At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chengzhu, member of the Anjiajun Military Commission and commander of the front army, came to the office of Jiang Yunshan, Secretary-General of the Nanhua Government.
"Brother Yucheng, you came here rashly without making an appointment, please Haihan!" Zhang Chengzhu put on his military uniform, walked through the door and strode to Jiang Yunshan's desk, greeting him with a smile.
Jiang Yunshan raised his head and saw Zhang Chengzhu. He was shocked and stood up quickly:
"General Zhang, aren't you organizing the new army in Xufu? Why are you here in Xinjing! Come on, come on, please take a seat. You are not feeling well yet, so please rest!"
Jiang Yunshan asked Zhang Chengzhu to sit down on the sofa near the window, and asked his secretary to make tea. Then he sat opposite Zhang Chengzhu and asked, "I wonder what the important business is for General Zhang to come here?"
Zhang Chengzhu looked solemn: "I wonder what Mr. Yucheng thinks of my fourth brother?"
"Fourth brother?"
Jiang Yunshan didn't react for a while, but then he suddenly realized: "Oh, the general must be talking about Chairman An! Five years ago, Yucheng Demengqu and Qi introduced him, and Chairman An personally visited his relatives' homes at the southern foot of Cuiping Mountain.
we stay up all night
We talked with him and became a confidant, and then I became the president of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and later served as the general counselor and secretary-general of the Appeasement Office of the Syrian government. I was entrusted with important tasks by Chairman An. It can be said that Chairman An was kind to Yucheng.
!”
Zhang Chengzhu nodded: "What Mr. Yucheng said is the relationship between the master and his subordinates. What does Mr. Yucheng think of my fourth brother's appearance and character?"
Jiang Yunshan was full of doubts, but he still told the truth:
"Chairman An is handsome and handsome, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. What is especially rare is that he cares about the country and the people, and has the world at heart. He is really a role model for the younger generation. Chairman An created the foundation of South China from scratch, and then regained Mongolia and marched into the world.
Central Asia, you can see how extraordinary he is. In a sense, it can be said that Chairman An opened up new territories and expanded the territory. He is actually a great contributor to the Chinese nation and can be compared with the predecessors and sages."
Seeing Zhang Chengzhu's smiling face, Jiang Yunshan's doubts deepened. He thought that Zhang Chengzhu must have come with some purpose. What was the purpose of his words? But he was not slow at all and continued: "From a personal perspective
Angle General, Chairman An is sincere, down-to-earth, and doesn’t put on airs. Being with him is like a breath of fresh air. He is indeed a good man who is upright and upright."
Zhang Chengzhu nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Yucheng, since you value my fourth brother so much, how about my fourth brother becoming your bedfellow?"
Jiang Yunshan was shocked, and then shook his head: "I would like to, but I have four daughters. The eldest daughter is thirty years old this year and is married to a minor official under Liu Wenhui. The second daughter is twenty-eight years old and is the mayor of Taiyuan City, Honghe Province.
Qi’s wife, the third daughter, is twenty-five years old, and is the wife of Dong Yugen, the second son of Vice Prime Minister Dong Fuchuan. The youngest daughter Fengying is still young, she is only sixteen years old this year. Isn’t it suitable for her to study in middle school in Xinjing?”
"Suitable, so suitable!"
Zhang Chengzhu said repeatedly: "Miss Jiang Fengying is very suitable. In the past 28 years, in ancient times, she was the mother of her children..."
"Enough!"
Jiang Yunshan suddenly changed his color, stood up and shouted angrily: "General Zhang, if you came here specifically to humiliate me, you can go back. I, Jiang Yucheng, have studied Chinese studies, law, and philosophy for many years, and I am proud and proud. I will never do it for the future of myself and my family."
Selling your own daughter!”
Zhang Chengzhu smiled and remained unmoved. After Jiang Yunshan finished scolding him, he pushed Jiang Yunshan to his seat and said with a smile: "Brother Yucheng, why should you be angry? It's not that I'm here to mess with the relationship, but that couples are made by nature and cannot be done by human power.
reverse."
Jiang Yunshan angrily picked up the tea cup and drank it all without saying a word.
Zhang Chengzhu filled Jiang Yunshan's tea with a smile. After putting down the teapot, he said solemnly: "I don't want to betray Mr. Yu anymore. In fact, Chengzhu came here on the commission of my fourth brother to propose marriage to Mr. Yucheng."
Jiang Yunshan was shocked, pointed at Zhang Chengzhu and said: "How... is this possible? What is going on?"
Zhang Chengzhu sighed: "Actually, my fourth brother doesn't want to either. It's not because the Ye family sisters are weird and have implicated your daughter."
Afterwards, Zhang Chengzhu recounted the absurd things that happened last night to Jiang Yunshan in detail, and then said: "Your daughter is too strong-willed. If I don't give her an explanation, my fourth brother is afraid of causing trouble. From the bottom of my heart,
, my fourth brother respects his husband very much and does not want to have any quarrel with him because of this matter, so today
As soon as he got to work, he called me and asked me, my sworn brother, to go to Xinjing in person and propose marriage to my husband on his behalf. If my husband allows me, he will visit me as a junior tonight. If my husband feels that I am four
Even though I am not a rich man, you can make it clear to me that my fourth brother is willing to agree to any conditions."
Jiang Yunshan was completely stunned. He didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen. But thinking about Ye Qing's position in An Yi's heart, and thinking about the eagerness of the Ye family for Ye Zixin to marry An Yi, he knew all this
It's all true, and his daughter actually got into a bad relationship with An Yi out of confusion.
In the five years since he became an official, Jiang Yunshan has won the respect of An Yi and can be regarded as An Yi's military advisor. An Yi has also entrusted him with important responsibilities. In terms of government affairs, Jiang Yunshan is confident and bold in letting Jiang Yunshan do what he wants. Jiang Yunshan feels like Zhuge Liang meets Liu Bei.
I have to meet the Ming Lord, and I will try my best to repay you. Watching An Yi
With his own help, I embarked on the road of overlord day by day, watching the industrial bases rising from the ground in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, and Nanhua, watching the political and economic system of the group being slowly established, and watching the joy of the farmers' harvest,
This period of time can be said to be Jiang Yunshan's most fulfilling and happiest time.
The highest pursuit of a scholar is for the monarch and his ministers to know each other and to express their ambitions. If he leaves in anger, I am afraid that future generations will not say that An Yi is unsympathetic and unkind, but will say that he is narrow-minded and does not know how to behave.
From An Yi, Jiang Yunshan then thought of his daughter. Since Zhang Chengzhu said that his daughter almost committed suicide by hitting a wall because of An Yi's words, it means that she has decided to marry An Yi. If she is forcibly stopped, I don't know what will happen.
Having a daughter in old age, Jiang Yunshan originally loved this youngest daughter very much, and naturally he did not want her to lose her beauty at such a young age.
Jiang Yunshan's expression became softer and softer, and he couldn't help but wonder what benefits this marriage would bring to himself and his family.
You must know that in addition to his four daughters, Jiang Yunshan also has a son named Chen Rui. He has just turned twenty this year and graduated from the command major of the Xufu Military Academy. He is now serving as a recruit company commander under Zhang Chengzhu with the rank of second lieutenant. If Jiang Fengying marries An
Yi, Jiang Chenrui has the status of "uncle of the country", and his future future is limitless.
Think about it, Ye Ziquan is only twenty-six years old now, and he is already the dean of the Southern Yunnan Air Defense Command Academy and a major general. Isn’t it because he has a good sister? The ambiguous relationship between Ye Qing and An Yi has almost completely destroyed the military and political system of the Syrian government.
Everyone knows that the Ye family eagerly wants to marry Zi Xin to An Yi, isn't it just for the glory of being a royal relative?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunshan finally no longer hesitated:
"A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, and I am not an immutable person. Since this evil fate is destined by God, I will naturally not object. I just don't know how Brother Yaoting and Brother Huaide (Feng Jingyao) will view this matter. I'm afraid that they will
They will blame me for stealing their wife and husband!"
Zhang Chengzhu smiled slightly: "Today, my fourth brother has told his two younger siblings about the ridiculous things last night. Instead of blaming them, the two younger siblings were relieved... Do you know why? The two younger siblings are pregnant again, Chu'er
Jieyun is already three months pregnant and Jieyun is two and a half months pregnant. They are just hoping someone can help them share the burden!"
Jiang Yunshan was surprised, then relieved. No wonder Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun didn't live in Xinjing during this period. It turned out that they wanted to avoid An Yi to raise their children! Think about An Yi, a man with strong blood, as a national leader.
Naturally, people can’t mess around outside, and their daily official duties are really busy.
Military and political affairs are almost one after another, especially many political and military decisions, which are related to the future of the country and the nation. All of them require An Yi to make decisions alone. Just this pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear. Naturally, I hope that it will be on my beloved wife.
Got catharsis, but now...
Jiang Yunshan felt at ease, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Did Xiaoyi come alone tonight, or invited other guests... Also, what kind of meeting, engagement, is tonight? Or just
Simply confirm the relationship?"
Zhang Chengzhu smiled: "Is there any difference between the two? In our military and political system, on the ground controlled by the Anjiajun, anyone who dares to compete with my fourth brother for his lover is probably not even born yet! If nothing else, as long as I, the fourth brother, tonight
When my brother comes to your residence, guards from the Central Security Bureau will appear next to your daughter tomorrow. This is not a declaration of showing off or possession, but a necessary means to protect the dignity of the leader!
"Almost the entire military and political system revolves around my fourth brother. Although he has never realized the privileges he enjoys, his current status in South China is probably far greater than that of the German and Italian heads of state in their own countries! Now
In the military, everything is governed by his will, and the government’s final decision-making power is also in his hands. Therefore, brother Yucheng, the Jiang family will not suffer from this marriage!"
Jiang Yunshan nodded silently, but a doubt arose in his heart: With An Yi's current influence, will he become a dictator?
.......
The sun sets on the western horizon. About a hundred nautical miles northeast of Hokkaido Island, the American flag is flying on the bow of the ship. The cargo hold is filled with engines, machine tools, scrap steel and other materials. The large bulk carrier "Qingyun" is sailing ten kilometers away.
At an economical cruising speed of two knots, we sailed along the intercontinental route across the Pacific Ocean towards Haiphong Port on the other side of the ocean.
According to the U.S. Neutrality Law, the U.S. government does not allow its own fleet to transport goods to belligerent countries. However, the situation in Nanhua is quite special. Although the Nanhua government was formed by the famous anti-Japanese general An Yi, Japan has not yet established a presence in Nanhua and surrounding areas.
A face-to-face contest was held, so South China was not considered a belligerent by the U.S. government, and American passenger and cargo ships could travel freely.
Behind the 20,000-ton cargo ship "Qingyun" are ten medium-sized cargo ships ranging from 8,000 to 6,500 tons. A total of eleven cargo ships form a huge freighter formation.
There were forty-two crew members on the cargo ship "Qingyun". At this time, six crew members, including the captain Lin Zhigang, gathered on the observation platform on the top of the ship building.
"Captain, it's already half past five. Could they be surrounded by the Japanese naval fleet?"
"No, there's a call from the headquarters. Everything is normal with the submarine force and they will definitely arrive on time. Let's continue searching and don't be careless." After that, Lin Zhigang raised his telescope and looked towards the sea to the south.
Lin Zhigang is from Lincun. He is 28 years old this year, two generations younger than Lin Xudong and Lin Yaodong. He came to the United States in 2029 and worked hard with Lin Xudong. He was later sent to the U.S. Navy Officer Candidate School to study. After graduating in early 2033, he went to Xufu to receive
After half a year of training, he returned to the United States at the end of the year and served as the captain of the 6,000-ton freighter "Qingsong". At the end of last year, he just became the captain of the "Qingyun" and the commander of the second cargo fleet.
A week ago, a special telegram broke the peaceful life of the entire cargo fleet. At that time, the cargo fleet departed from the Port of San Francisco and was sailing around the Aleutian Islands. If the normal sailing speed was followed, it would take three to four days to cross the outskirts of the Japanese archipelago.
After receiving the telegram, the cargo fleet immediately sailed to Dutch Harbor. In the name of repairing the ship, it stayed for a day and unloaded some cargo, which was replaced by diesel, grain, soybeans and clean water prepared by the local Chinese consortium.
After the fleet was on the road again, it slowed down as it sailed through the outskirts of the Kamchatka Peninsula, almost slowly "drifting" at a speed of four to five knots. It was not until the exact telegram was received yesterday that it resumed high speed and headed towards the scheduled destination.
Sailing to the sea area.
As time passed by, Lin Zhigang felt a little anxious.
The scheduled rendezvous time was six o'clock in the evening, but the time was approaching, but there was no sign.
"Captain, look quickly, it's seven o'clock."
First officer Lin Zhixuan's sudden cry startled Lin Zhigang. Five hundred meters away, he saw a periscope sticking out of the sea, and then more periscopes stuck out of the sea in the surrounding area.
"Send light signals. Ask the other party for their identity."
Lin Zhixuan immediately whistled to a crew member standing at the top of the mast, and then made some gestures. As the "Qingyun" sent out a light signal, the other party also sent out a light signal.
"Okay, the wait is finally here."
"Order the speed of the entire fleet to be reduced to four knots, and we all go to the deck."
"Yes!" Lin Zhixuan took the order and left.
The submarine approached slowly, and the crew had prepared cables and cranes. The submarine "Amur" slowly leaned on the left side of the "Qingyun". When the crew threw the cables to the submarine, several soldiers appeared on the submarine's side.
On the command platform, after the two ships remained relatively stationary, the crane on the ship started and hoisted a young man in a Nanhua Navy uniform onto the ship.
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Huang Jianbo of the Nanhua Navy. Are you here to pick up our fleet heading south?" Huang Jianbo asked straight to the point.
"Yes, according to the order, our cargo fleet will obey your command!" Lin Zhigang said solemnly.
Huang Jianbo nodded: "Very good, the submarine formation has all arrived. Starting now, the submarine will surface at night, follow the fleet, and move forward at a speed of fourteen knots. During the day, the submarine will dive underwater, and the entire formation will move at eight
Moving forward at a speed of knots. Is there a radio system on the ship?"
Lin Zhigang solemnly replied: "Yes, the command room has the most advanced communication equipment, and each freighter in our formation is also equipped with radios."
Huang Jianbo said: "That's good! In the next half month, we must work together. When we enter the Beibu Gulf, our air force and navy will come to greet us. It will be safe by then! During this period, the ship formation will sail
, as well as the material supplies on the submarine, will be coordinated."
Later, Lin Zhigang accompanied Huang Jianbo to the command room and reported to Nanhua headquarters.
