At 11:40 a.m. on October 8, the colorful flags at Xufu Airport were flying and the flags were swaying. The generals led by Anjia Army Headquarters Chief of Staff Ye Cheng and Jiang Defense Commander Li Guang put on neat uniforms. Jiang Yunshan and Dong Fuchuan
, Qi Shengqing, Ma Junwu and other government officials and celebrities in the cultural circles stood with smiles on their faces.
On the left side of the army general's school, there is an honor guard composed of three thousand soldiers from the Central Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the Central Air Force Xufu Aviation School, and the Anjia Army Headquarters Guards. They are arranged in a straight line, with bright battle flags fluttering, and the steel guns in the hands of the three thousand soldiers are shining in the autumn sun.
Underneath, the faint blue shines brightly, and the neat bayonet reflects a dazzling light.
"Salute - play music -"
The Boy Scout band played the majestic "Song of Huangpu". Song Ziwen, Director of the National Economic Commission, Song Meiling, Honorary Chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, Song Ailing, Vice Chairman of the Beijing-Shanghai Charity Foundation, and others, accompanied by Ye Cheng and Li Guang, walked slowly
In front of the three thousand soldiers who were being reviewed, who were all moving uniformly as one person, bursts of uncontrollable excitement suddenly surged in their hearts.
When the Song brothers and sisters got off the plane, they were very surprised and moved when they saw thousands of people from all walks of life warmly welcoming them on the wide tarmac. A large banner read "Warmly welcome Director Song Ziwen to come to Xufu to guide the economic work", "
Warmly welcome Chairman Song of the Women's Federation to inspect the resettlement of victims in southern Sichuan", "Thanks to the Charity Fund
Slogans such as "President Song Ailing's concern for the people of southern Sichuan" touched the hearts of the three people. In just one day, the military and political circles in southern Sichuan were able to organize such a warm welcome ceremony and very considerately make everyone's intentions clear.
The three people of the Song family were secretly surprised by such thoughtful, generous and efficient organizational skills.
The majestic guard of honor is particularly shocking. Whether it is military equipment or mental outlook, the spirit and discipline shown are far beyond the honor guard of the three services used to decorate the appearance of the Nanjing National Government and the Military Commission. Even the Boy Scout band
The performance level is far above that of the Central Military Band.
***The grand welcome ceremony ended, and the motorcade that welcomed Song Ziwen and his entourage, led by the police motorcycle team, slowly drove out of the airport and into the city.
As the motorcade passed by, pedestrians on both sides of the garden-like city avenue consciously stopped and waved. The banners hanging above the road were all filled with warm greetings and warm words of welcome. The hearts of Song Ziwen and the Song sisters in the car were filled with excitement.
, sighing frequently, Song Ziwen said sincerely:
"There is no place in China that can compare with Xufu! Now I finally understand An Yi's mood. If others come to steal such fruitful construction results that have been achieved through hard work for many years, I will also fight back angrily!"
The motorcade drove into the government compound amidst the cheers of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Ye Cheng, Jiang Xianyun and other civil and military officials got off the bus in advance and lined up to wait. Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun held their children in their arms and stood in front of the main hall door eagerly waiting.
Gong Qian, Ye Qing, Han Yu and others, wearing navy blue dark flower cheongsam, waved to sisters Song Ziwen and Song Meiling who got out of the car.
After the guests and hosts greeted each other, they entered the hall happily. Song Meiling and Song Ailing walked towards Feng Jieyun and Ou Chuer respectively, took the children in their arms, and looked at them lovingly.
Chu'er's son rolled his eyes and laughed happily when he saw Song Ailing's kind-hearted look. Feng Jieyun's son was much younger. He was obviously frightened when he suddenly saw so many people surrounding him.
As soon as I flattened it, I cried out "Wow", triggering bursts of hearty laughter.
Ye Cheng and Jiang Xianyun made the welcome lunch lively and lively. The dishes were all ordinary things such as lung slices, diced chicken, twice-cooked pork, tofu fish, etc. They were delicious and refreshing, exquisite but not luxurious. Representatives from all walks of life who attended the banquet,
Polite greetings were given to the three members of the Song family one by one. Dong Fuchuan delivered a warm welcome speech, and Song Ziwen delivered a speech of thanks on behalf of the guests amidst warm applause. The luncheon began grandly.
After lunch, it was already 1:40 noon. At the request of the guests, the civil and military officials of southern Sichuan sent the guests to stay in Xiyuan at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, and then they said goodbye to each other.
The main hall of Xiyuan was bustling with activity. The three members of the Song family gathered around a group of little ones from An Yi's family. They were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. Soong Meiling picked up Gong Qian's child and lovingly asked her name. The child replied generously: "
Beautiful aunt, my name is Gong Ming, and my surname is my mother’s.”
"Wow, your mouth is so sweet! This child doesn't know how to be born at all, he is so smart, and he looks like you." Song Meiling praised Gong Qian with a smile, handed the child to Wu's mother, and took Gong Qian's hand.
, and sat on the sofa together: "Sister, it's really hard for you. Everyone is reluctant to leave the Central Party Headquarters! The seniors sigh when they talk about you... How are you doing recently?"
Gong Qian replied with a smile: "Fortunately, I am a little busy, but my life is very fulfilling. It is not like when I was at the Central Party Headquarters, I felt lifeless. The people here are harmonious and everything is full of life, little sister
The responsible scientific research and education department has many celebrities and talented people. Everyone is dedicated to their work, and their mental outlook and academic style are very different. I am very proud of the fruitful results in the past two years, and my little sister is in a very happy mood."
Song Meiling held Gong Qian's hand and patted it gently: "I envy you! Xiaoyi has a sister like you to help him manage the house. It is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes."
Gong Qian chuckled and pointed at Chu'er: "Where is the big housekeeper? Sister Chu'er is now in charge of an enterprise group with assets worth hundreds of millions. She is much more powerful than the younger sister. There is also sister Yun'er, she is now famous in the country.
A writer and a playwright, both
Her works were made into movies, which won praises from all over the country. Major theater companies in Shanghai and southern Sichuan are performing her plays. Publishers from all over the country are chasing her to sign contracts. If her children are still young and need to be distracted, she has two new works on hand.
It’s been out a long time ago.”
Song Meiling was very happy. Regardless of whether Gong Qian's title confused her seniority, she happily chatted with everyone for a while. When she saw Song Ziwen, Ye Cheng and other generals walking out of the gate and into the yard for a walk, she also took Gong Qian's hand and walked outside.
, asked in a low voice while walking:
"Why are there so many children at home? Where did the child that Yun'er took in to breastfeed just now come from?"
Gong Qian didn't know the child's true origin, so she didn't deliberately hide it from Soong Meiling: "The child is very pitiful. His father was Xiaoyi's old friend, but unfortunately he is no longer there. The child's mother abandoned the newborn child and disappeared.
Yi Zai is a very accidental
When Xiaoyi learned about this incident, he sent people to the countryside to find her and raised her as her own child. Yun'er loved this little girl very much and treated her like her own mother. When Xiaoyi was at home, he spent more time holding the girl than
It’s even more important to hold the other two sons, haha!”
Song Meiling was very moved: "Xiao Yi is a real man! There are not many people in the world who value love and righteousness so much. This is why I like Xiao Yi and feel very reassured about him. Unfortunately, this time the central government was too reckless and put Xiao Yi's
My heart is broken. As soon as I lay down during this period, I feel sorry for Xiao Yi and I am so ashamed that I could not help him in time!"
"Madam, please don't say that. Xiao Yi has no intention of blaming you or the Chairman at all. He called me from Simao late last night to inquire about my preparations for the reception and repeatedly emphasized the caliber and attention of the propaganda.
Finally, I was asked to ask about the itinerary plan of Minister Song and his wife, and everything was covered in detail. It can be seen that the wife plays a very important role in Xiaoyi's heart. He has never asked about all the reception work in the past." Gong Qian.
Answer with a smile.
Song Meiling smiled with satisfaction. Something suddenly occurred to her. She stopped and asked in surprise: "You just said that Xiaoyi called back from Simao. Could it be that there was a phone call between southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan?"
"Yes, long-distance calls will be officially launched on the 1st of this month. Telephone calls have been available along the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan Railway for a long time. If it weren't for the bus connection between Xiangxi and Kunming that would take some time, southern Sichuan, western Hunan, western Guizhou, southern Yunnan and Kunming would
A long-distance telephone network can be formed. According to the current progress, all these areas will be debugged and officially connected by New Year's Day next year at the latest.
"Today, in Xufu and Luzhou cities, ordinary teachers, doctors, businessmen and government workers can easily install home phones, and the installation fee is less than fifteen yuan. Only in the urban area of Xufu and the four suburban towns, three
More than 2,400 Taiwanese units have been added in the past month
If so, it seems that the number of telephones in Xufu will exceed 8,000 by the end of the year. The telephone numbers in southern Sichuan have been six-digit numbers from the beginning. Compared with the five-digit telephone numbers in Nanjing and Shanghai, the capacity is larger, and
More forward-looking." Gong Qian introduced the situation in detail.
Song Meiling was speechless. She was silent for a long time before sighing and praising her sincerely: "The development of southern Sichuan is indeed changing at a rapid pace. Now even the telephone is at the forefront of the country... No wonder Ziwen sighed frequently along the way. Even a well-informed person like him
Everyone was moved. Xiaoyi is amazing, and your officials here are amazing!"
Gong Qian smiled humbly: "Xiao Yi always praised the experts and scholars from various universities and research institutions for their greatness, and praised the people and workers for their greatness. Last time he came back, he got up for morning exercises on the first day and ran outside to see street sweepers.
A municipal worker, he stopped to pick up a broom and worked with the master worker.
While working, I asked about the workers' family and living conditions. I saw that the shoes on the workers' feet were all torn, and I quickly asked what was going on. The workers said that it was good that the government distributed two pairs of shoes every year. But Xiaoyi said no.
You walk no less than ten kilometers every day and pull a car, so it’s normal for your shoes to get damaged quickly.
, the Municipal Council should consider sending more information. Xiaoyi's thoughtfulness and approachability moved several municipal workers to tears. Instead, he apologized to them, saying that he had caused trouble to the masters, and did not allow the publicity department to report the matter afterwards. For two hours
Later, the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and the municipal director approached Xiaoyi for an in-depth investigation.
After careful review, Xiao Yi did not scold them, but started a discussion with them calmly. As a result, the municipal government and the parliament quickly held a meeting to reward outstanding employees, doubled the welfare benefits of municipal workers, and the entire Xufu society
The atmosphere has changed and no one looks down on street sweepers anymore."
Song Meiling was so moved that her eyes moistened, she nodded frequently, and was speechless for a moment. An Yi brought her so much shock and emotion that her love and gratitude for An Yi became deeper and deeper.
Seeing this, Gong Qian quickly changed the subject: "Sister, last night, Mr. Jiang Zuobin, the Ambassador to Japan, sent back a document to the central government, conveying three requests for the *** government, and we need to respond immediately, Sister
Do you know this?"
Song Meiling was very surprised: "I don't know! I was busy preparing for the itinerary last night and didn't pay attention to diplomatic matters at all... I wonder what the three requirements are? How did you learn about them?"
"It was Xiaoyi who asked me to ask the eldest sister through a secret message. It is estimated that the intelligence and technology department of the headquarters accidentally received the signal and successfully deciphered it. You need to ask Xiaoyi to know the specific situation. The *** government calls the three requirements
There are three principles for cooperation between China and Japan: first, stop antagonizing Japan; second, acquiesce in Manchukuo; third, prevent redness.
"My younger sister was very worried when she saw it. Our central government diplomats were always in trouble. Tang Youren, who was the Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Nationalist Government during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, was suspected of leaking secrets. Wang Kemin and Yin Rugeng were suspected of leaking secrets during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
He was also suspected of leaking military aircraft, which caused huge losses to us.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence against them so far, such people still openly remain in important positions in the central government. Not to mention the huge negative impact caused, the hidden dangers are endless!"
Gong Qian, who is in charge of intelligence, is very aware of this matter, but in order to hide and avoid danger, she puts all the problems on An Yi. An Yi has the dual intelligence support of the Fourth Department and the military commander, so he will not attract the suspicion of outsiders.
Song Meiling looked extremely solemn: "If this is the content, it is probably very possible. This is the goal that the *** government has been trying to achieve by any means for several months. The strange thing is that before Jiang Zuobin went to Japan, he went to Chengdu to meet with the chairman and members of the National Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The governor clearly told him that anything that harmed the unity and sovereignty of the country must be resolutely rejected. How could he still make these unreasonable demands?
Send it back? Don’t you even have the basic integrity? It seems that your worries are not unreasonable. Several bad leaks in the past few years have finally been ignored. It is really time to curb this unhealthy trend! It seems that I
I have to remind the chairman of the committee to find out how to verify it. As long as we find a typical example, we can kill others and put an end to this kind of evil behavior as much as possible."
Gong Qian was very emotional: "It is the luck of the country and the nation to have the help of my eldest sister! Xiaoyi has also said to the generals in private many times that in today's China, only the chairman has the ability to lead all the forces in the country, safeguard the unity of the country, and declare the will of the country.
, requiring military generals to first correct their attitudes ideologically, raise awareness, put the interests of the country and the nation first, support the leadership of the Chairman, and maintain the authority of the Chairman. Even if there is something they do not understand, they must keep in mind the bounden duty of soldiers.
"
"Did Xiaoyi really say that?" Song Meiling's voice trembled slightly.
Gong Qian nodded heavily: "That's really what I said, and it happened more than once. Although some generals in the army have extreme personalities, they can all understand this well."
Song Meiling finally felt relieved: "That's good, that's good! It seems that I came back at the right time. Xiaoyi and his principal are far from having as many conflicts as others imagined. Everything is based on the interests of the country and the nation.
, although the means are different, the goals are the same. As long as we have the same goal, there is no misunderstanding that cannot be explained, and there is no difference that cannot be bridged. I am very happy."
Gong Qian nodded again and asked an unexpected question from Soong Meiling: "At eight o'clock this morning, the Communist Party of China announced an important news on the China broadcast. The Communist Party of China cabinet passed a new policy towards China. The content is to 'promote a comprehensive Sino-Japanese policy'."
Promote and encourage China to become self-reliant, establish the Xingzhong Company, which mainly focuses on Manchuria Railway, as China's economic survey and investment agency, promote the construction of the Cangshi Railway, assist Shanxi coal mines, Henan cotton industry, investigate the Liangguang Road Mine, etc.
"This news is very covert. At first glance, it seems to be the conscience of the Japanese people. They want to help us develop the economy, but in fact it involves national territorial security issues, especially aiding the Shanxi coal mines and investigating the Liangguang Road Mine. It is absolutely
We can’t let the *** succeed! I remember that Xiao Yi once took out the Japanese maps captured in Liaodong and the survey and mapping of the General Staff Headquarters at a high-level military meeting.
Comparing the maps, the military and political officials solemnly warned me: Why are the Japanese army's maps more detailed than our military maps? Even a well in a small village is marked? Where did the Japanese army get such detailed and accurate maps?
What is the accuracy of surveying and mapping? Since then, no foreigners or institutions have been allowed to conduct exploration and mapping in the entire three southwestern provinces in the areas under our control.
"My little sister now shudders when she thinks about it. If the central government once again satisfies the Communist Party's conspiracy under the guise of economic support, there will be endless troubles! What's even more worrying is that Shanxi and Guangxi are not something Xiaoyi can influence.
It would be a bad thing if they secretly reached a cooperation agreement with the *** for their own selfish purposes or were deceived. At this critical moment, they can only rely on the strong influence and majesty of the Chairman!"
Song Meiling didn't take it seriously at first. After listening to Gong Qian's detailed explanation, she realized the seriousness of the problem. She pondered for a long time and decided to report to Chiang Kai-shek tonight. After speaking, she smiled and asked Gong Qian:
"Little sister, why do you think your job is not just responsible for scientific and cultural research? Are you going back to your old job in the Investigation Bureau of the Central Party Headquarters?"
Gong Qian smiled: "The eldest sister is joking. The younger sister didn't want to take care of these things. There are many talents in the military, and there are also specialized analysis and research institutions. They are all experienced senior staff officers who have experienced actual combat. Some of them are still
Studying abroad in Europe and America in recent years
How can the high-tech talents who have returned from Yi have any use for the little sister's bad skills? When Xiaoyi asked the younger sister to tell the elder sister these situations, the younger sister was still reluctant, but Xiaoyi said that the information was extremely important, so he told the principal to tell the elder sister.
The earlier the sooner, the younger sister will convey the truth truthfully."
Song Meiling said angrily: "These things should have been reported by Xiao Yi to his principal. Now they are at odds and want us women to pass it on. Really! When I see An Yi, see if I don't
Give him a good scolding, he actually conveyed such important information in this way, I’m really pissed off!”
"That's right! You deserve to be scolded!"
Gong Qian strongly agrees with Song Meiling's opinion.
Song Meiling immediately became happy, holding Gong Qian's hand and laughing happily.
