Kaplan's request was to ask An Yi to allow a football team composed of experts from Europe and the United States working in southern Sichuan to hold a friendly football match with a team composed of thirty-four British prisoners of war and members of the International Red Cross. This
The "little request" seems very simple, but in fact it is very complicated and contains too many things that go far beyond the football game itself. As long as An Yi agrees, it will create such a perception for the outside world: An Yi's
The position has loosened.
From a humanitarian perspective, this is a good thing. It allows people from all walks of life at home and abroad to see the generous and open-minded side of An Yi and his army. It can also satisfy certain hopes and requirements of "humanitarians" at home and abroad, and he is also a capable person.
It was sensational news that the whole world talked about. But for An Yi himself, the political impact it brought was hard to estimate. The first thing he had to face was whether his own soldiers could understand it, and then Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, Shi
How would Zhen Sanbu and their staff view this preferential treatment, and how would the entire *** team view such an unconventional thing? It would be a huge boost to An Yi's international reputation.
But it may not be a good thing for An Yi's domestic reputation.
Kaplan saw An Yi slowly rotating the wine glass in her hand, and her beautiful eyes immediately released a radiance of great expectation and even a bit of coquettishness. Howard and his young secretary looked at it with smiles in their eyes, and they felt sorry for each other in their hearts.
I secretly admire Kaplan's wit and flexibility.
An Yi smiled slightly before Kaplan spoke again: "That's a good idea, Kaplan. I can't refuse any of your little requests."
Kaplan cheered with excitement, grabbed An Yi's hand excitedly, and thanked her affectionately. Howard and his secretary also raised their glasses happily and highly praised An Yi's generosity. Only Shen Fengdao remained expressionless.
From An Yi's brief hesitation, he knew that An Yi had already thought of various possibilities and countermeasures, so he didn't care at all.
An Yi waited for everyone to put down their cups and happily suggested: "Let me see, how about arranging the football match in the afternoon the day after tomorrow? If possible, I would like to arrange two consecutive matches, one between the International Red Cross and the embassies of various countries in China
A team composed of officials will compete with the British POW team. If there are not enough players, they will be supplemented by people from Europe and the United States who have stayed in southern Sichuan for a long time. The second game is the international team that won the runner-up in the first Southwest Sports Games last year, and we
The championship team composed of the army has another wonderful showdown. The gentlemen of the international team have been very unconvinced by the defeat. They have challenged us many times before. This is a good opportunity. I think these two games are called
Let's use the 'Peace Charity Cup' to fully express to the world our wish to stay away from war and love peace. We will let the relevant government departments plan publicity and external ticket sales, and hold a fundraising event by the way, and all the proceeds will be donated to the China-Myanmar border.
What about those who were disabled due to injuries in the war?"
Kaplan and Howard looked at each other, but they could only smile. There was no reason to disagree with An Yi's beautiful "peace charity" wish. As a result, the issue of prisoners of war would receive much less attention, and An Yi even ignored it.
The event of “raising funds for those injured and disabled in the Sino-Burmese border war” was organized in a timely manner. No money from the fund-raising activities and ticket sales will be given to the British and Burmese troops.
Shen Fengdao couldn't help laughing when he saw the smiles on the faces of the extremely unhappy Kaplan and Howard. At the same time, he was also amused by Kaplan's cleverness, thinking that you are too young to fight with the spirit-like An Yi. Let’s not talk about anything else but women. There are so many beauties around An Yi, and southern Sichuan is an extremely open emerging city. Young people with the ideal of serving the country and versatile professionals from all over China are coming in droves. Currently, men and women from Europe and the United States who have lived there for a long time have There are more than 100,000 people, including nearly 50,000 from Belarus. There are countless beauties from various countries who have been courting An Yi during the old Nanchang period. There are countless European and American women who are more beautiful and charming than Kaplan, let alone now. If not An Yi is strict with himself and never indulges except for a few beloved women around him. I am afraid that he will give birth to a lot of mixed-race children by now.
After the simple but exquisite dinner, everyone came to the parking lot together. After thinking about it, Howard politely invited An Yi to a place about ten meters away from everyone, and made a sincere request to An Yi:
"Ann, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have to say where my responsibilities lie. As early as when you commanded the army to fight the Great Wall War, countries around the world, including your enemy, the Japanese army, had secretly put into use radio detection and I am interested in electronic equipment for measuring distances. This new equipment, called "radar" for short, is only in the research stage in the United States. After World War I, the U.S. government's investment in weapons and equipment research was greatly reduced, causing several important talents to leave. China came to work in your research institute. After our military learned that this advanced equipment appeared and was put into use, it took it very seriously. To be honest, I have also contacted two American scientists working for you, but they have admirable capabilities. professional ethics, and did not disclose any relevant content to me. It can be seen that you are more important and trustworthy in their hearts than me. In view of the fact that China and the United States have launched close cooperation in the fields of finance, trade, industry and commerce, etc., We very much hope that you can share advanced scientific and technological achievements with us through technology transfer or technology exchange."
An Yi smiled and said: "Members James and Hertel are still being escorted back to Nanjing Special Prison. What do you have to say about this, my friend?"
Howard's chiseled face suddenly turned red: "Thank you very much for your kindness, dear Ann, you did not announce to the outside world that our two stupid employees were secretly arrested during this large-scale raid in southern Sichuan. We are deeply grateful for this." , the US *** team also remembers your deep friendship, I apologize to you for my predecessor’s rash decision, and will make some compensation for this, please accept it."
Only then did An Yi seriously reply: "It's nothing, my friend. I may not be able to trouble you for such things in the future. Throughout history, human society has been full of military spies and commercial spies. In modern times, Even more so, don't you and Britain, who are such a close ally, often have trouble with this? I can understand it, but I really hope that such unpleasant things will never happen again.
"Also, regarding the radar you mentioned just now, we are actually still in the intensive research stage. During the first use of the Great Wall during the Anti-Japanese War, many problems occurred, such as short detection range, low detection accuracy, unstable operation, and insufficient power supply. The problems are being solved one by one. This Sino-Myanmar border war was too sudden and short, and there was no chance for actual combat testing. Therefore, it will take a long period of research and improvement before it can be initially finalized.
"Now I can give you a clear answer. Once the final testing is completed and can be effectively put into use, I will inform you as soon as possible. In any case, the US government's attitude towards the Chinese has greatly improved in recent years. Not only has it canceled
The discriminatory Chinese Exclusion Act also treats Chinese companies in the United States equally and allows fair competition. This is a huge progress.
"What particularly touches me is that your government has opened many convenient doors for Chinese young people to go to the United States to study advanced science and technology. With this, I admire you very much and win the favor of me and my soldiers.
.You also know that there are many American scientists in my various research institutes, and there are also many of our international students in prestigious universities in the United States. Cooperation with you is our first choice."
"Thank you very much, my friend!"
Howard stretched out his big hand, shook An Yi's hand tightly, and expressed his sincere gratitude in a low voice. With An Yi's promise, it was enough for him to go back and do business. He knew very well that such a major matter could never be conveyed in a few words.
What agreement has been reached? Through the progress and information of related radar research from the United States, he also knows that this high-tech product is definitely not easy to finalize. It will not be possible in three to five years. As long as An Yi's commitment is there,
The next step of cooperation between the two parties will be carried out smoothly, and not only the single product of radar, but also the individual weapons that Anjiajun continues to experiment on the battlefield, the research on various special drugs, etc. will also become the content of technical exchanges between the two parties.
.
An Yi saw off Howard and others and returned home. He stayed with his two lovely wives and sons for more than an hour, then put on casual clothes and walked into the Dongyuan small building.
Ye Qing, who had just finished taking a bath, heard the noise, tightened his nightgown and walked to the stairs. Just when he was about to curse a few words, he saw An Yi holding his babbling son with such tenderness and love. He was stunned for a moment.
, she has never seen An Yi with such a focused and loving side. Watching the child's tender little hands constantly caressing An Yi's face, listening to the cheerful laughter of "Yi Yi Ya Ya" coming from the child's mouth, Ye Ye
Qing was suddenly moved, and suddenly felt how happy she would be if she had a child.
Mother Wu, who was smiling, saw Ye Qing standing blankly on the stairs, and quickly took the child and said to An Yi: "Girl Qing is here, you should go and do some work beforehand, your sister has to work overtime again tonight.
I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until late at night. Sigh... You should also advise your sister not to be too busy, her health is important!"
"Okay, I will definitely advise her not to work so hard."
An Yi smiled apologetically, gently touched his son's pink face a few times with his fingers, and walked quickly up the stairs amidst his cute laughter.
Going up to the small living room on the second floor, An Yi took the initiative to make Ye Qing a cup of her favorite Wulong Maojian. She also made a cup of stronger fragrant tea. They put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, put it down gently, and looked up to see
Ye Qingmu was stunned at the charming and charming look behind her.
"What are you looking at? Bad things..."
Ye Qing picked up a sunflower seed from the plate and threw it on An Yi's head.
An Yi chuckled: "Sister Qing, I have something to ask you..."
After hearing An Yi's statement and thoughts, Ye Qing immediately put away his lazy and casual look. After thinking about it very seriously, he solemnly suggested:
"If this is the case, you'd better report it to Chairman Chiang. The political influence behind this matter is really incalculable. Chairman Chiang may think that you are monopolizing power. Your identity is different now.
At yesterday's preparatory meeting for the Central Plenary Session in Nanjing, you were nominated to the Central Executive Committee. It seems that the top brass of the Central Committee have a clearer understanding of the importance of the Southwest. No one dares to exclude you, a local emperor, from the decision-making level.
As for *** control, don't worry. While promoting, we will also objectively report on the process of Sino-British negotiations and the follow-up events of the Western Yunnan War, including the Yunnan Army and Xia Jian's 26th Army obtained in interviews
The voice of a soldier."
An Yi nodded: "In that case... I'd better fly to Nanchang early tomorrow morning. The day after tomorrow, the committee will go to Fuzhou for inspection. The two columns commanded by General Chen Cheng have just severely damaged the Red Army. The report said that they have achieved victory.
It was a great victory to annihilate eight thousand people and capture nearly three thousand prisoners, so the commissioner is going to Fuzhou to hold some kind of experience exchange meeting. I have to make it clear to him before he leaves Nanchang, otherwise it will be a huge headache if there is misunderstanding."
Ye Qing nodded silently and stopped talking. He leaned over and picked up the steaming tea cup. Because it was too hot, he still didn't dare to pick it up after holding it for a while. The spring scenery in the open skirt of his nightgown was exposed at a glance, which made An Yi see it.
My mouth watered just looking at the time.
Ye Qing suddenly noticed An Yi's leering gaze, quickly gathered up his clothes, and angrily threw himself at him with a pink punch. After a few blows, he lay panting in An Yi's broad arms, and couldn't help but greet her hot and sexy lips.
