Back in Xiyuan, An Yi asked Shen Fengdao to inform Du Yi and Gong Qian to come for the meeting.
Chen Geng's sudden appearance was definitely not as simple as coming here to mobilize Han Yu to return to the embrace of the Red Army. He probably had other intentions, but An Yi couldn't figure it out for a while, so he wanted to work together to deal with it during the meeting in the evening. The unreasonable demands and questions that Chen Geng may have raised. At the same time, An Yi also wanted to ask Du Yi about the situation, why Chen Geng had been in Xu Mansion for a few days, but he did not see him reporting to him.
While An Yi was waiting patiently, Yang Bin arrived in a hurry: "I just received a telegram from Nanjing. Joseph Hepburn Ruston, the economic liaison officer assigned by the German government to the Syrian government in China, is already on the special plane to the Syrian government. He is expected to arrive soon. The plane will land at Minjiang Airport in an hour and ask us to give it a grand reception."
An Yi was a little surprised: "Is this the Joseph Hepburn Ruston who Ji Nan mentioned to me that although he was a British baron, he joined the German Nazi Party? But counting the time, more than two months have passed. It’s time for this guy to arrive in China. I don’t know what those people in Nanjing are doing to inform us so late..."
Yang Bin said with a smile: "I think someone in Nanjing was unhappy, so he deliberately suppressed the news and did not tell us. Now that he couldn't hold it in anymore, he called us and made a perfunctory decision. Hehe, the German government is not in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places. Posting an economic liaison officer, but setting up such a strange official position in our Syrian government will definitely lead to speculation and dissatisfaction from many interested people."
An Yi nodded: "This title is indeed strange, but I think it is nothing more than strengthening mutual economic ties and cooperation and striving for more benefits for German companies. In addition, the military industry companies in southern Sichuan have made great progress in recent years. In order to speed up its military expansion, Germany wants to get some treasures from us, so it let this former British banker who brought millions of losses to the Nazi party come to our Syrian government."
At this time Shen Fengdao walked in, and An Yi quickly ordered him to prepare the welcoming motorcade, and then asked the officials at the headquarters to temporarily put down their work and go to the airport to greet the German guests.
The group of people arrived at Minjiang Airport in a mighty manner. On the way, Shen Fengdao told An Yi that Du Yi had already known that Chen Geng had sneaked into the Xu Mansion, but he did not take action in order to catch a big fish in the long run. No one thought of his goal. It turned out to be an art troupe. The moment Chen Geng walked into Han Yu's office on the second floor under the guidance of guards in the name of visiting relatives, Du Yi had made all preparations, and the internal line assigned to the art troupe was quickly activated to respond to all possible emergencies. Trouble. I didn’t expect that Chen Geng only said a few words to Han Yu, but Han Yu couldn’t bear it and screamed. Chen Geng was too late to leave. He was subdued by Hu Shaofen who broke into the door and several black gun muzzles. All that happened was in this way.
An Yi pondered for a while and felt that Du Yi's caution was quite reasonable. After all, Han Yu was involved. No one knew whether Han Yu, who was pushed by him to be the head of the cultural troupe, was his woman. He should observe and analyze more. Obtaining evidence will prevent you from unjustly accusing a good person and leaving him passive. Perhaps this is the quality of a good agent.
The motorcade stopped at the airport and lined up. Chief of Staff Ye Cheng, Director of the Political Department Zhan Zhan, and Aviation Commander Huang Bingyi attended the welcome ceremony in general uniforms. On the government side, Jiang Yunshan, Dong Zechuan, Mr. Qi, etc. were all dressed in suits, looking very special. It was grand and obviously full of curiosity and expectation for the guests from Germany.
The plane slowly stopped on the runway, and the cabin door opened. An anxious Joseph held the hands of his wife and daughter and appeared first at the ramp. When he saw the grand reception scene from southern Sichuan, he felt relieved and happily greeted the welcome
The crowd waved.
An Yi led a group of civil and military officials and greeted him with a smile. The German he had learned with Ye Cheng for more than two years finally came in handy: "Welcome, Mr. Joseph, welcome, Ms. Ella Fan, haha, and this lovely
My children, welcome to Xufu in southwest China."
Joseph was not surprised at all that An Yi knew his wife's name, and said gratefully: "Thank you, General. I'm really sorry that you would come to greet me personally. You don't know that before I came to China, I watched "Model"
The German translation of "Battle" and "Iron Lion", I admire the general's glorious experience and great achievements from the bottom of my heart."
An Yi laughed: "Mr. Joseph, we don't need to be so polite. You will work in Xufu for a long time in the future. I believe we will get along very happily in the future. By the way, you haven't introduced me to the gentlemen behind you yet.
, where is the lady..."
Joseph quickly turned around and introduced his entourage to An Yi. It seemed that the Germans really wanted to carry out all-round cooperation with the Xufu City. In addition to buying more than ten acres of land in the west of Xufu City last year to build their own economic liaison office,
, this time they sent fifteen staff members at once, which shows that they attach great importance to An Jiajun.
An Yi shook hands and saluted one by one. These Germanic people from all over Germany were not as arrogant and rude as they imagined. They all showed modest smiles when facing An Yi, and even had a bit of flattery.
Next, An Yi introduced the Chinese reception staff to the Germans. After the guests and hosts exchanged greetings, an hour passed unknowingly.
The motorcade then left the airport and drove grandly to the Don River Restaurant, the largest Western restaurant in the city, where a unique buffet dinner will be held tonight to welcome guests from Germany. As for the specific cooperation plan with Germany, naturally
It will be resolved in the future. Today is the day for everyone to get to know each other, so it is definitely better to connect emotionally first.
Nothing happened during the dinner, except that An Yi was surprised when he learned that Joseph's daughter was named Audrey Hepburn, but he couldn't figure out whether the little Hepburn was the big Hepburn, or maybe she had the same name.
.
It was already eight o'clock at night when I returned to Xiyuan. I took a hot bath, spent some time with Chu'er and Jieyun, and then went to see my two precious sons. Then I came to the study room. Du Yi, Shen Fengdao and Gong Qian were already there.
Waiting here.
As soon as An Yi sat down, Du Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, that senior brother of yours is really good at doing tricks. No one thought that he would make up as a woman. If he hadn't been able to show a valid identity certificate when registering for accommodation, he would have been arrested by the hotel owner.
Report, we really didn’t know that he had sneaked into the Xu Mansion. Later, in the name of fasting, he sent
He stayed in Dongshan Temple in the north of the Yangtze River and wandered around Xufu City like no one else every day. Fortunately, he was not exposed. You also know what happened later. We didn't expect Han Yu to be so strong. He broke out after just saying a few words. Fortunately, he was not exposed.
Your senior brother has no intention of holding hostages, otherwise Han Yu would be in danger."
An Yi nodded: "My senior brother learned makeup skills when he was in the Blood Flower Theater Club. In the past few years, he has traveled around and become more and more skilled in this skill. It's a pity that he was unlucky and his expertise was not used in the military.
Otherwise, how could the number one general in the Red Army get Lin Biao, who is at the same time as me? Do you think my senior brother came to Xu Mansion just to meet Han Yu and develop an intelligence agent? "
Shen Fengdao analyzed: "Although Han Yu is only a major now, the situation in the art troupe she is in is quite special. She can often have access to our senior officials and some military secrets. If we can really persuade her, it will be like placing a seed in our hearts. A time bomb can grasp the movements of our army at any time. From this point of view, the appearance of your senior brother is understandable. However, I always feel that the top brass of the Red Army should not be so rash. They clearly know that our southern Sichuan is heavily guarded, and even a fly cannot One flew in, and you asked your senior brother to come and take risks, I'm afraid things inside are not simple!"
Gong Qian thought about it for a moment and suddenly asked: "You said that if you were the top brass of the Red Army and faced the murderous attack on the 'comrades' they considered themselves to be, you would not be able to figure out the attitude of our Anjia Army towards the Red Army. What will you do?"
Du Yi blurted out without thinking: "Of course I will send another person to test the reaction..."
At this point, he opened his mouth wide and suddenly realized: "Oh my god, they are testing us. If we do nothing wrong with your senior brother Qiu and respond to his requests, then it will prove that we still sympathize with the Red Army. The severe punishment of Chen Dingyuan is nothing but an infringement of our vital interests. In the future, as long as they control the situation properly, they can still maintain a certain cooperative relationship with us and even get some help from us."
An Yi nodded in relief: "So that's it... But he is too cruel to his comrades. I don't know if they have thought about it. If I really become disowned, what will happen to my senior brother... Alas!" An Yi He sighed deeply.
Gong Qian comforted: "I think the higher-ups have thought about this. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party know your friendship with your Huangpu brothers. Are there not many Communists who have been rescued by you over the years? Even if you No matter how ruthless you are, you won't be able to attack Chen Geng. The person who arranged and formulated this plan has already seen your weakness, so he made such a plan and arrangement based on this."
Du Yi shook his head: "They have a third purpose, but this purpose is based on the second point. If you really sympathize with the Red Army, then they can get urgently needed guns, ammunition and medicines from the Syrian government." , can help the Red Army recover quickly, wasn’t that what we did when we were in old Nanchang?”
An Yi sighed: "It seems that I can't give my senior brother a satisfactory answer this time. I don't have any guns and ammunition. But from a humanitarian standpoint, I can support some emergency medicines. Don't even think about anything else. Now Japan People are sharpening their swords in North China, and it is estimated that the war will come in two or three years at most. We are in urgent need of time to develop, and the best way is to send the Red Army out of our territory as gifts!"
An Anyi stood up and said to Gong Qian and Du Yi: "You go back first. I will go see my senior brother and ask him to go back early so that the CCP can make a decision as soon as possible."
