"An Yi, you haven't recovered from your illness, can you bear to go to Shanghai?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at the haggard and pale An Yi standing in front of him, his face full of pity and concern.
An Yi smiled and walked a few steps. Although his steps were slightly staggering, they were strong and powerful. Then he turned to Soong Meiling: "Teacher, look, the principal is questioning my judgment!"
Song Meiling covered her mouth and laughed, then said helplessly: "Xiao Yi, your principal cares about you... Do you know why my eldest brother and sister have not come to see you during this time? Your principal is
I want you to take more rest. You also know in your heart that this time you not only suffered serious internal injuries, but also suffered from concussion and other brain diseases. What if you don’t take care of yourself and leave sequelae? You are the Optimus Prime of your principal and the party-state.
, he still relies on you to help him share many things!"
"Thank you, principal, thank you, my teacher's wife!"
An Yi's eyes turned red, and he cast a grateful glance at Song Meiling, Song Ailing, and Song Ziwen, and then faced Chiang Kai-shek and said sincerely:
"But students can't sit still! From North China to Shanghai, the Japanese army is aggressive. If we don't respond well, we will lose our armor and be defeated thousands of miles away. Based on my many years of experience in fighting with the Japanese army, the Japanese army
In fact, it is not terrible. They are also human beings. They also have emotions, emotions, and timidity. As long as we fight tit for tat and let them suffer a small loss every time, Japan's national power cannot afford to consume it. This kind of war of attrition is inevitable.
If there are too many, the Japanese will leave a shadow in our hearts, and we will unconsciously become conservative and timid when fighting. In this way, the pressure we bear will be much less.
"On the contrary, if they are used to fighting with favorable winds, their arrogance will become higher and higher, and their combat power will increase exponentially. A victorious division and a defeated division, even if they are the same group of troops, will have
Completely different performance. And if we are used to losing battles, when facing the Japanese army, we will be timid before fighting and shrink our hands everywhere. This will only lead to fortifications everywhere and being beaten everywhere, which will eventually turn into a great rout.
"Therefore, our soldiers must fight bravely to take the lead in every battle, with the main purpose of consuming the strength of the Japanese army, fully mobilizing the people, and focusing on frontal blocking operations and breakthrough operations behind enemy lines. If the enemy's front line is stretched too long, we can send small units
Troops of troops go deep into the enemy's rear, destroying their transportation and material supplies, straining their strength and attention, and accumulating small victories into big ones. In this way, before long, the situation between the enemy and ourselves will change, and our National Government can take advantage of the situation to regain the lost ground and comfort the people.
.”
"These views are very similar to ***'s suggestions..."
Chiang Kai-shek said thoughtfully: "An Yi, if the central government had no determination, it would not have transferred all the most elite main forces to Shanghai to participate in the war. That would be an elite army equipped with a wide range of moral weapons and weapons produced by your government.
, I put my heart and soul into each one, and it cost a lot of money.”
An Yi broke out in a cold sweat: "The students are not saying this, the students are worried that some of our generals do not have the determination and courage to resist resolutely. What is particularly frightening is that some people are still cautious about preserving their strength...
"
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "You mean Liu Jingfu, right? An Yi, you have to relax your mind. Liu Jingfu retreated without notifying the Fifth Army. Is that true? But you should also see that the situation at that time was already
It was extremely critical. Judging from the intelligence obtained afterwards, the Japanese army had already mobilized five divisions to launch an attack from south to north. Most of the Second Group Army were tired divisions and could hardly exert even one-tenth of their usual combat strength.
, it was a wise move to decisively retreat. Of course, it caused great harm to the Fifth Army, and I felt very sad.
"The Fifth Army Corps is like a needle in the sea. With Hu Jialin leading his troops in North China for a day, the Japanese army did not dare to be too aggressive. After hearing the news that Hu Jialin and other generals were attacked by gas bombs, I was also sad and cried several times, so after hearing your
I did not express any opinions on either the Japanese memorandum or the subsequent emergency declaration. Many people in the government and the military asked me to severely punish you, but I refused. Isn’t it because I can understand your grief and indignation?
"The national situation is difficult. Every general has grown up after years of trials. Liu Jingfu is your old commander. You know very well what his abilities are. You said that he is mediocre and has no strategic vision. I admit this.
But if you want to say that he passively avoids battles to preserve his strength, it is a bit too much. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Second Division fought to be first in every battle, killing mountains of corpses and seas of blood without taking a step back. Since you left the Second Division, the Second Division has
It was the unit with the highest battle loss rate in the Northern Expedition. Don’t these all show Liu Jingfu’s bravery and tenacity? So, I will be your host today, let go of your worries, and work together to serve the party and the country!”
An Yi smiled bitterly in his heart and said to himself, Principal, do you think Liu Zhi is still the brave and powerful commander of the Second Division? Years of official career have long smoothed his edges and changed him from the outside to the inside. But these are not good
He told Chiang Kai-shek that if he continued to question him at this time, he would be accusing Chiang Kai-shek of his talent for people. At the moment, he could only say respectfully: "I will obey the principal's instructions."
"An Yi, what do you think of these two days when various countries condemned our National Government and concluded treaties with Japan? Is our country really isolated from the world?"
Song Ziwen couldn't bear it any longer, pulled An Yi to sit on the sofa next to him, and asked with his head covered.
Starting in June, Kong Xiangxi traveled around the world to seek political and economic support. He initially achieved good results and signed a series of cooperation agreements with the United States, Britain, France and other countries, and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in investment funds. However, as China
With the outbreak of the Japanese War, the attitudes of various governments and financial groups suddenly became ambiguous, and the previously signed contracts were quickly shelved. This made Song Ziwen, who was temporarily in charge of the finance and finance of the National Government, extremely uneasy.
An Yi cast an inquiring look at Chiang Kai-shek. When he saw Chiang Kai-shek indicating that he would answer the question, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "These contracts represent the tendencies of various countries. It seems that we in China have really become the target of criticism. Maybe our government
Many people in the army and the army can't sit still, thinking that our country will follow the footsteps of Empress Dowager Cixi who went to war with other countries and was disgraced and humiliated the country? I think this kind of worry is just taking off your pants and farting - unnecessary!"
An Yi's words caused a burst of laughter from Song Meiling and Song Ailing. Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen looked at each other, somewhat confused, and continued to look at An Yi to see how he would explain.
"In fact, no matter how much support the great powers give, it is nothing more than providing money, supplies or even weapons. They will never send troops, and they dare not send them. The government of the Republic of China is not the decadent Manchu Qing government, and China today is not the same as it was at that time.
China, which has no foundation, can be compared. After more than ten years of development, especially since the outbreak of the global economic crisis in 2029, China has initially established a sound industrial system. From aircraft, cannons to ordinary firearms, we can manufacture everything.
It can basically meet the consumption of our army, and our dependence on external parties is gradually decreasing.
"Looking at the current international situation, Europe, Germany, and Italy are frequently testing the bottom line of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. In October 2033, Germany withdrew from the Disarmament Conference and the League of Nations; at the end of 2004, Germany regained sovereignty over the Saarland on its own;
In March, Germany implemented universal compulsory military service and significantly expanded its military; last March, Germany sent 40,000 troops to the Rhine Demilitarized Zone; last July, Germany sent troops to Spain to get involved in the Spanish Civil War; last October, Germany and Italy signed the "
Protocol", promising to adopt a common position on major issues; last November, Germany and Japan signed the "Commons International Agreement" to build an alliance of armed forces between the East and the West. From these we can see that Hitler is taking big steps towards war one step at a time.
Moving forward, the next step is very likely to take action against neighboring countries, gradually annexing Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and other countries, increasing strategic depth and enriching its own strength. Europe has laid a powder keg, and friction may break out at any time. Britain, the United States and other countries
Now that they have shifted their strategic focus back to the European mainland, they have no time to worry about the situation in the Far East. At best, they just shout a few words and say that they are unable to send troops.
"So, does the support of the great powers to Japan have any substantial harm to us? Yes, but not as big as we imagined! What I have repeatedly stated is that Japan is the third largest navy in the world, and all the coastal areas of our country are
Being controlled by it, Japan can easily obtain resources from all over the world, but China cannot. We can only fully tap our internal potential, fight to the death with the Japanese army, and consume Japan's national power bit by bit. Therefore, what the great powers call us
We are not afraid of sanctions at all. Those who wear shoes are not afraid of those who wear shoes. We have gained nothing in the first place, so why are we afraid of attacks and threats?
"However, the Communist Party suddenly obtained a large amount of loans, which will inevitably purchase strategic materials, continuously turn on the machines, and produce a large number of guns and fighter planes. We cannot underestimate it. We still have a long period of difficult years to go through. But we
Defending the homeland is a war of all nations. Every inch of land can become a battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. Every resource can be allocated and utilized in a targeted manner. Every citizen has the potential to become a battlefield of bloody battles.
Warriors; while the Japanese army was an aggressor and lacked the courage to be in another country. They could only use extremely cruel and tyrannical methods to carry out high-pressure rule, plunder all resources, and deter the Chinese people from resisting through burning, killing, looting, and this move would inevitably encounter huge backlash and
Criticism. International justice and democracy are in my hands. Nowadays, governments of various countries are limited to their own interests and are more or less blinded by the huge trade volume. When the Japanese reveal their true colors, they will find that they have been deceived.
Will consciously or unconsciously reduce support for ***.
"Finally, what I want to say is that when Japanese people have money, what else will they do besides making guns and airplanes? Japan is a naval power. Its army is composed of an army and a navy. Every year, the army's financial
More than half of the budget is transferred to the Navy's account. Therefore, I have reason to believe that the Navy will use this money to build a large number of warships. Once the number of warships accumulates to a certain level, and China cannot find a way to use it,
The Japanese will definitely go south and attack Southeast Asia, Australia, even India, West Asia and other places. A storm sweeping the world will start from this. Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States will also shoot themselves in the foot.
Let them regret their decision today!"
An Yi's insights stunned Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen. Song Meiling and Song Ailing looked in disbelief. Song Ziwen had the deepest understanding of the international situation and was the first to recover. He asked with some hesitation: "An Yi, what do you mean, ***
One day, someone might take action against the British?"
"Not only the British, but also the Americans, the French, the Dutch, and even the entire countries with colonies in the East will become the targets of Japanese naval attacks."
An Yi said confidently: "China is an oil-poor country, and warships are devouring a large amount of oil every minute. According to the Japanese gangster logic, rather than spending huge sums of money to buy it, it is better to control it in your own hands."
.Once the war breaks out in Europe, the Japanese army will be an inevitable choice to go south, and then it will be an opportunity for China to rise."
"Oh?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with interest: "What opportunity?"
"Nanyang!"
An Yi said categorically: "If the United States is attacked, it will definitely declare war on Japan. According to the national strength of the United States, the possibility of defeat is very slim. At that time, the Japanese must have expelled the forces of Britain, the United States, France, the Netherlands and other countries from Southeast Asia.
We can then openly enter the region as an allied force, regain China's sovereignty that has been lost for many years, put the region under China's absolute control, and build an unsinkable aircraft carrier that includes the Southeast Asian archipelago for future generations."
Chiang Kai-shek shook his head repeatedly: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. This move will definitely greatly irritate the British and Americans, and it will be detrimental to the overall situation of China's war of resistance. I don't agree with this...and this is just your wishful thinking."
, who knows in which direction the international situation will change? Britain is known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, and will never sit back and watch us encroach on its interests. There is absolutely no need for us to establish such a strong enemy."
An Yi didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek's answer. He thought for a while and settled for the next best thing: "Well, principal, if the situation develops step by step in the direction I predicted, please allow me to take charge of the war in Southeast Asia and even the entire Pacific.
No matter where we go or what happens, you can blame it on me. After all, the big powers know the situation in China, and I will bear the responsibility. No one will doubt it."
Song Ziwen looked at An Yi thoughtfully, while Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Well, if the day comes, I'll do what you said! Now let's talk about the war in Shanghai. An Yi
, do you have the confidence to block the *** people on the front line in Shanghai?"
An Yi stood up suddenly and gave a solemn military salute to Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, the students hereby promise not to let the Japanese army take a step forward in Shanghai. The students go here, or they will be benevolent if they fail. The only prerequisite for the Japanese army to break through the Shanghai defense line is to step on it."
Carry my body over. To this end, I want to transfer the New Second Army to the south of the Yangtze River and deploy it to the Wufu Line to respond to the Japanese offensive on the north and south wings at any time."
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes became extremely serious: "An Yi, do you mean that the Japanese army is going to fight in Shanghai?"
An Yi nodded: "Relying on its maritime superiority, the Japanese army definitely wants to consume our effective forces in the offshore area. If we want to ensure the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, we have to launch a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army here, and at the same time show to the world that our country will never surrender.
I know what the principal is thinking. The Ninth Army and the two armies under General Cixiu can be regarded as the principal's imperial army. Now they are all sent to Shanghai, but - they are fighting against the city and fighting against the Japanese.
Without much experience, there is likely to be a lot of casualties."
Speaking of this, An Yi's tone was a little low: "I heard that during the Eighty-Eighth Division's attack on Baziqiao and Chizhi University this morning, General Huang Minzhong (Huang Meixing), commander of the 264th Brigade, was killed. General Minzhong
He was my senior student in the first phase of Huangpu. Although we don’t communicate much on weekdays, I know that he was a beloved general. His passing must have been a huge blow to the principal. If this battle continues like this, there will be a second one.
The third Lieutenant General Min appeared. So, principal, please allow me to take over the Shanghai offensive, and the students promise to take down the Japanese Concession in Shanghai..."
Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "An Yi, I understand your good intentions, but now people all over the country are looking at Shanghai, and they are all looking at me, Jiang. Now, troops from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places are pouring in.
Assembling to Nanjing, Yan Baichuan also abandoned the previous suspicion and led the Shanxi-Sui army to fight the enemy. If at this juncture, I withdraw my troops and you take over, what will others think? Li Delin, Yan Baichuan, Liu Fucheng,
What would He Yunqiao, Han Xiangfang and others think? Will they still have the intention of conserving their strength and passively resisting the war? The reason why I want to fight in Shanghai with the army I have built with my hard work is to strengthen the resistance of the entire country's army against Japan.
Faith!”
An Yi was greatly moved and said with a choked voice: "Principal——"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and comforted: "I have told Wen Bai and Ci Xiu. If you really can't persist, I will transfer your Anjia Army. I agreed to your proposal. The New Second Army will be transferred to Wuxi. It can be used to attack or retreat.
, but trains must be prepared at any time. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense. If the mechanized troops are trapped in it, they will be unable to advance or retreat! In addition, according to Dai Li’s latest information, the Japanese have already obtained the first batch of water transport from the United States.
Fighters will soon be put on the battlefield. You can also transfer the Southwest Air Force Regiment south to Suzhou Airport. In this way, plus Nanchang and Hangzhou airports, you will have three groups of fighters at hand to dispatch, and it will be much easier to deal with it.
Already."
An Yi was very worried: "How to maintain air security in the Huanghuai area? In addition, I am worried that the Japanese army will land on the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. We must strengthen monitoring of the coastline!"
"Don't worry, I know all this. In view of the situation in North China that has taken a turn for the worse, it is unwise to hoard a large number of fighter planes at Baoding Qingyuan Airport. I have decided to mobilize the Third Group of the Central Air Force to station at Nanjing Airport, the Fourth Group to station at Huai'an Airport, and the Third Group to station at Huai'an Airport.
The Fifth Brigade is stationed at Xuzhou Airport, and the reorganized Ninth Group is stationed at Zhengzhou Airport. In addition, several *** squadrons of our Central Air Force continue to stay at Qingyuan Airport to cooperate with the operations of the Sixth Regiment of the Southwest Air Force." Chiang Kai-shek explained patiently.
An Yi felt relieved and looked at the time. It was almost time to set off. He wanted to say goodbye to Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and others. Chiang Kai-shek held his hand again and warned earnestly:
"An Yi, you know, I appointed General Feng Huanzhang as the commander of the theater. The symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance. All the third theaters are my direct descendants, and the leaders are all your teachers and brothers in Huangpu. Feng Huanzhang cannot be mobilized.
Therefore, in fact, you and Mo San (the same name as Gu Zhu) are in charge of the entire war zone. In recent years, Mo San has been the director of the camp for a long time and has not spent much time leading troops to fight, so you have to shoulder the responsibility of commanding the war zone.
The task of fighting has come.
"I know very well that currently there are many of your Huangpu brothers among the various military divisions in Shanghai. Wenbai, Cixiu, they are still your most respected division commanders, and Zhang Xianghua and others are veteran Northern Expedition generals. However, it is a matter of life and death for the party and the country.
When it comes to big things, don't take it personally. Anyone who made a mistake will be treated equally. If they don't listen to your orders, just call me and I'll take care of them myself!"
"headmaster!"
An Yi was greatly grateful. Chiang Kai-shek's heartfelt words won his heartfelt respect. At least in terms of national justice, Chiang Kai-shek was worthy of his status as a leader. In today's China, only Chiang Kai-shek can indeed bear this responsibility.
Take up the important task of uniting the whole nation to resist the war!
At the same time, An Yi felt that the responsibilities on his shoulders were heavy. He originally came to Shanghai just to command An's army in combat and deal a heavy blow to the Japanese. However, Chiang Kai-shek's words suddenly pushed him to the front desk, leaving him unable to do anything.
