As the last whistle sounded, the last construction team on the west side of the playground completed the task and lined up quickly. The beard on the high platform announced loudly: It took two hours and twenty-eight minutes in total! Among them, the newly formed 1st company completed the task first.
The inspection fully met the design standards and took two hours and six minutes. I announce that the new company won the first place in this engineer skills competition!
This achievement made An Yi very satisfied and also impressed the sixteen captured officers watching on the stage.
Yang Bin, Ye Cheng and other sixteen captured officers followed An Yi around the playground and inspected the construction quality, solidity and accuracy of the various training facilities that were completed one by one. They all unanimously and sincerely praised: impeccable!
In the tall and spacious main hall of the academy, An Yi hosted a sumptuous lunch for Yang Bin and other sixteen officers, who were also accompanied by Hu Jialin, Yin Jinan, Xia Jian, Gu Changfeng and Huang Yingwu, the victorious first company commander and instructor today.
Perhaps it was because of the deepening of understanding after a morning of getting along, or perhaps because of the unique bearing of soldiers, that they gradually let go of their estrangement and began to communicate with each other.
An Yi frequently toasted to the sixteen people, while Hu Jialin and others strictly followed wartime military orders and did not drink. However, they answered the guests' professional questions very politely and frankly told the guests briefly about the three stages of engineer training.
An Yi is even more generous and generous. He can openly discuss and communicate with each other about current affairs, military affairs, people's livelihood and even the future fate of major military groups raised by guests, and sincerely express his opinions and opinions in the guests' inquiries.
Opinion.
After having enough wine and food, the banquet was removed and cups of fragrant tea were served.
After everyone had a few sips of tea, An Yi gestured to Dong Yazi who was standing aside. Two brothers from the munitions unit quickly came in with two trays. Dong Yazi politely placed the heavy cowhide envelopes one by one.
He went to the table in front of the sixteen guests, and after distribution, he and the two brothers quietly stepped aside.
Yang Bin, who was sitting on the lower left side of An Yi, had a displeased face. He pointed to the envelope in front of him and asked: "Captain An, what's going on?"
An Yi put down his tea cup and explained kindly: "According to the practice of our army, captured officers who are unwilling to continue serving in the army can be dismissed as appropriate. I, An, am young and low-ranking, and I dare not delay your future. In this envelope are thirty
A big ocean and a disbandment certificate. The big ocean is a little thought from all the brothers in my model camp. The dismissal certificate was issued in advance by the Political Department of our First Army. Just fill in your name to prevent unnecessary incidents when passing through various military defense areas on the road.
Misunderstanding. Please accept it. After drinking this cup of tea, I, An Yi, will personally escort you out of the camp."
"Commander An, can you let us finish watching the afternoon competition?" Major Ding Muhua asked loudly.
An Yi shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, everyone, there will be several new equipment and new tactics in the afternoon finals, involving secrets such as special training and selection methods that our army is trialling. Even ordinary soldiers of our army will
It is strictly forbidden to watch within 100 meters of the arena, so please forgive me."
Yang Bin and others looked at each other, looking very disappointed.
Ye Cheng, who had already made up his mind, finally stood up slowly and asked loudly: "Captain An, I am willing to stay and serve in your model camp. I wonder if Commander An is willing to take me in?"
An Yi quickly stood up and replied happily: "I wish I could have asked for it! However, according to our army's latest placement method for attached officers, the retained attached officers can retain their original ranks, but must be demoted. I am afraid that my small engineer battalion will be aggrieved.
Major Ye."
Ye Cheng laughed: "It's much better than I expected! Commander An, I have made up my mind and am willing to stay and serve under your command. It's up to you to decide how to use it. I, Ye, will tell you the truth and I will obey you!"
An Yi was overjoyed and bent down to signal Ye Cheng to sit down: "I'm so happy! Brother Ye, please sit down and let me say goodbye to you... Everyone, as the saying goes, you won't get to know each other until you get to know each other. It's destined to know each other.
, the previous grievances and grudges have been wiped out. I hope we can treat each other as friends next time we meet, haha! It’s getting late, so I’ll give it to you, please!”
"slow!"
Yang Bin stood up and stared into An Yi's eyes: "Captain An, although the time between you and me was short, Yang was fortunate enough to listen to Commander An's heartfelt words and appreciate Commander An's way of running the army and his heroic spirit.
, enough to make Yang deeply admired and benefited endlessly, especially the painstaking efforts of Captain An who cared about the country and the people made Yang feel like a confidant, so Yang also wanted to stay with Brother Fang Lu (Ye Cheng's brand name)
I want to ask Camp Commander An for advice, can he make Yang have his wish?"
Lu Mingdi, Zhang Xiangong, and Qu Muchen stood up one after another and sincerely expressed their hope to stay and serve in the model camp. They all said that An Yi's generous person, unique vision and advanced military management concepts deeply moved them, and they were willing to
Join An Yi to create an ideal iron-blooded force, devote all your strength to the country and the people, and drive out all the bandits who are plundering the Chinese soil and trampling on the dignity of China.
An Yi, Hu Jialin, Yin Jinan and others were deeply moved and excited, and they all stood up to greet them sincerely. Before the luncheon, An Yi, Hu Hu and others felt that as long as they could keep one or two of the officers, they would be satisfied and make a lot of money.
Yes, because most of the sixteen captured mid-level and low-level officers had received formal and systematic military education and had no clear political orientation. Leaving aside the best Yang Bin and Ye Cheng for the time being, Lu Mingdi graduated from the eighth phase of Baoding Military Academy.
Zhang Xiangong and Ye Cheng were both young officers who graduated from the two-year academy of the Anhui Clan Military Academy. Qu Muchen was originally a history lecturer at Anhui Normal University. He joined the Anhui Army less than three years ago. They are all outstanding talents with formal education.
, otherwise it would be difficult to enter Zheng Junyan's division, one of Sun Chuanfang's four ace troops, and it is also the most respected independent regiment under his command. Why can't An Yi be overjoyed when he can get five people to join his soon-to-be-upgraded model camp?
The shortage of officers that had troubled him for so long was now solved. An Yi and his two close brothers no longer had to worry about suppression, division and annexation with ulterior motives!
Yang Bin and the five others, accompanied by An Yi and other captains, walked out of the camp gate for three miles, and bid farewell to the eleven Anhui officers who were full of loneliness but eager to return. They did not shout loudly until their backs disappeared at the end of the bamboo forest at the foot of the hill.
lament.
An Yi walked up to Yang Bin and Ye Cheng and asked with a smile: "Let's go, let's talk while we walk... Lao Yang, Lao Ye and all of you, there are no outsiders now. Let's talk about what's on our minds. How many people are we talking about?"
Why does this elder think so highly of my younger brother?"
Yang Bin and the other five were stunned for a moment, then smiled.
At the signal of his brothers, Ye Cheng explained in a low voice: "Captain An, it's rare for you to be so frank. If you don't tell you what's in your heart, we will all blush. To be fair..."
"Wait a minute! Everyone, I, An Yi, am younger than you. If you really think highly of me, just call me Xiao Yi like Hu Zi. It's not too late to call me by official title in formal occasions. In private, you don't need to be so distinguished. Unless you
I don’t dare to force you to persist, but in private I will no longer call you by your name. I will only call you Lao Yang, Lao Ye, Lao Lu, Lao Zhang, and Lao Qu. Maybe you are not used to it yet. You will know after ten days and a half.
I have a bad temper and bad mouth. Normally, I am only polite to people other than my brothers. I always have something to say to my brothers. That kind of hypocrisy is really tiring."
After An Yi finished speaking, he even laughed sheepishly.
Yang Bin and the other five people all laughed and said that this would be better and save trouble. Ye Cheng laughed and continued the topic:
"The current situation seems subtle, but in fact it has gradually become clearer, but most people can't see it. According to the bits and pieces of information that Brother Yang and I have obtained, we found that there have been subtle changes in the Anhui army where we are.
And the impact is getting bigger and bigger.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the National Revolutionary Army, especially Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, the prominent plutocrats and leaders from all walks of life in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions have secretly communicated with many generals in our Anhui army, including business leaders such as Kong Xiangxi, Yu Qiaqing, and industrial and commercial giants.
The Rong, Zhang and other families are all old friends and confidants of Commander-in-Chief Chiang. Marshal Sun is already facing an Anhui clique that is about to get out of control or even fall apart. Except for a few direct divisions and brigades currently gathered around Nanchang and on the Nanxun line, other departments will
Commander Sun Marshal's orders have begun to be violated, either deliberately delaying the recruitment or using various excuses to stop moving forward. As long as the revolutionary army captures Nanchang, half of China will be covered with blue sky and white sun flag.
Therefore, after repeated discussions, we decided to take this opportunity to take the first step. Anyway, we have been defeated by you in advance. We have also fulfilled our responsibilities and have a clear conscience. Being able to achieve what you said and finally strive for consensus is our greatest success.
wish."
Yang Bin took over Ye Cheng's topic and added: "As a soldier, we are all very confused and disgusted when our country is still in a state of decline and we are still fighting among ourselves. Looking at the military across the country today, only Mr. Sun Yat-sen
The National Revolutionary Army, which takes the Three People's Principles as its highest ideal, is the real national army. Unlike warlords from all walks of life who are willing to betray the interests of the country and the nation for their own personal interests, we see the hope of national revitalization from the revolutionary army.
It was our biggest ideal when we joined the army, so it was only a matter of time before we surrendered to the revolution.
The reason why we were hesitant before was that we were captured too quickly and were defeated quickly without any psychological preparation. This made us very frustrated and humiliated. There is another reason why we took such an important step, and it is also very important.
, the very key reason is because of you!
That's right, don't hesitate, it's you! Although you are young, we see hope in you, experience a long-lost surging passion and soaring heroism, and see the shocking unique temperament and extraordinaryness in your army.
You have seen the results of advanced training methods, extraordinary cohesion and self-confidence in the ordinary officers and soldiers of the model camp. These are things we lack but expect to have, so we are determined to follow you.
Although the current model camp is still relatively weak, we are full of confidence in you and full of hope for our future. Moreover, we are not prominent figures now. We are also middle and low-level officers who are struggling for our future. We have no
There is nothing we can't let go of. On the contrary, we are even more excited and proud to be able to make achievements together with a hero like you. This is what we are saying, even if you don't ask today, we will tell you soon."
After listening to these real words, An Yi had mixed feelings. He was glad that he had met several like-minded and honest brothers. At the same time, he also deeply felt the importance of financial resources and various strengths, and also felt the burden on his shoulders.
The burden is getting heavier and heavier.
The secret information revealed by Ye Cheng and Yang Bin surprised An Yi. At the same time, he got a better understanding of his principal, admired his clever and secretive methods, admired his tolerant mentality, and also had a deep understanding of money.
He gained a deeper understanding of his role: the chaebols of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which accounted for one-third of the country's wealth, finally all sided with the principal, which made An Yi happy but also thoughtful.
For some reason, an idiom suddenly popped up in An Yi's mind - tolerance means magnanimity. This idiom suddenly had an extremely ridiculous explanation:
If you have a beautiful face, don’t you mean “big breasts and a beautiful face”? No matter how beautiful you are if you don’t have breasts, no one will call you mother!
