Military Academy Education Director Zhang Tianyi, Intelligence Director Du Yi, and Gendarmerie Commander Guo Sizheng accompanied An Yi and his party and met with more than ten representatives of British companies stationed in southern Sichuan. The British seemed very polite, and no one accused An Jiajun or the Chinese army of being wrong.
After all, it was learned that these thirty-four British officers were captured on Chinese soil. Even if there was a huge reason, they could not absolve themselves of the crime of aggression.
The British companies represented by the representatives attending today have not followed the calls of the government and parliament, and continue to maintain close economic, trade and investment relations with An Yi's enterprise groups and governments at all levels in southern Sichuan, and continue to undertake the construction of hydropower stations, bridges and large-scale projects in various parts of southern Sichuan.
Factories and other projects. After the two major British companies that originally built the railway were ordered to stop project construction, they suffered extremely heavy losses. Germany and France
The National Railway Construction Company took advantage of the situation and successfully divided up their four tender sections. Although the two companies that received compensation from the British government did not seem to have suffered much losses, seeing the strong influence of the Anyi Alliance in the Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou regions
After gaining momentum, they still quietly kept the main heads of various departments in the Syrian government and continued to maintain certain contact with the Anyi Group, hoping to make a comeback after the normalization of Sino-British relations.
An Yi and more than a dozen British representatives are very familiar with each other. Three of the engineers were also An Yi's partners on the football field. Therefore, the atmosphere was very harmonious after the meeting, and the greetings were natural, without saying anything.
After a few words, An Yi accompanied these dozen well-dressed British gentlemen to the military academy stadium and gave them special treatment to meet the captured British officers. Every British man had a look of gratitude on his face.
An Yi knew in his heart that the reason why these dozen British representatives were found so quickly must be the result of the British consulate's efforts behind the scenes. So far, British officials want to visit thirty-four captured British officers.
All applications were rejected by the Anjia Army Headquarters without hesitation. Therefore, the British officials in China who had no choice but to think of the company representatives who had been stationed in Syria for a long time cleverly played the emotional card and tried their luck. Facts have proved that
, their idea is correct.
The game on the court was going on intensely. These representatives from the British civil society saw the British officers in prison uniforms running sweaty and devoted themselves to it. When they heard the shouts and curses coming from them, they finally completely
They felt relieved and had relaxed smiles on their faces.
The two leaders of the British delegation saw Brigadier General Gilbert, who was said to be dying of illness, wearing a straight general's uniform and serving as the referee blowing the whistle on the court with great energy. They looked at each other, and after a while they both came to the already
In front of An Yi who was sitting on the bench of the coaching bench and watching with interest, he thanked An Yi gratefully, shook hands and politely left, and walked quickly towards the referee Gilbert who was moving quickly with the advancing formation of the offensive team on the field.
Guo Sizheng was amused by what he saw. He sat down and laughed loudly: "You damn British guy can feel so comfortable in jail...Old Zhang, can you imagine that the brigadier general who blew the whistle was lying in bed half-dead and acting like a swindler three days ago?"
"
Zhang Tianyi immediately became happy, took off his military cap and laughed, turned to Du Yi beside him and asked: "Director Du, I heard that several instructors who were transferred to participate in the interrogation came back and told me that two days before the interrogation started,
Some of these prisoners were so frightened that they peed their pants, is this happening?"
"Yes! Although most of these officers are veteran ruffians who have been in the army for many years, a few young staff officers have never fought in a war before. Soon after they were sent to India, they followed the army to northern Myanmar. They were placed under arrest just three days after the war started.
The Jin brigade marched into the wilderness, put on hoods and ran for more than a hundred kilometers.
They were immediately packed into a plane and transported to our prison. Once here, they were held in solitary confinement for surprise interrogation. The prisoners could not see each other, let alone pass news. Several lieutenant colonels and colonels who had experienced war and had excellent mental qualities were trembling with fear.
, with a pale face, no one knows what they are getting into
In this place, they were afraid that if they did anything wrong, they would be dragged out and shot. It would be strange if the young officers were not scared to death. In addition, the military policemen under the Fourth Foreman were all specially selected, and they all had faces as fierce as wolves and tigers. They had already
How many of the British guys who have lost all their confidence can still remain calm? Let’s start with the first one
Oh my god, nearly half of the prisoners couldn't eat. Some of the young ones forced themselves to swallow the bread we specially prepared for them, but they vomited as soon as they swallowed it. This shows how correct our psychological attack measures were. The subsequent interrogation went very smoothly.
It also proves the benefits of doing so." Du Yi replied in a low voice.
Zhang Tianyi lamented: "Since I joined the army, I have seen prisoners or criminals detained in groups. Only your intelligence bureau has formulated strict isolation and alert measures from the beginning.
It puts heavy psychological pressure on the prisoners. No wonder there are rumors in the military that they must not be targeted by your Secrecy Bureau, otherwise they will be frightened half to death even if they are caught."
"No way? Why are we being spoken of in such a bad light? We are more civilized towards those who commit crimes internally and almost never beat or scold them. How could we be so offensive?" Du Yi's face was full of injustice.
Guo Sizheng chuckled: "Come on, Lao Du, it would be better if Fan Tao and those executioners in your bureau beat people, but as long as they don't beat or scold, the people being interrogated will be even worse. The corrupt Luzhou Civil Affairs Bureau
The chief of the relief department, who earns more than 30,000 yuan, is a typical example.
, he went in for three days and came out without a single scratch on his body, but his appearance has changed. He still can’t recognize who his wife is. He has runny nose and drool all day long in the streets, shouting that he must change his mind, even the bullets used to kill him.
Save it, the impact will be far-reaching!”
The brothers nearby laughed heartily after hearing this. Du Yi chuckled twice and closed his mouth. He took out a pack of Saber cigarettes, lit them leisurely and started smoking, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Dai Li, who had returned from half a circle with An Yi, stood behind the brothers and quietly looked at Du Yi, who was enjoying the game on the court with his eyes half closed. He thought for a moment and pulled An Yi aside, and whispered: "Brother, please
How about your Du Yi being seconded to me for a while?"
An Yi was very surprised. He couldn't help but look at Du Yi, who was sitting inconspicuously among the frolicking brothers, and frowned slightly: "Brother, why do you have such an idea?"
Dai Li praised: "Du Yi is a rare talent! The year before last, I saw Du Yi listed as deputy director of the Detective Division of the Fourth Department but I didn't take it seriously, but later I learned about his outstanding talent.
Not to mention, let’s just say that the entire plan and actions of this sudden manhunt in southern Sichuan were orderly and interlocking from beginning to end, not only as fast as a flash
The lightning was as fast as thunder, and it was extremely thorough and comprehensive. The cases uncovered were even more shocking, with almost no one slipping through the cracks... The top leaders of the Central Committee and the Military Commission were shocked. Such a great talent is really rare! Lend me a year and a half of
, teach some experience to my subordinates, guide the new people, and I will return it to you when you are done, what do you think?"
"I'm afraid it won't work in the near future. Big brother also knows that Du Yi is the only one who handles intelligence in the army. We can't do without him here!" An Yi declined politely.
Dai Li thought for a while and took a step back: "Let's see, the first cadre training class will be held at Brother Yu's place starting in May, and Du Yi will be seconded to teach for half a month. This should be okay, right? The training time of the cadre training class
The initial period is set to be six months, and in the future each training class will only require Du Yi to attend for half a month."
"If that's the case, we can still arrange to come here. Du Yi will visit various intelligence stations once or twice every year. To squeeze in time, there shouldn't be much delay."
This time, An Yi did not hesitate and agreed readily. The closer the relationship with Dai Li's military commander, the greater the help to An's army in the future. At least in terms of intelligence sharing, it can be much better than Xu Enzeng's central commander.
A long whistle sounded, and the game on the court ended.
The British officers, who were sweating profusely and still unfinished, saw more than a dozen of their compatriots appearing on the sidelines of the field. Several of them, middle-aged gentlemen who looked extremely elegant, even hugged Brigadier General Gilbert excitedly. They immediately realized their situation.
When the light appeared, no one missed the ball anymore. They walked to the sidelines one by one. Under Gilbert's introduction, they shook hands warmly with the compatriots who came to visit them.
An Yi and his brothers were sitting on the coaching bench, watching everything in front of them silently. A company of security gendarmes scattered around the stadium slowly closed up and stood in a semicircle more than 20 meters away from the prisoners of war.
, nervously observing every move of the prisoners without hesitation.
After the group of British people had a lively conversation for more than ten minutes, Hughes and Crater, the leaders of the visiting representatives, accompanied by Brigadier General Gilbert, came to An Yi.
An Yi stood up and nodded with a smile, politely faced the sincere thanks from the two British gentlemen, looked at the well-groomed Gilbert, and laughed in a low voice:
"General, there is still half an hour of visiting time. If the general has anything, he can tell Mr. Hughes and the others during this time. The next visit will take about ten days, and so many people are no longer allowed to meet at the same time. According to
According to the regulations on the management of prisoners of war in our army, those who are not immediate family members or approved government officials cannot make requests to visit prisoners of war. I am really sorry, but you are still prisoners of war, and the warring parties have not reached any explicit agreement on the armistice. This point,
I need to speak clearly."
Gilbert's expression darkened, and the corners of his twitching mouth raised his beautiful beard a few times: "Of course, we can understand. But - General, according to the news just brought by my fellow countrymen Mr. Hughes and Mr. Crete, the International
Red Cross officials will arrive tomorrow, will the general not allow them to meet with our thirty-four defeated generals?"
"Of course you can meet, but it is only limited to meetings. Apart from inspecting your living environment, as well as your due rights and political treatment, the officials of the International Red Cross have no say in whether you are released. Please also ask for this.
You remember."
An Yi bluntly reminded Gilbert never to forget his status as a prisoner of war.
"I'm sorry, General, can I never visit poor Gilbert again?" Crater asked anxiously.
An Yi smiled regretfully: "In principle, it's not possible. I'm very accommodating in allowing you to come to visit this time, because you are all our friends, and we will not easily refuse requests from friends. But, dear
Crater, you are different from General Gilbert. You are builders.
, Generals, they are saboteurs, professional soldiers who invaded Chinese territory with arms, so I can only deal with them in accordance with military law. Thinking about it from another perspective, if the Chinese army invades Myanmar and is captured by the British army, the British army will treat the prisoners of war as friendly as we do
? General Gilbert, would you like to answer this question?"
Gilbert smiled bitterly, not daring to make contact with An Yi's sharp eyes. Crete and Hughes could only keep their mouths shut knowingly. They knew that if the situation were reversed, the British army would definitely not be as civilized and friendly as An's army.
Twenty minutes later, the military police company commander blew the whistle to assemble. Hughes and others reluctantly said goodbye to Gilbert and other captured officers, and watched as thirty-four officers filed out of the stadium dejectedly, one after another.
Sad and worried.
Seeing An Yi and General An Jiajun about to leave, Hughes quickly came up and politely asked An Yi to stay: "General, for the sake of our personal friendship, can you reveal the specific time when the prisoners of war will be released?"
An Yi answered sadly: "The release is certain, but it is estimated that it will take a long time. The two governments need to reach a series of agreements on border issues and make necessary definitions of war responsibilities. Just take the Syrian Air Force that we participated in the war as an example.
, in this war against aggression, seventeen aircraft were lost and more than thirty pilots died. The huge amount of money spent for this has not yet been fully calculated.
After all, banks in three counties and towns in Yunnan were looted by the British and Burmese troops, with direct cash losses exceeding three million yuan, not to mention the more than 17,000 Chinese soldiers who died or were injured in a week of fierce fighting.
Therefore, without statistics over a long period of time, it is impossible to determine the specific number of war claims. Until this key issue is resolved, all prisoners of war will not be able to return home."
"My God... General, please allow me to say frankly that the British government will never agree to such harsh conditions. As far as I know, the number of killed and wounded in the British and Burmese troops is more than double that of your country's army.
, how can you calculate it clearly?" Hughes exclaimed in surprise.
An Yi shrugged and said with a smile: "If you can't figure it out, just do it slowly. It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. If the British government is really unwilling to compensate for the huge losses its barbaric aggression has caused to the Chinese military and civilians, we
There is no other way but to escort the prisoners of war to quarries or mining areas in remote areas to work in compensation. Don’t worry, we will strictly calculate the losses caused per capita, and we will release the prisoners of war immediately after they have completed their compensation through labor.
he."
Hughes was completely stunned, and the British around him were also extremely shocked. They were very clear about An Yi's character and strength, and knew that An Yi could do what he said. This man enjoyed a high reputation in the eyes of the Chinese military and civilians.
, a young general who also has a great say in the army, once he gets angry, even China's most powerful Chairman Chiang Kai-shek can do nothing to him. It is extremely difficult to get him to give in!
