On the morning of August 2, Jiang Zuobin, a veteran of the Tongmenghui, who once served as deputy minister of the army and minister to Germany and Austria, and is now minister to Japan, left Chengdu in an old Junkers W33 small transport plane, landed in Hankou to refuel, and then flew to Nanjing. That afternoon.
, Chiang Kai-shek informed the world of his four principles for relations with Japan:
First, China will ignore the Northeast issue for the time being; second, Sino-Japanese relations should be based on equality and abolish all unequal treaties; third, promote Sino-Japanese economic cooperation based on the principle of equality and reciprocity; fourth, on the basis of economic cooperation
to conclude a military agreement.
An Yi responded coldly and showed no reaction to this. The political training officials at the Syrian government base camp politely declined interviews with the swarming Chinese and foreign reporters on the grounds that "General An was still ill." Six copies of the report were sent by the central government and the Central Military Commission.
An Yi did not respond to the emergency meeting notice and refused to meet with the representatives sent by the Military Commission to the Syrian government to ask An Yi to return to Beijing to work.
Wang Jingwei, who returned to Nanjing from Qingdao and took charge of the central government again, heard that An Yi not only refused to give anyone face, but also drove away the three administrative supervision agencies assigned by the Executive Yuan to the Syrian government. He gritted his teeth with hatred and decided to convene a central political meeting as soon as possible.
meeting, in the name of reorganizing the military commission structure, completely deprived An Yi of his staff
Later, on the grounds that the Red Army was far away from southern Sichuan, he revoked Chairman Xu's camp and tried to bring the entire southern Sichuan area back under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province. Of course, as for whether An Yi is willing to hand over power, does anyone dare to go to southern Sichuan?
Taking office is another matter. At least legally, the central government firmly occupies the initiative.
At the Executive Yuan and the enlarged meeting of the military and political affairs, Wang Jingwei was eloquent and reiterated the Sino-Japanese friendship. He spoke with great vigor and brilliance, and seriously criticized An Yi's warlord ideas and authoritarian overreaching. Lin Sen and others on the rostrum were shocked and wanted to
It was too late to stop him. Kong Xiangxi, Vice President and Finance Minister of the Executive Yuan who was sitting next to Wang Jingwei, complained in his heart. Song Ziwen on the other side was angry and sneered frequently.
After the meeting, Wang Jingwei, who had vented his feelings and felt refreshed, just returned to the office. He saw Secretary-General Zeng Zhongming and Confidential Secretary Liu Shoujiang looking melancholy and restless. He quickly asked what was going on? Zeng Zhongming sighed and said nothing, using his hands.
He poked Liu Shoujiang in the back.
Liu Shoujiang had no choice but to step forward and report in a low voice: "Chairman, heavy rains have continued in most areas of the north. The southern and Shandong sections of the Yellow River have burst their banks again. The most serious breach in the Shandong section has widened by more than 200 feet, and the floodwaters are flowing to the southeast.
The city, Juye, and Yutai are rushing, and the affected area is
Rapidly expanding, dozens of counties on both sides of the Yangtze River have become Zeguo; followed by the Jianghuai region, the flood situation is severe and dangerous. The Hankou embankment in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River collapsed for more than 30 meters yesterday, and the number of people affected nationwide has exceeded 10 million! At this time, you... please
Hold off on publicly criticizing An Yi, otherwise..."
"What? Didn't you say yesterday that the water in the Yangtze River was slowing down? Why did the Yellow River... what should we do? What should we do..."
Wang Jingwei was completely stunned. He finally figured out why Lin Sen, Wu Zhihui, Yu Youren, Ju Zheng and others sighed and walked dejectedly at the end of the meeting, and why Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen strode away without even saying hello. But Wang
It was too late for Jingwei to regret it. He knew that many central government officials had deep friendships with An Yi and that An Yi's intelligence agents were everywhere. It would take less than half an hour after the meeting for the content of his speech to be laid out word by word for An Yi.
On Yi's case.
"What should I do? What should I do? Shoujiang, tell me how to make up for it?" Wang Jingwei was anxious.
Liu Shoujiang loosened the disciplinary buckle of the major general's uniform: "Chairman, I feel that it is no longer possible to appoint An Yi as the director of the Disaster Relief Committee in the name of the central government. If my estimate is good, An Yi just got it."
Even the US$130 million cannot be obtained. Under the current circumstances, only one and a half people can influence An Yi."
Wang Jingwei shook his head in annoyance, walked quickly back and forth a few times, and stood in front of Liu Shoujiang again: "Shoujiang, I probably know the person you mentioned. Brother Jieshi, the principal of An Yi, is one, right? The other half is
who?"
"General Zhang Zhizhong, president of the Central Military Academy." Liu Shoujiang replied in a low voice.
Wang Jingwei slapped his forehead: "Ah? Ah! How could I forget this? General Wenbai is An Yi's mentor. The five or six high-end cars at the Central Military Academy were all given by An Yi, including a special bulletproof car.
It was at the level of a state guest, and even our Executive Yuan could only watch helplessly.
"I heard that General Wenbai never spoke to An Yi. Instead, An Yi verbally or wrote to General Wenbai several times, asking if there was anything he could do for him. Hmm! Hmm... So, how about Kong Yongzhi? Yongzhi
The husband and wife are the godparents of Mrs. An Yi, Ou Chuer, so what he says is useless?"
Zeng Zhongming replied: "Chairman, Mr. Yongzhi and An Yi are stakeholders! At this time, Mr. Yongzhi already knows that the chairman wants to punish An Yi severely, so why is he willing to come forward? At this point, we can only settle for the next best thing and let the chairman go to peace in private.
The elders should do their best to give the title of Disaster Relief Director to Mr. Yongzhi, which will save you, Chairman, from running around to appeal. It will also play a role in weakening the strength of the Kong family and Anyi Group through disaster relief.
"Throughout the disasters in the north and south over the past few years, An Yi has never failed to step forward and give out all his money regardless of fame or fortune. This is what his subordinates and colleagues admire most about him. His subordinates believe that no matter how angry An Yi is,
How angry I am, I can’t bear to watch the numbers
Thousands of victims have been displaced and starved, but in the end he will still come forward again. Moreover, as long as Kong Yongzhi is appointed as the director of the National Disaster Relief Committee, Mr. Yongzhi will rush to Xufu to ask his godson for help without the chairman's reminder.
hey-hey!"
Wang Jingwei's worries turned into joy: "Goodbye, Zhong Ming! I'm going to visit Chairman Lin right away. Shoujiang, get ready and accompany me to the Lin Mansion."
"yes……"
Liu Shoujiang nodded in agreement and immediately went out to send a car, but he felt very uncomfortable. Although he was regarded as a traitor by An Jiajun, An Yi had treated him well in the past two years. Instead of blaming him, he treated him with courtesy and encouraged him a lot.
Liu Shoujiang's extremely guilty heart felt much better.
Deep down in his heart, Liu Shoujiang is very grateful to An Yi, and he admires An Yi's character and conduct. Moreover, no matter how weak Liu Shoujiang is, he is a soldier. He has experienced bullets and bullets, and the unique temperament of a soldier will not change because of him.
It completely disappeared with a single thought.
An Yi, who was in the Xufu, was paying close attention to the disaster across the country day and night and was worried, but he knew that this was not the time to come forward. An Yi already understood the tricks of the Wang Jingwei Group. Although he sneered, he did not dare to take it lightly.
After returning from North China, I remembered that Chiang Kai-shek had verbally appointed him as the "General Manager of North China".
With the title of "Commander", An Yi suddenly discovered that before appointing himself the title of Commander-in-Chief of North China, Jiang and Wang should have reached an agreement on the exchange of mutual interests. Otherwise, the Chinese army would never have had the upper hand in North China, and the Japanese
At the critical moment when compromise is about to take place, the situation suddenly takes a turn for the worse.
The harsh reality not only caught An Yi's think tank off guard, but also taught the extremely confident An Yi a real lesson. The dirty and power transactions behind politics are far uglier and more cruel than he imagined.
Regardless of whether Chiang Kai-shek was motivated by the established policy of "reconciling the internal situation before resisting foreign aggression" or from the overall interest of safeguarding the entire Kuomintang ruling regime, An Yi would not forgive him this time. He suffered repeated setbacks and suffered more severe blows each time.
An Yi suddenly realized that he was still too naive and too young at the political level!
Therefore, An Yi silently endured the pain and anger in his heart, raised his head tenaciously, took the overall situation into consideration, and did not let his emotions influence his reason and damage the lofty ideals and beliefs of him and hundreds of thousands of passionate soldiers.
After a brief period of grief and indignation, An Yi strictly ordered the 24th Army led by Gu Changfeng not to retreat even half a step, but to firmly take root in the land of North China. An Yi clearly pointed out in a secret message to Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin: If
Giving up the little advantage that was finally gained in anger would feel much better to the soldiers and soldiers, but it would be a crime for the country and the nation!
This morning, An Yi and Feng Jieyun came to the Army General Hospital again. They walked gently behind Ou Chuer, who was carefully wiping the baby's mouth with a cotton ball on the bed. They looked at the innocent eyes wide open, curiously looking at everything around them.
Children, the two looked at each other and smiled happily.
Chu'er was still concentrating on taking care of the child, lovingly wiping the scabs on the corners of the child's mouth with a moist cotton ball.
The day after the child was rushed to Xu Mansion for treatment by Du Yi's intelligence section chief, Chu'er and Feng Jieyun learned from An Yi's telegram from the North China Front. Although they didn't know why An Yi would treat a
Three-month-old baby girl so concerned
, but still rushed to the hospital with her wife's unconditional support for her husband. When they saw the baby girl who was covered in pimples and almost dying, the two of them were extremely worried and had tears in their eyes. It took a long time to remember to ask Du Yi, who was waiting outside the rescue room, how he was doing.
thing.
Du Yike didn't dare lie to the two commander's wives. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain the reason. He only said that the commander received the dying instructions from an old friend and asked the intelligence bureau to find the child in the Miao village by the Chishui River in western Guizhou.
, from the only note brought back and the kind-hearted Miao people who adopted the child, they learned about the child's life experience and confirmed the child's identity. As for the specific situation, they would have to wait until the commander came back to know, and whispered to the two
lady:
This matter is the highest secret in the military. There are only four people who know about it. Two of them are brother Shi Zhen from Qianxi and Liu Yifang, the intelligence director of the Qianjun. The rest are him and the intelligence section chief who went to western Guizhou alone to complete the mission.
At that time, Liu Yifang mobilized elite soldiers from a company under his command and cooperated with the search for five days before they found it. However, all the officers and soldiers involved in the operation only knew how to help their commander Liu Yifang find a child, and no one knew the child's surname.
After more than ten days of treatment, the child has gradually recovered and started to laugh cutely. He can be discharged from the hospital and go home today.
For more than ten days, no matter how busy she was at work, Chu'er would take time to go to the hospital to take care of her for a few hours every day. Feng Jieyun, who was breastfeeding, breastfed the child without hesitation, and jokingly said that the little girl was so pretty that she might as well become my son's child bride.
