The 500-ton luxury liner of the Jiangnan Water Transport Company, escorted by two small gunboats of the Nationalist Government Navy, quietly left the Xiaguan Pier in Nanjing and headed up the river.
At this moment, An Yi was still sleeping in the first class cabin. Four doctors and nurses who came with the ship from the old Nanchang Hospital were sitting next to An Yi, closely monitoring him.
With a serious look on his face, Hu Jialin personally led the Qi Xiuping Special Agent Battalion to take charge of the security work along the way. He and Shen Fengdao patrolled around and returned to An Yi, who was sleeping peacefully, and took out the documents that Gong Qian solemnly handed over to her before leaving. I opened the file carefully and found that it contained confidentiality regulations of the Central Party Committee and extremely confidential training materials. I couldn't help but sigh softly.
Shen Fengdao took out his cigarette, hesitated for a moment when lighting it with a match, then shook his head and put both the cigarette and the match back into his pocket.
Hu Jialin was surprised when he saw that Shen Fengdao, who had never smoked, broke the habit. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. He knew that Shen Fengdao had been feeling deeply guilty for An Yi's assassination, so it was not surprising that he wanted to smoke to relieve his boredom. , so he put away the files, stood up, and called Shen Fengdao out of the cabin. The two leaned against the railing of the ship, lit cigarettes, puffed away smoke, and talked in low voices.
"Huzi, has your senior brother arrived in Tianjin?" Shen Fengdao asked.
Hu Jialin nodded: "Yes, I have settled down. Within two days of arriving in Tianjin, I bought a Chinese medicine shop opened by a Cangzhou fellow in the concession for NT$5,000. I also visited some local martial arts figures and celebrities. I guess At this time, his wife and children have also arrived in Tianjin.
With the eldest brother's composure and many years of experience, I believe he will be able to take root there soon. When the few juniors who have entered the old Nanchang base for secret training complete their studies and go north, it is estimated that they will be able to officially start work by then. "
Shen Fengdao nodded: "It seems that Xiao Yi's decision is right. It is not too late to establish the North China Intelligence Station from now on, so that it will not be long before the situation in the north can enter our field of vision, especially every move of the Japanese. We can't miss it easily, otherwise problems will arise...
Hey, maybe this assassination greatly stimulated him, otherwise he wouldn't have made up his mind so quickly. Judging from his testing of Hou Wuliang a few days ago, he was completely angered by the Japanese, but I didn't expect him to be so scheming. You have been asked to set up three intelligence stations so quickly. I am afraid that these three intelligence stations will also monitor the Hou Wuliang family who have a secret mission, right?"
"It's still early. It will take at least half a year before it officially starts. During this six-month preparation period, we have to lay a solid foundation. It may come in handy in the future.
However, the greater the expectations, the greater the pressure! Even if Xiaoyi suddenly spent 50,000 yuan to let Brother Yu establish three intelligence stations in Tianjin, Peiping and Baoding, in fact, he didn’t have much confidence in this in his heart. These areas have always been It is outside the control of the National Government in the south, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. In addition, the Japanese influence is everywhere. It is really difficult to handle!
Although Xiaoyi didn't say anything, I could feel his helpless but urgent mood. This guy's scheming is getting deeper and deeper. Even I can't guess what he is thinking now. I can only try my best to prevent him from letting him go. Disappointed." After Hu Jialin finished speaking, he sighed, shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Shen Fengdao originally suspected that An Yi not only asked Hu Jialin to establish the North China Intelligence Network, but also privately commissioned Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong to set up another similar intelligence network. It is estimated that they are stationed in sensitive areas in North China through chambers of commerce or business methods, and stationed in various sensitive areas in North China. After establishing a foothold, we will slowly develop and expand. While making money, we will expand our work and expand the channels for obtaining information as much as possible.
Of course, as smart as Shen Fengdao, he would not express his suspicions. He believed that Hu Jialin must have thought of the possibility. Although An Yi did not tell the two of them his plans in detail, he definitely did not He will hide something from Hu Jialin and himself who share life and death. The reason why it is not stated now may be that An Yi thinks that the time has not come yet, or there are other reasons. When the time comes, An Yi will definitely report it in detail.
"What are you thinking about? I haven't heard you say a few words since I came back from Peking. Xiaojiu felt very uncomfortable when he saw your gloomy face. He told me several times that he wanted to apologize to you, but he didn't know. What should I say to you? He is very worried that you will blame him for the guard's negligence. The atmosphere in the guard is very strange now, and it will not be conducive to unity if it continues like this!" Hu Jialin looked at the blurry river bank under the starlight and whispered.
Shen Fengdao sighed: "No, I didn't blame him, nor did I blame the guards. In that complicated situation, even I might not be able to stop it. No matter how good our martial arts are, no matter how fast our hands and feet are, we don't have bullets." Come quickly! If you look for an opportunity later, I will give him a few words of explanation. As long as the knot in Xiaojiu's heart is gone, the guard will return to normal."
"This couldn't be better! After you go back, I'm afraid you will be even busier. Du Yi was transferred back to the base from the Nanjing Liaison Office as the intelligence section chief. It is estimated that Lao Ding will soon be removed from the security division of Jinan and transferred to the base director. Although you are unwilling to be the chief instructor of the base, I always feel that Xiaoyi will still let you share the secret training work of the base. After all, where are your skills, it would be a waste not to train a group of talents.
At the end of the month, Hutou and I will enter the General Class of the Central Military Academy for further training. We can't help if we try to share the burden. This time, more than fifty company and platoon commanders from the independent division, garrison division and security force will directly join the seventh phase of the military academy. Learn gilding, the task of troop training is very heavy, the old Nanchang base camp can only rely on you."
After Hu Jialin finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Shen Fengdao. Seeing Shen Fengdao shake his head, he refilled one himself.
Shen Fengdao turned around and moved his somewhat stiff hands and feet. Hearing the "crackling" of the joints, he felt a little more comfortable, and then he said:
"Yes, it is expected to be very busy next time. Not to mention the many affairs of old Nanchang, the military occupation of the line from Jingdezhen to Yingtan in northeastern Jiangxi is urgent. In addition, the 44th Army in western Hunan and the Shizhen Division in western Guizhou are likely to We will comprehensively rectify and improve our strength. I am afraid we will be very busy internally.
The day before yesterday, Hans and Lauter from the German firm and two Far East managers from the American firm came to visit Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi ordered four 250-ton gunboats and six patrol speedboats, as well as two 500-ton gunboats. The total purchase amount for the tonnage troop carrier, plus other manufacturing equipment, is as high as 2.5 million yuan.
Calculating this, we will formally establish our own Jiang Defense Division before the end of the year, and maybe Hu Tou or Cheng Guang will be transferred to serve as the division commander."
"Xiao Yi told Brother Yu about this. Principal Jiang has agreed to Xiao Yi's request and will establish the Poyang Lake Security Command at the beginning of next year. It will be a division-level establishment directly led by the headquarters. The headquarters is initially located in Hukou. It was also decided that Cheng Guang would serve as the garrison commander.
Another thing is that the headquarters is very likely to transfer the Hukou Fortress of the current Jiangxi Security Command to the Jiangxi Defense Command directly under the central government. For this purpose, the Central Military Commission will subsidize us and Uncle De at a time of 5 million yuan, of which 2 million will be used for The construction of Poyang Lake garrison force.
We control Poyang Lake, which means we control most of northern Jiangxi, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the water safety of Lushan Mountain, Xingzi and other areas along the lake. This is what Commander-in-Chief Chiang has long wanted to do but was too late to do. Xiao Yi came to visit the ward. After getting the news from Mrs. Chiang, he immediately seized the opportunity to make a statement, and the commander-in-chief quickly approved it orally. At this point, all of us combined are not as smart as him." Hu Jialin laughed.
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "That's true, I have always admired Xiao Yi's vision. He never does anything without profit and can always seize opportunities in fleeting moments. By the way, your Cangzhou Camp 'How's training going?"
"Basic training and political education are currently ongoing. After completing the training, together with Qi Xiuping's special agent battalion, they will be merged into the division-affiliated independent regiment added by the independent division. An internal selection will be conducted three months later to reorganize a 500-person special force. Brigade. More than half of the old brothers from the former Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Division have been enriched into brother Yang Bin's security force. If we don't seize the time to train, reorganize and quickly improve our combat effectiveness, then it won't work!
Fortunately, the location of this training is in Nanjing, which is very close to the station. I can go back and have a look at any time. Otherwise, I would really not worry. After two years of combat, I have finally seen through the problems of the special forces. This is our victory over the current domestic A magic weapon for each army, its effect far exceeds what Xiaoyi and I originally expected when we started it. The mountain brigade under the personal supervision of Hutou is an important innovation that we are ahead of other domestic armies. I believe it will be launched soon. It was promoted in Jinan’s security division and Brother Yang’s security force.” Hu Jialin was deeply touched.
Shen Fengdao nodded: "During this period, Commander-in-Chief Jiang came to visit Xiaoyi three times. The night before yesterday, he kicked everyone out. Only Mrs. Jiang and I were able to observe, and we were still talking about the Gui clan. ——After Li Delin returned to Wuhan, major adjustments immediately occurred in the Guangxi clique. Among them, Ye Qi's 12th Army quietly arrived at the Xianning line. There were signs of going south to Pingjiang. It was likely that Zhu Mao's Red Army would be defeated and leave western Jiangxi. Occupying the Hunan-Hubei border will threaten the Xiushui and Ruichang lines in northern Jiangxi. It will also monitor and contain the Second Lu Diping Army in Changsha.
Commander-in-chief Chiang asked Xiao Yi what he thought? Xiao Yi's answer was very clever. He asked the commander-in-chief to relax and said that although the Jiangxi security forces were unable to attack, they were more than capable of defending themselves. The Guangxi clique did not dare to easily enter northern Jiangxi and peek at the front line of Jiujiang. , promised that as long as the central government made up its mind, he would quickly come up with a complete response plan. Commander-in-Chief Jiang was very satisfied after hearing this. Mrs. Chiang also thought highly of Xiao Yi and repeatedly praised Anyi as the most trustworthy and trustworthy commander-in-chief. Dear student. I estimate that if this war really breaks out, the independent division will need to join the war."
Hu Jialin looked at Shen Feng and said, "Why would you tell me such a confidential matter so casually?"
"What are you talking about? I won't hide it from anyone! In fact, this is what Xiaoyi asked me to tell you. He was very worried that he would become confused after injecting morphine, and he might have fallen asleep when he saw you. Yesterday morning He repeatedly told me to find time to tell you all this. He never hides anything from you or me." Shen Fengdao scolded with a smile.
Hu Jialin sighed: "Since I decided to follow him out of Whampoa Military Academy and enter the army, I have made up my mind to never leave him for the rest of my life. At that time, I really didn't expect that I could become a general. I thought I could become a colonel. I am completely satisfied, alas... This guy can always make the brothers who follow him die without any regrets. This is a skill that even if I practice all my life, I will never be able to match it!"
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly and saw Lin Yaodong walking quickly into An Yi's cabin. He hurriedly greeted him and asked. After listening to Lin Yaodong's words, he quickly called Hu Jialin and walked to An Yi's cabin together.
An Yi had just woken up and signaled the medical staff to leave temporarily. Then he ordered everyone to sit down. After the cabin door closed, he asked in a low voice: "What time is it now?"
"It's almost dawn, and ahead is the Wuhu waters." Lin Yaodong replied in a low voice.
An Yi blinked his sour eyelids: "Injecting analgesic morphine is really not a problem. The dizziness and chest tightness that I often had some time ago are gone. I'm really worried that I will become addicted. The side effects are not ordinary. Now I have to let the young man even pee." The pretty little nurse helps, his grandma’s..."
The brothers laughed softly, and Shen Fengdao asked in a low voice: "Didn't our pharmaceutical factory also refine this kind of powder? Isn't it the kind of heroin you mentioned that is a hundred times more powerful than opium?"
"It's almost done, oops..."
Lin Yaodong quickly stepped forward and put a pillow on An Yi. An Yi took a few breaths and whispered to Du Yi, who was sitting silently in the corner: "Du Yi, please inform me of the secret message you just received."
"yes."
Du Yi, a thin man with a tall nose and deep eyes, stood up and read aloud: "The principal sent an urgent message: Hu Wendou's Sixth Army in western Jiangxi mutinied yesterday. Army Commander Hu Wendou was killed in Yongxin territory. Two of his divisions are moving to Ji'an. Another instructor is Hesitating and seemingly preparing to return to the direction of Chaling in eastern Hunan, he ordered the Nanchang garrison division and the Jin and Wang armies to quietly encircle them and disarm them all."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. An Yi said: "Did you hear that? The Sixth Army with its glorious history is now completely finished. I believe that Ji Nan also received a secret message from the principal. Huzi, Lao Shen, you and Du Yi discuss what to do. If you want to do a better job, let's give the bulk of the work to Brother Jin Handing and Brother Wang Jun. It's not easy for them to be beaten so dizzy by the Red Army. Let's just find a way to get some equipment back. Seize as many light and heavy machine guns made in Hanyang as possible. "
Hu Jialin and others immediately started discussing. Within ten minutes, Hu Jialin reported the results of the discussion to An Yi:
"Let Lao Ding lead the special brigade of the Garrison Division, and Xia Jian personally led the special agent group of the Central Jiangxi Security Command to rush to eastern Hunan to intercept it. The two main groups of the Garrison Division followed closely and quickly caught up with the instructor. After Wang Jun and Jin Handing Under the encirclement of the two armies, it is estimated that only the instructor who does not know where to go is left with some luck."
"I mean this, let's report it to Ji Nanfa." An Yi laughed.
"yes!"
Du Yi promised to walk to the communication group in the back cabin.
