An Yi changed his clothes, finished dressing, and immediately called Chiang Kai-shek to say goodbye. Then, under the escort of the guards at Nanjing Station, An Yi and the guards rushed to Nanjing Airport. At this time, the Marshal's plane just took off, and Song Ziwen Chen Lifu, Gu Zhenglun and the others were all still standing on the tarmac. When they saw An Yi's motorcade arriving, they hurriedly came forward to greet them.
An Yi ordered Shen Fengdao to send guards to stop several Central News Agency reporters who were running over. He came forward to greet Song Ziwen and others. After saying hello, he asked the three of them very dissatisfiedly:
"Brothers, why do you ask the young marshal to make a statement at this time? Didn't you say enough at the press conference held after the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission yesterday afternoon?"
Song Ziwen shared the same hatred and looked angrily at Chen Lifu, who was presiding over the matter. Gu Zhenglun chuckled and quarreled, trying to reconcile. Chen Lifu's face turned red and he explained in a low voice with embarrassment: "Brother An, this is the commission. There's nothing Brother Yu can do about the direct order! No, I brought Ziwen over to keep me company just to dispel the Young Marshal's resistance."
An Yi shook his head repeatedly: "This is a mistake! The young marshal has had contact with the Communist Party, but it is normal for the two armies to fight and send envoys to test each other. I don't understand why the committee always keeps it in mind. , the party headquarters is also always holding on to it? My younger brother, who is in charge of the overall situation in North China, has also had contact with representatives of the Communist Party of China? As far as I know, in the past two months, the envoys sent by Zhou Enlai, the leader of the Communist Party of China, have We met with Brother Zu Yan twice in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Why did we put so much pressure on the young marshal? Aren't we worried that going too far would be too much and driving the young marshal and the Northeast Army into the other side's camp?"
Chen Lifu felt quite uncomfortable and didn't know how to answer An Yi, who was not afraid of anything.
Seeing this, Gu Zhenglun had no choice but to step forward and smooth things over: "Brother An, please don't blame Brother Zu Yan wrongly. This is a decision handed down by the committee and made after collective discussion by the party headquarters. The committee also personally signed and approved it. It can be seen that There is nothing Brother Zu Yan can do about taking this matter seriously! Haha, brothers, please calm down and understand each other and everything will be fine."
An Yi sighed and said nothing. Song Ziwen, who had been silent before, snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"In fact, it is not Han Qing who needs to express his position the most, but Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan and others in North China. Why doesn't the party headquarters send reporters to interview them on the spot? The entire party organization in North China is not worried about being kicked out, but it is not worried about those stationed in the northwest. The Northeast Army is worried, I really don’t know how the party headquarters does its work, hum!”
After Song Ziwen finished speaking, he waved his hand at An Yi and left angrily. Gu Zhenglun saw this and said goodbye, leaving Chen Lifu with a wry smile to face An Yi alone.
An Yi shook his head, leaned close to Chen Lifu and whispered: "Brother Zu Yan, the Japanese people in Shanghai and Wuhan have been very stupid recently. Officials from the embassy and consulates have frequently visited our local officials at all levels and gang leaders. Although they have tried their best to win over and seduce, Brother Zhao Rui and Brother Yu Nong don’t dare to offend those local officials. They can only rely on you. You, the Central Party Committee, have to pay more attention to it. I can help with other things, but these are the only things. If you can't get involved, you won't be able to help even if you want to."
Chen Lifu reached out his hand gratefully, grabbed An Yi's extended hand and squeezed it tightly: "Don't worry, Brother Yu has already made up his mind. If it doesn't work... I'll kill him as a warning to others!"
An Yi saw Chen Lifu clenching his teeth and a flash of light in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "If there is any need, brother, go directly to my senior brother Zhao, and the fourth hall will give you full support."
"Thank you in advance, Brother Yu!"
Chen Lifu's face returned to his usual elegant smile, and he warned: "Brother Xiu, please pay more attention to the changes in the political situation when you arrive in North China. Brother Cixiu will come back from Guangdong and Guangxi in a few days, and he will probably rush to Baoding to discuss things with you.
matter.
"Also, according to the latest intelligence we have obtained, General Baichuan was frightened by the Japanese Red Army's attack on all sides to expand his base area near Shanxi. He actually flirted with the Japanese and tried to join forces to curb the expansion of the Red Army. The committee and we are worried about Shanxi.
The Sui Army got involved with the Japanese, which affected Fu Zuoyi's attack on the puppet-Mongolian armed forces... Here is a document that the principal ordered Brother Yu to hand over to you."
After Chen Lifu finished speaking, he turned around and took the document from his secretary and handed it to An Yi. An Yi took it and glanced at the cover. He was very surprised. He quickly opened it and read it roughly. He quickly closed the document and wrinkled it.
He asked with an eyebrow: "It turns out that the elder brother stayed here to wait for the younger brother on purpose... Doesn't this want the younger brother to start a war of words?"
"War of words? Haha! That's interesting, yes! The duel on the battlefield is actually a way of fighting. The committee member said, this time it's up to you, An Yi, to say whatever you like, no matter who doesn't like it.
You can scold whoever you want. You must not let the Communists and those in the North China Government Affairs Commission carry out the conspiracy of self-government and independence under the guise of economic support. If you can destroy their so-called cooperation, then feel free and bold to destroy it as much as possible, Chairman.
The central government and the central government are your strong backing." Chen Lifu said with a smile.
An Yi couldn't help being happy: "Haha, isn't this just a curse? OK! When it comes to construction, I can't guarantee that it will be done well, but if it comes to destruction, it will be much easier. Don't blame me then.
Talking freely will get you into trouble."
"Don't worry and scold them boldly. Our party headquarters will not accept complaints in this area. If they want to make trouble, they should go to the chairman and see if the committee members will look good on them! Haha!" Chen Lifu shouted loudly.
He laughed, patted An Yi on the shoulder at the end, joked a few words and left.
An Yi watched Chen Lifu's car drive away, then looked at the cover of the document in his hand with the party flag printed on it, sighed quietly, and walked to his special plane.
…
The political situation in North China has deteriorated sharply, as Chen Lifu feared.
The North China Government Affairs Committee with Song Zheyuan as the core, after four meetings with the Communist Party, finally officially signed the "Economic Cooperation Plan", announcing that it will soon begin to develop closer relations between North China and Manchuria, North Korea and the Japanese mainland.
For economic cooperation, there are four most important planned projects:
Introducing Japanese technology and funds to build the Cangshi Railway, authorizing Japanese companies to develop Longyan iron ore, promoting cotton planting throughout Hebei, and the North China authorities and Japan jointly established a Sino-Japanese joint venture bank.
After the announcement was made, it caused violent shocks from all walks of life in North China. People in the business community strongly opposed the agreement. Representatives of the educational academic community in Peking, such as Xu Bingchang, Gu Jiegang, and Li Jinxi, jointly issued a declaration on the current situation, demanding that the North China government and the Nanjing central government do not lose their territory and do not lose their territory.
Under the principle of humiliating sovereignty, we have strict diplomatic relations with Japan.
In relation to this, it is stated that the educational circles and intellectual circles in North China strongly oppose the special administrative organization established under the pressure of the Communists, oppose any special status enjoyed by the Communist Party in North China, oppose the development of North China's resources by outside forces, and call on the government to use force to stop smuggling and suppress smuggling.
The Suidong bandits were supported by the Japanese who defeated Shu Dian and forgot their ancestors.
On October 18, Central Military Commissioner An Yi, who had been keeping a low profile since being stationed in North China, suddenly held a press conference in Shijiazhuang. In front of hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters, he stated categorically:
"As long as I, An Yi, am still in this position, I will never allow any foreign forces, organizations, or forces to carry out any form of economic development in the defense areas stationed by the Central Military Commission.
Approved groups and individuals who dare to conduct surveying, mining, smuggling and illegal transactions within the defense areas under the jurisdiction of our Central Military Forces will be subject to the most severe punishment!"
An Yi's speech was published by major newspapers across the country and immediately won the support of the military and civilians of North China and countless patriotic intellectuals. The worried representatives of the business, educational and intellectual circles in North China were immediately overjoyed and issued declarations one after another to strongly support An Yi's *
** decided to praise An Yi for his far-sightedness and extraordinary view of the overall situation, and praise An Jiajun for his patriotism and mainstay role.
The patriotic youths and students who besieged the military camp after the Chinese Communist Army's military exercise last month have already dispersed. About 6,000 of them have passed the Anjiajun review and are heading south to Xufu. They will go to southern Yunnan after a short training.
Became a teacher in the newly built primary and secondary schools. This time An Yi’s statement once again aroused the patriotic
With the enthusiasm of the students to serve the country, tens of thousands of people flocked to the headquarters of the Seventeenth Army, demanding to join the army and go south to work immediately. An Yi accepted all comers and accepted them as long as they passed the political review. The Sino-Japanese War was about to break out. He wanted to save one more person.
Talent is one, and we can no longer care whether it will affect the normal operation of major universities.
Song Zheyuan, Qi Xieyuan, Qin Dechun and other North China military and political officials did not expect that An Yi, who had never cared about the Communist Party, would suddenly make such a move. In desperation, they immediately called An Yi and asked to meet with him for a detailed discussion. An Yi said that he was busy with military affairs and needed it.
He declined politely on the grounds of inspection at the grassroots level.
As a representative of the peace faction during this period, An Yi had focused on understanding the situation of all members of the North China Political Affairs Commission, including Qin Dechun and Qi Xieyuan.
Qin Dechun graduated from Baoding Military Academy in 1914 and became a trainee officer of the Fifth Division of the Beiyang New Army stationed in Jinan. He successively served as deputy and chief of staff of the Fifth Army Division, brigade commander and division commander of the 24th Division, and the Second Front Army of the Second Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the 23rd Army, 14th Army
Commander, deputy chief of staff of the General Headquarters. After the Central Plains War in 1930, he was transferred to Zhang Xueliang as counselor of the General Headquarters and general counselor of the 29th Army. In 1932, he was appointed member of the Chahar Provincial Government and Director of the Civil Affairs Department. Last year, he met with Japanese Army Representative Doi
Hara Kenji signed the "Qin Tu Agreement" of Japan.
Qi Xieyuan graduated from the third phase of the Army University in 1913. Because he was good at maneuvering in camps, he quickly rose from a small platoon leader in the Beiyang Army to the governor of Jiangsu in just four years. Later, Feng Yuxiang launched the Kuomintang coup.
, Cao Kun was imprisoned, Wu Peifu fled, Qi Xieyuan refused to acknowledge the order issued by Feng Yuxiang, and was dismissed by Duan Qirui. In 1925, Qi Xieyuan commanded the Sixth and Nineteenth Divisions stationed in Shanghai, expelled the division commander, and Qi Xieyuan appointed himself
Commander-in-Chief of the First Route of the Zhejiang-Shanghai Allied Forces. After the defeat in the same month, Qi Xieyuan fled to Jiangxi. In November of the same year, Qi Xieyuan was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the 14th Province Allied Forces in Hankou. In 1930, Yan Xishan appointed Qi Xieyuan as Jiang
When the Yan army failed in the Central Plains War, Qi Xieyuan settled in Peiping. In the past two years, Qi Xieyuan received strong support from the Communists and became active in the political circles of North China again, becoming a member of the North China Political Affairs Committee.
Qi Xieyuan has experienced the cunning nature of officials and realized that the identity of military commissioner An Yi has become more and more important in North China's political situation. He seems to have received strong support or instructions from certain decision-making departments of the central government. Otherwise, he has always taken a tough stance on the military.
However, An Yi, who does not care about political, economic and other issues of various political factions in North China, is unlikely to suddenly get involved in North China's political and economic decision-making. The "North China Autonomy" pursued by Qi Xieyuan and his allies is very likely to be tough on An Yi.
