Song Meiling stopped, wiped her eyes in disbelief, and found that she had read correctly. She quickly pointed to the two people on the other side, turned to Song Ailing and said in surprise:
"Second sister, look, it's my brother and Xiao Yi who are taking a walk. They came back last night and hid alone in the west wing muttering. I still vaguely heard their bickering in the middle of the night, and I thought they wouldn't start a fight.
, I didn’t expect the two of them to go out for a walk early as if nothing was wrong now, I really can’t see through them.”
Song Ailing was also surprised. She put up a pergola with her hands and looked at the other side: "Yeah, it's true. It seems that Yongzhi is right. They are indeed a dog and a cat. They can't live without each other! Hey... do you think Xiaoyi will agree to cooperate?
Currency reform from the central government?”
"I guess he agreed. Based on my understanding of Xiao Yi, he will not refuse. At most, he will make some modest demands for the benefit of his own group. He can still distinguish clearly which ones are more important. If he refuses categorically
"How come my brother is walking side by side with him so leisurely?" Song Meiling smiled happily.
After thinking about it, Song Ailing thought that it was indeed the case, and nodded: "It seems that you were right, but Xiaoyi probably won't make any concessions on taxation. I remember when we came back yesterday and sat in the main hall to drink tea, I asked Xiaoyi
On the way into the city from the airport in the afternoon, I encountered a long convoy of military trucks heading north. Why were they all covered with thick tarpaulins? What was inside? This guy actually giggled and tried to fool me.
When he was pressed, he said that the butts were processed by the Yunnan Woodwork Factory and the special steel purchased from Annan. Finally, when he was forced to do so, he said that there were also some new aircraft engines imported from the United States, but he didn't know the exact number.
We can only say that they were all transported to various military industrial enterprises in Syria for strategic reserve. From this, it seems that the Yunnan-Vietnam trade route is far more prosperous than we imagined, and the trade volume is also larger."
Song Meiling smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Yes! Although we all know that Yunnan-Vietnam border trade accounts for an increasing proportion of the national economy, no one can do anything about Xiaoyi. The economic miracles of southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan
It was created by him. If he hadn't spent huge sums of money on development, how could we have such a prosperous scene today, let alone collect taxes here?
"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel aggrieved for Xiao Yi, but seeing the loss of tax revenue here getting bigger and bigger, and the government's fiscal deficit getting higher and higher, I can't help but be anxious, but what can I do?
What? Whether it is political, military or economic, the entire southwest region has been integrated into one, and the whole body can be affected by one move! Especially this time after Wang Zhaoming and his gang pissed him off, Xiao Yi not only immediately retaliated tit for tat, but also
In many aspects, it has become more and more unscrupulous. Now even Shi Zhen in western Guizhou follows his lead. Following Xiangxi, he drives all the central agencies out of the territory of western Guizhou and refuses to take up the post of deputy governor of Guizhou Province. This is a headache for Zhongzheng
!
"Sister, I tell you something, but you are not allowed to tell it. Since the Guangdong and Guangxi saw the crisis in North China and the urgent situation of suppressing bandits in the northwest, all the main forces of the Central Army were transferred to North China, the northwest and to guard the Beijing-Shanghai area, resulting in the border between Jiangxi and Hunan.
When their troops were empty, they began to chant slogans of going north to fight against Japan, testing the direction of the wind. Secretly, their ambitions were expanding and ready to move. It is worrying if it continues to develop! The intelligence officers placed by Li Delin from the Military Command Bureau sent back emergency reports from time to time. There is one piece of news that I still remember.
Xin and Xiaoyi's large transport planes frequently flew to Liuzhou Airport in the past two months, unloaded boxes of weapons and ammunition, and returned loaded with opium and tobacco. It was said that they were transported back to southern Yunnan to be made into heroin and sold to Europe and the United States.
"The central government just issued a ban on smoking in July, but Xiaoyi has developed to using airplanes to smuggle cigarettes. I really don't know how much money he has made in this business in the past few years, and how much stamina he has accumulated. It is scary to think about it.
!With Xiaoyi’s current strength, if he intends to rebel, no one can stop him, even Zhongzheng is quite afraid of him. Fortunately, Xiaoyi understands the righteousness and cares about the party and the country, otherwise I really don’t know what to do!”
Song Ailing was stunned for a long time. Seeing that her little sister's face was serious and she didn't seem to be joking, she thought about it carefully but sighed and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, Xiaoyi will not rebel. Your brother-in-law is convinced of this. I
When he worriedly asked about this several times, he said that my worries were unfounded. He also said that if Xiao Yi wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago, so why would he need it today? Xiao Yi sent the most elite troops under his command to North China to relieve the country's worries at his own expense.
, and generously donated money during this major flood, relieving your brother-in-law, the director of the disaster relief committee, of a huge financial burden and responsibility. So, anyone can rebel, but Xiao Yi will not rebel, and it is precisely because of him,
It took only two months for Jieshi to complete the reorganization and reorganization of the Sichuan army, solve in one fell swoop the huge problems that had been unsolvable for many years, and successfully bring Sichuan under the jurisdiction of the central government. From this aspect, Xiaoyi is not only nothing
If you are wrong, you will take the most credit."
"Yes! Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek continues to believe in him and plans to approve his appointment as director of the Appeasement Office of the Syrian government at the upcoming Central Committee Plenary Session. He will also be compensated for his military position so that he can lead the troops legitimately. At the same time, he will also
Tie down the lawless western Hunan and western Guizhou, and then solve the final problem of army reorganization in the southwest." Song Meiling said rather helplessly.
Song Ailing asked with concern: "Why didn't you tell Xiao Yiming these words? To avoid mutual suspicion and miss the big deal."
Song Meiling smiled slightly and pulled her sister forward: "Needless to say, in the short time we got together here, I saw from Xiao Yi's leisurely and calm demeanor that he no longer cares about fame and fortune, and he knows very well that right now,
The ones who are anxious are Jieshi and the central government. He is not anxious at all. Looking at it from another angle, if I were him, I would be like this. The worst is this bad. How much worse can it be? It just allows me to vent what I have done in the past few years.
I felt so useless, and everyone could only watch me lose my temper, but they didn't dare to say a word.
"From this point of view, Xiaoyi is already very mature, and he is worryingly calm and scary. As for the second China Southwest Commodity Expo to be held on the 11th of next month, he is going to Europe and the United States in August.
Business organizations from various countries and several major multinational companies issued invitations, and the news was grandly published in major newspapers in Europe and the United States, along with the development situation of southern Sichuan, announcing the upcoming global bidding for hydropower stations, chemical industry, Huili Mining, etc.
Thirty-two large-scale projects, and the geological survey situation and mineral distribution map of the Sichuan-Yunnan border area that was completed in the first half of the year were openly announced, which aroused enthusiastic responses from European and American countries. In early August, he left North China in anger and has been with the central government ever since.
Even though he had a grudge, under such circumstances, he could still calmly wait for the Second Southwest Commodity Expo to be held. With such a mentality and self-confidence, such foresight and control, who in the country can match it? Tell me,
Isn’t such a person scary?”
Song Ailing was completely stunned: "Oh my god! Listening to what you said, I also think this guy is scary. He is too scheming at a young age, right? But his appearance always makes people trustworthy and practical!"
Song Meiling shook her head and smiled: "Have you forgotten the nickname 'Smiling Tiger' given to him by the military and political leaders? But you are right to say that he is down-to-earth. It is precisely because of Xiaoyi's concern for the country and the people and his noble character of putting the interests of the country and the nation first.
It made me feel at ease. Zhongzheng said the same thing. What annoyed me was An Yi's seemingly childish but scheming revenge. Xiaoyi's love and hatred are too clear-cut, which often makes Zhongzheng lose his room for maneuver, but it makes him better.
He is an outstanding general, but his only flaw is that he does not have enough experience, which may be related to his age."
"So, my brother-in-law plans to use him again?" Song Ailing asked.
Song Meiling shook her head: "It's difficult! I'm afraid he won't care if he is reused again. This is also the biggest worry for me and Zhongzheng!"
Song Ailing sighed and couldn't help but look at An Yi on the other side, only to find that An Yi and Song Ziwen were crossing the river with shoes in their hands, stepping on the clear waves of the water. She suddenly raised her hands in surprise and shouted: "What's going on?
What? Are you really good at floating on water?"
Song Meiling quickly looked around, and couldn't help but smile after seeing clearly: "What's floating on the water? It's a pontoon built under the water. You can understand it by looking at the huge iron chains on both sides. The engineers of the Anjia Army are really powerful, no wonder the engineers of the Military Commission
The school has always been overwhelmed by the engineering and soldier major of the Military Academy."
Song Ailing took a closer look and suddenly realized.
After a while, An Yi and Song Ziwen came ashore barefoot, took the towels handed by the guards, wiped their feet and put on their shoes, and then walked briskly to the Song sisters to say hello.
After chatting for a while, An Yi asked: "What are the plans of my wife and godmother today? Do I need to go somewhere to see them?"
Song Meiling said with a smile: "I won't go shopping in Simao and several counties near and far. I heard that the Jiangwan Treaty Port in Jiangcheng is not far away. Can you take us to visit it?"
An Yi immediately turned his head and looked at Song Ziwen: "What's your idea?"
"So what? You kid, I won't hold you accountable for tax evasion. Why don't you just go and take a look?" Song Ziwen replied angrily.
An Yi thought for a while and said solemnly: "Master's wife, godmother, you can go, but you must agree to my request!"
The Song brothers and sisters were surprised. Seeing An Yi being so serious, they nodded in unison.
Song Ailing asked curiously: "What confidential matters need to be so solemn?"
An Yi replied in a low voice: "They are twelve medium-sized tanks produced by the French Renault Company. Although they have been dismantled, they are extremely confidential. There are also four large military pontoon vehicles imported from Germany. They are the most exported vehicles that the Germans strictly prohibit.
The value of advanced military engineering machinery is definitely not less than that of twelve tanks. These equipment are related to our national defense industry and the construction of mechanized troops, and are highly classified military secrets. The entire road was closed two hours ago, and three brigades were guarded.
The troops are on alert along the way, can I not be cautious?"
Song Ziwen took a breath. He knew how valuable these things were and how many highly confidential exchanges of interests were involved.
Although Song Meiling didn't know much about these things, she still nodded solemnly in agreement.
Only Song Ailing asked in surprise: How much is such an advanced thing worth? This made An Yi roll his eyes.
