An Yi's speech at the Lushan Legion Training Group made Chiang Kai-shek very displeased. Under the current good situation of concentrating the whole country to suppress the Communists and achieving successive victories, An Yi did not mention the suppression of the Communists but shouted for resistance to Japan, which was inconsistent with Chiang Kai-shek's current policy.
The strategy runs counter to that.
Fortunately, An Yi did not criticize the British colonists who were negotiating with the central government in his speech, nor did he turn his attention to upholding justice on the surface. In the past few years, he has been targeting China in various fields of economy, trade and culture, especially through the Silver Bill at the end of May.
The Americans, whose shameless plunder aroused widespread resentment among the people, still made Chiang Kai-shek and the military advisers he invited feel uneasy.
Although none of the European and American military advisers criticized An Yi's sharp speech, in his private gatherings and discussions, they all believed that the army with prevalent nationalism was difficult to control and command. The military advisers' attitude of worrying about gains and losses, and their attitude toward An Yi
The new generation of Chinese generals and troops represented by Yi and An Jiajun have become increasingly tough on Europe and the United States. The reality of gradually gaining real power in the military reflects the complex mentality of various military units. In Germany, after Hitler came to power,
The various manifestations of the prevalence of nationalism have made countries around the world generally worried and afraid. Now China has also shown this tendency, and there is also the existence of the Renaissance Society, a legendary organization similar to fascism, which has increased the suspicion of various countries. However, China
The generals generally held a welcoming attitude.
Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek asked An Yi why he didn't talk about the current overall situation of suppressing communism and why he didn't consider the feelings and face of the political advisors on the rostrum? An Yi's answer surprised Chiang Kai-shek and he had nothing to say.
An Yi's answer was: Now that all the battlefields for suppressing bandits are being won one after another, it proves that the strategy of encirclement and suppression formulated by the committee is correct. If I speak on this, isn't it just a trick? Besides, the training group has been studying the "three principles" of the committee.
I dare not make a fool of myself with the great theory of "military, military and military." As for worrying that my speech will cause dissatisfaction among military advisers from various countries, there is no need to do so, because what I have listed are all things that have happened and
No one can deny the facts of what is happening, and beating these arrogant military advisors will only benefit and not harm our mid-level and senior commanders. Military advisors who serve in the Central Military Academy and training corps, to put it bluntly, are
They are paid to work, they are workers who are subordinate to us. They are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on our internal affairs. What they want to do is to impart their military skills to others and turn the principal's ideas into
A realistic and feasible plan that is worthy of their generous remuneration would be considered good.
Chiang Kai-shek was helpless with An Yi's answer and waved him away. This time, from the enthusiastic response from more than 2,000 trainees of the Officer Training Corps, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly discovered that An Yi's influence among the army officers and soldiers was slowly growing, especially among the military officers and soldiers.
Most of the middle and lower-level officers simply regard An Yi as their role model and goal.
What made Chiang Kai-shek even more uneasy was that the officers of the Central Army divisions below the battalion level were basically from the seventh, eighth, and ninth batches of the Central Military Academy, and there were also some non-commissioned officers from old Nanchang and later Xufu.
School, and these graduated officers who have taken up grassroots military leadership positions all respect An Yi as their teacher and superior. Through books such as "Model Camp" and "Iron-Blooded Army", radio and movies, through the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War and the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War
After studying and researching, they admired An Yi's moral character and military talent so much that many people even went so far as to be almost blind. In addition, the military industry enterprises led by An Yi were very competitive, and the weapons and ammunition they produced were not inferior to the original goods purchased from European and American countries.
, submachine guns, mortars, pistols and grenades, weapons that every officer and soldier sees and touches every day, in terms of design, manufacturing quality and craftsmanship, far exceed the purchase of similar products from Germany and the United States, and the price is two times cheaper.
How can we not let the officers and soldiers who have used imported weapons for a long time and whose self-esteem has been damaged day by day be happy and proud, and then develop a mentality of worship?
Another most important point is that every time a major disaster occurred in China over the past few years, An Yi would stand up and call on all walks of life across the country to lend a helping hand. He also spent huge sums of money to purchase batches of urgently needed disaster relief supplies.
Food is delivered to the victims. As of the end of last year, Anyi has resettled nearly 10 million homeless victims across the country, benefiting hundreds of millions of victims across the country, including many in northern Shandong, western Henan, southern Shaanxi, western Hubei, and western Hunan.
In various places, after overcoming the difficulties, the grateful people immediately built ancestral halls or small temples to worship General An. The vast majority of officers and soldiers in various divisions of the Central Army are poor children, and they also feel close to their hometown.
Like all my brothers and sisters, I thanked An Yi for his kindness, praised An Jiajun's deeds, and regarded it as a kind of faith.
Take the current severe drought that is still worsening in the two lakes, Huanghuai, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan and other places as an example. It has only been ten days since An Yi was announced as the deputy director of the disaster relief committee, and he has only issued a statement to all walks of life across the country and people in the disaster areas.
After two speeches, the most severely affected areas in southern Henan and southern Shandong and Huaibei quickly stabilized. In the two lake areas, thanks to the early action of An Yi and his allies, the victims were able to sit at home and receive gifts from local government officials and garrisoned soldiers.
There was basically no worrying news about the relief food. After seeing the hope of survival, tens of millions of victims in the Jiangbei area also stopped going south and were returning home one after another.
An Yi was extremely quick and efficient in the distribution of disaster relief funds and material allocation. The only requirement was that the garrison generals and all officers and soldiers should take care of the victims as their own relatives and parents of food and clothing, and said that he would give the military and generals who have made outstanding achievements in disaster relief the spirit of
and material dual rewards, and give priority to solving the equipment maintenance problem of these troops.
For this reason, even Han Fuqu, the rebellious Chairman of Shandong Province who always defied the central government, gave An Yi a thumbs up and said, "No wonder the good minister (Sun Liangcheng) and other old brothers admire General An so much."
.
All of this gave An Yi high prestige and reputation in all walks of life across the country, especially in the military. Chiang Kai-shek felt deeply worried and uneasy every time he thought about it.
On August 29, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed a resolution to issue 20 million yuan of "Jiangsu Water Conservancy Construction Public Bonds." On the afternoon of the day when the resolution was announced, Zhou Chongan, who had taken up the post of deputy general manager of China Southwest Bank after quitting the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, took the initiative to call
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and President Wang, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, took the initiative to purchase 10 million of the public bonds based on the reputation of the southwest financial and industrial and commercial circles for expressing trust and support for the central government. This move made Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and the central government, who were heavily in debt,
Officials from various government ministries were extremely grateful, especially Chiang Kai-shek, who was grateful but also a little suspicious.
Almost at the same time, news came from Sichuan that the suppression of the Communist Party had failed. The main force of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army, under the command of Xu Xiangqian, suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack and defeated the Sichuan Army Li Jiayu's Third Route Army and Yang Sen's Fourth Route Army within half a day. The Sichuan Army suffered losses.
The Sichuan Army's six-pronged suppression force collapsed and retreated rapidly, forcing them to turn their offensive into a defensive position. Liu Xiang was so frightened that he sent a telegram to the whole country and resigned as commander-in-chief of Sichuan's suppression of communism.
As a result, the two major battlefields of the nationwide suppression of communism were shaken violently.
Chiang Kai-shek, who served as the commander-in-chief of the nationwide suppression of the Communist Party, was extremely anxious after receiving the telegram. While ordering all the troops in the Fujian and Jiangxi battlefields to suppress the Communist Party to cheer up and fight steadily, he urgently summoned He Guoguang, director of the Chongqing camp, and Secretary-General Zeng Xuan came back to report on his duties. At the same time, he called
Liu Xiang tried to comfort him and suggested that he take the initiative to negotiate with Liu Wenhui, Chairman of Sichuan Province, and work together to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces.
In the past month and a half, the Sichuan Army's suppression of the Communist Party has suffered successive setbacks and lost troops and generals. There have been many internal conflicts and complaints among the Sichuan Army. Liu Xiang called Chiang Kai-shek several times to request that more main troops be sent to Sichuan to assist in the war. Chiang Kai-shek was still unable to make a decision due to various reasons. During this period, the staff officer
Under the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European and American military advisory groups, Chiang Kai-shek twice wanted to transfer An Yi to the front line in northern Sichuan to serve as the commander-in-chief of the general suppression of the former enemy. The first time was because Yang Yongtai and other close advisers were worried that An Yi would take the opportunity to unify Bashu and he shelved it.
, the second time was that the intensifying disaster required An Yi. Only An Yi, who was wealthy and had high prestige in the eyes of the entire *** people, could be competent in disaster relief work and appease the people. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek could only step up the allocation of military supplies to Liu Xiang.
Special military pay was allocated as encouragement, and the three main divisions of the Central Army stationed in Chongqing and eastern Sichuan were ordered to go all out to join the Sichuan Army in the suppression campaign, and the command of the three divisions was generously handed over to Liu Xiang.
However, the sudden attack of the Huanghan Red Army on the Sichuan-Hubei border and the successful breakout of the Helong Red Army into the western Hubei area effectively contained the three main divisions of the Central Army, together with Liu Xiang's two security divisions, and were also dragged in
The front line in eastern Sichuan was unable to move, and the only remaining division of the Central Army remained stationary in Chongqing. It refused to obey Liu Xiang's dispatch on the grounds of protecting Chongqing's defense.
Although Liu Xiang knew clearly that one of Chiang Kai-shek's divisions stationed in Chongqing could not be mobilized, in order to vent his grievances, he still continued to order the division to move north to the battlefield to suppress the Communists. The two sides immediately entered a stalemate, and the relationship was extremely tense.
He Guoguang and Zeng Kuanqing strictly abided by Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and tried every means to appease him. This made Liu Xiang angrily stop fighting. However, now that the Sichuan army's suppression troops were defeated across the board and suffered heavy losses, Liu Xiang's anger was reignited again, and there was nothing he could do.
I finally gave up my job.
Just two days after An Yi arrived in Nanjing, he gathered with Zhang Cheng, who had returned from Germany, and more than 20 old subordinates, to solicit everyone's opinions and discuss how to bring into play everyone's knowledge and talents. The preliminary appointment decision had just been completed.
Four Belarusian overseas Chinese leaders rushed to Nanjing and asked An Yi to generously accommodate more than 7,000 Belarusians who had to evacuate the Northeast region and fled to Shanghai.
Several overseas Chinese leaders painfully told An Yi that the environment in Shanghai has become increasingly unsuitable for the survival of Belarusian expatriates. Affected by the appreciation of silver, signs of currency shortages have appeared in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Factories have stopped working and production, and economic development has almost come to a standstill.
However, the influx of people from all over the world and the wealthy class in China are still crowded with the oriental metropolis of Shanghai. The Belarusian refugees, who do not have any social status in the first place, are simply unable to maintain a high living index and ensure the safety of their lives and property.
There is no guarantee of a foothold in Shanghai and other places in China, and most of the last batch of Belarusian expatriates to evacuate the three northeastern provinces belong to the poor class. Most of the occupations they engage in in the northeast are manual labor, and the best ones are only teachers and factory technicians.
, under the oppression of the Japanese invaders and the puppet Manchukuo government, they had to leave the Northeast region where they originally thought they could live a hard life.
Although the Soviet Russian government also made a promise to the Belarusian expatriates to forget about the past after returning to the country, almost all the previous batches of Belarusians who happily returned to the motherland were arrested, imprisoned, interrogated and purged. Not even one out of ten survived. This time
, people who miss their homeland no longer dare to risk going back.
In the minds of these suffering Belarusians, they have only one savior, and that is An Yi.
Starting from the first time they received help from An Yi, more than 100,000 Belarusian refugees who had been abandoned by their homeland and the world settled down in old Nanchang, Xiangxi and the emerging industrial and commercial city Xufu, and gradually lived a peaceful and prosperous life. After four years,
After more than 10 years of development, the smart and diligent Belarusian expatriates have gradually integrated into all areas under the jurisdiction of Anjiajun through their own hard work. Countless people have become glorious and respected teachers at all levels, technical engineers in major factories, and many scientific research institutions.
Scientists, hundreds of them were lucky enough to become officers in the military education and research department of the Anjia Army. All Belarusian expatriates were protected by the law and received acceptance, help and care from the kind and enthusiastic Chinese people.
Countless Belarusian men and women gave birth to their own offspring in a stable and prosperous life. Hundreds of young Belarusian men and women began to intermarry with Chinese youths and had children, forming strange but very peaceful and happy families. Therefore, the Belarusian overseas leaders
The last group of compatriots who fled the Northeast pinned their hopes for survival on An Yi, the nation's great benefactor.
An Yi warmly received the four overseas Chinese leaders who were familiar with Belarus. After several years of interaction, they all became old friends. Belarus’ support for the cause and ideals of the Anyi Group also made An Yi deeply respect Belarus.
During the discussion, an urgent order from Chairman Chiang came. An Yi stopped being polite and took out a map and pointed to the Simao area in southern Yunnan, clearly stating that this would be the next settlement of Belarus.
The four Belarusian overseas leaders immediately cheered and stepped forward one by one, hugged An Yi and thanked him excitedly - they all knew that Simao, which An Yi was constantly investing huge sums of money in building, was in the eyes of the French and all-pervasive businessmen from Europe and the United States.
The southern Yunnan region, which is full of opportunities for making money, will soon become a huge new city. It will be safer, have a more beautiful environment, and have more job opportunities than the prosperous Xufu today.
An Yi rushed from Nanjing to Lushan. Before entering the chairman's official residence, Wang Shihe quietly told him that Mr. Guofu, Mr. Yongzhi, Mr. Chang Qing and the heads of the Third Military Commission Headquarters were all here and were waiting for you to arrive for the meeting.
An Yi immediately realized that Sichuan's fate had reached a decisive moment.
