After more than two years of construction, Lushan Airport has become increasingly perfect. The advanced wireless navigation command system has been put into use half a year ago. An Yi's special plane landed smoothly in the night. Four military off-road vehicles produced by Xuzhou quickly drove to the slow landing.
Next to the parked transport plane, An Yi, Chen Cheng and more than a dozen bodyguards were picked up, and they immediately drove out of the airport and headed towards the dark mountains.
In the newly built conference room of the Central Military Commission, the lights are bright. Vice Chairman Feng Yuxiang, Acting Chief of General Staff Cheng Qian, Training Director Tang Shengzhi, military think tank Jiang Baili, Yang Jie and Zhang Zhizhong are sitting on both sides of the oval conference table.
, Chiang Kai-shek, who was at the top of the due north, had a stern look on his face, his lips tightly closed, and he silently listened to the speeches of members of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission and think tanks in turn.
Seeing An Yi and Chen Cheng both entering the venue and raising their hands in salute, Chiang Kai-shek's tense face relaxed a lot. The members of the Military Commission watched politely and waited for Chen Cheng and An Yi to sit down before continuing with the topic.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and the more An Yi listened, the more uncomfortable he became. In particular, Chen Yi, a member of the Military Commission and Governor of Fujian Province, made a compromising speech against Japan, which was recognized by many members.
The reasons put forward by Chen Yi are very representative: First, from the perspective of comprehensive national strength and the current realistic analysis of many wastes waiting to be revitalized, we do not have the ability to confront Japan. At least for a long period of time, we still need to "resist foreigners first."
"Safe within" is the first principle; secondly, judging from the current sudden increase in elite troops and equipment training level of the Japanese army, even if our army has a numerical advantage, it cannot compete with it for a long time. What the *** seeks is nothing more than
To force us to recognize the status quo of the Puppetry of Manchukuo, in an attempt to use strong deterrence to seek greater economic interests in North China; third, and most importantly, our troops stationed in North China, except for the 17th Army, are all in harmony with the central government.
The local armies, especially the Song Zheyuan Department, which is the main defense force in North China, have always opposed the central government's hasty reinforcement of troops in North China. The Hebei-Cha government affairs committee is making every effort to negotiate friendly negotiations with the Communist military and government in North China, doing its best to eliminate the hidden dangers of war and strive to obtain
Understand each other and work together. If our army misjudges the situation and increases troops in North China at this time, not only will it not help solve the North China issue, but it will make the situation more tense and undermine the peace efforts that Song Zheyuan, Qi Xieyuan and other North China military and political leaders have long sought.
If it is destroyed in one day, if this triggers a local conflict or even a full-scale war between China and Japan that could have been avoided, it will be an act that outweighs the gains. Ten years of perseverance and hard work have achieved results that will be destroyed in one day.
Chen Cheng saw An Yi's livid face and squinted at Chen Yi who stood up to express his opinion. He felt that An Yi was about to explode. In a hurry, he raised his foot and stepped hard on An Yi's feet. When An Yi came over knowingly, Chen Cheng
Then he whispered advice in An Yi's ear: "Don't be anxious, the principal has his own opinions, not to mention there are people who are more anxious than you, calm down and wait and see what happens."
Before Chen Cheng stopped speaking, the burly Feng Yuxiang had already stood up, waving his big hands like cattail leaf fans, and interrupted Chen Yi's words with a loud voice.
How could Chen Yi dare to offend Feng Yuxiang, who was highly experienced and eloquent? Everyone in the army knew that Feng Yuxiang spoke with joy, anger, laughter, and curses. If he annoyed him, he could use sharp and concise language without any curse words to make others scream.
I can't resist it, let alone in the face of such great right and wrong?
Feng Yuxiang spoke loudly and resoundingly. He started from the September 18th Incident, using conflicts and bloody realities as examples, and succinctly exposed the strategic conspiracy of the Communist Party of China to destroy itself, and finally said
A shocking sentence: "We have no retreat, and those who continue to tolerate and retreat will surely become sinners of the country and the nation!"
The venue fell silent as Feng Yuxiang sat down angrily. An Yi looked at the red-faced and majestic Feng Yuxiang with great respect. The admiration and respect in his heart arose spontaneously. He had known Feng Yuxiang for eight years, but he had never found Feng Yuxiang like this.
It was so awe-inspiring that at this moment, he really wanted to run over and salute Feng Yuxiang with a straight military salute.
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes swept across everyone's face, pausing for a moment on Jiang Baili and Yang Jie's faces. He saw that they were looking at each other calmly, and then turned his eyes to An Yi, who frowned, and his face was ashen.
Chen Cheng, whose face showed signs of fatigue, slowly stood up after thinking for a while and announced that the meeting would be adjourned and that the meeting would be resumed tomorrow morning.
The generals knew that continuing to argue would not only fail to solve the problem, but would create greater conflicts and create deeper estrangements. The adjournment at this time was just right to allow the generals with different opinions to have a detailed thinking process.
Chiang Kai-shek did not leave, nor did he say hello to anyone who was leaving. Instead, he sat quietly where he was, immersed in reading documents.
An Yi and Chen Cheng came to the side of Chiang Kai-shek and stood together under the notification of Chen Builei. Chiang Kai-shek made a gesture without raising his head. An Yi and Chen Cheng sat down straightly. Dai Li, deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, walked out of the lounge at the right time and came to them.
An Yi and Chen Cheng nodded and sat on the other side of Chiang Kai-shek.
"Yunong, please tell Ci Xiu and An Yi the situation." Chiang Kai-shek was still reading the documents.
"yes!"
Dai Li, with his back straight, turned to An Yi and Chen Cheng who were opposite him: "According to intelligence reports from our military command bureau lurking in Tokyo, both the military and political circles of the Communist Party of China have made up their minds to launch a full-scale war against China. The specific time has not been determined, but in the intelligence
Said that the Japanese army is very likely to launch within thirty days, and the first place to provoke the war is in the Pingjin area. Yesterday, the US consular officials in Shanghai suddenly hosted a banquet for Director Song Ziwen, during which he made it clear that if the Sino-Japanese war broke out
, the United States will have to remain neutral and is likely to stop selling weapons, equipment and other war materials to China and Japan at the same time. Director Song was extremely shocked, but very cleverly asked when the United States planned to announce this policy? The answer was no more than forty
sky."
Dai Li paused for a moment, swallowed his dry throat, and continued to report: "The above two pieces of information are consistent with the movements of the Kwantung Army that we have been monitoring for a long time. According to the data from our bureau and the Fourth Department, the Kwantung Army is in Heilongjiang, Changchun, and North Korea.
The "Japanese Volunteer Army" secretly expanded its recruitment in other regions. Among the more than 10 million Chinese expatriates spread across the Northeast and North Korea, more than 3 million young and strong overseas Chinese have registered to join the "Japanese Volunteer Army", and
Nearly half of them have received strict military training, and nearly one-third are retired Japanese army personnel. They only need to be organized and issued weapons and serial numbers to form an elite force that can charge into battle.
"As of the end of last month, the Kwantung Army had grown to about 520,000 officers and soldiers, and the situation was already very dangerous! Furthermore, the Japanese Army in North China had been unusually quiet and low-key for half a month, and no longer provoked any trouble. On the contrary, they were stationed in East and Southeast China.
The Japanese navy along the coast suddenly provoked the incident of Japanese smuggling, beating up our customs officers and the detention of our military police. It sent as many as eight warships to surround the waters of Shantou and was shouting and issuing various threats. The Japanese troops stationed in Xiamen
**The Marine Corps also openly attacked our security forces. After careful analysis, it is not difficult to draw a preliminary conclusion that the Japanese army is trying to divert our attention to cover up the all-out war of aggression that its main force is about to launch in North China. This is what my subordinates were ordered to tell you.
The news briefed by the chief is over."
An Yi and Chen Cheng had fully exchanged views on the plane. The information An Yi disclosed to Chen Cheng was even more detailed and accurate than that of Dai Li. Therefore, Chen Cheng was not surprised at all. An Yi had known that this day would come soon, and even more
There were no surprises.
Chiang Kai-shek raised his head: "An Yi, as early as a year ago, you submitted a confidential report to me, and you concluded with great certainty that the Sino-Japanese war will occur between the end of June and mid-July this year. For this reason,
We have obtained secret authorization from the Central Executive Committee. Since the middle of last year, we have secretly moved military industrial enterprises in Shanghai and Nanjing to Hunan and Chongqing. After the Spring Festival this year, the large state-owned manufacturing enterprise, Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory,
Large factories such as Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory have also gradually moved to areas around Chengdu and Chongqing. The core part of the Gongxian Arsenal in Henan has also begun to move westward. However, there are still quite a few large private enterprises that have not moved and dare not move.
, any movement will trigger panic throughout the country, so we are worried and at a loss as to what to do, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible not to move.
"You don't want to be swayed by the different opinions at the meeting, and you don't need to participate in them. What you have to do is to use the huge influence of your Jiangnan Group and China Southwest Bank as soon as possible, and use your appeal to mobilize in the shortest possible time.
Quickly relocate as many national industrial enterprises as possible to the west and southwestern regions. This is the biggest task I give you, and it is also the great trust given to you by the Central Executive Committee!"
An Yi's eyes shone brightly, he stood up quickly, raised his chest and replied: "Students understand! Students will definitely live up to the trust of the central government and the principal!"
"Very good! Very good, sit down...tell me, how do you plan to get it?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.
An Yi replied in a low voice: "Students don't have to come forward at all. Mr. Zhou Chong'an, the general manager of the secret order group, announced the closure of all branches and sub-branches of Southwest Bank in coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Anhui, and then asked the general manager of Sichuan South Group to publicly announce that the Yangtze River Shipping Company will stop operating the Yangtze River in half a month.
Downstream routes, closing the offices of Sichuan South Group and Jiangnan Group in coastal provinces, I believe all national capitalists will jump on it."
Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but laugh, and Chen Cheng and Dai Li were also very impressed.
"Ci Xiu, starting from today, you will suspend the reorganization of the entire army and go to Wuhan to convene a secret meeting of the commanders of the Central Army. But remember, to the outside world, it must be in the name of army reorganization. Do you understand?
"Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng suddenly stood up: "I understand!"
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Yunong, starting tomorrow, the Military Command Bureau and the Fourth Hall will each detach a small team of elite soldiers and generals to work together. The location is in the courtyard of the Fourth Hall of the Military Commission compound. I need you two to use the highest level of
Efficiently, handle all military intelligence."
"yes!"
Dai Li stood up and answered loudly.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Chiang Kai-shek turned to look at An Yi again: "You try to complete the task to Mr. Zhou Chong'an and Chu Er in one day tomorrow. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, you fly to Nanning, take my handwritten letter, and give it to Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng respectively.
If possible, it would be best to have Bai Jiansheng come back with you. I will wait for you in Lushan.
"You have also seen the meeting just now, and I have to say that it disappoints me! Only when Bai Jiansheng arrives to enrich our military leadership group, and Li Delin expresses his high-profile support for the central government and his resolute attitude against Japan, can those compromising factions and pro-Japanese
Let Pai's arrogance go down.
"Although I don't want war, it's not up to us this time. We can't tolerate any luck anymore. If we don't rise up to fight, the country will not be a country! However, everything needs to be done quietly. That's what I said to you.
Do things in a low profile and behave in a high profile!"
