Chapter 478 Days when the outside is loose and the inside is tight
Chapter 478 The days when the outside is loose and the inside is tight
After Chu'er left, An Yi finally moved into the small foreign-style building of the Central Military Academy on Huangpu Road that had been renovated and was just waiting to move in. He started regular teaching and seminars, attended various meetings of the Military Commission, and often accompanied General Jiang.
The commander met with foreign military attaches and military exchange groups. An Yi's reputation and proficient English gave him a great help, and he gradually became an eye-catching and important role in the Chinese military and political circles.
In view of the fact that An Yi drove out late at night in plainclothes several times to hang out and drink with his former instructors Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Cai Zhonghu, Mao Bingwen and others, as well as Dai Li, Hu Zongnan, Gan Lichu, He Zhonghan and other Huangpu brothers, Chiang Kai-shek, who had received many secret reports, finally couldn't bear it anymore
, severely criticized An Yi on the day before New Year's Day and issued a fatal order: It is forbidden to travel without permission!
But this so-called requirement to ask for permission to travel was a tight curse for An Yi. In the military academy, he had to ask his rigorous mentor Zhang Zhizhong for permission to leave, and at the Military Commission he had to ask Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek for permission. As a result, An Yi had to take a leave of absence after hitting the wall many times.
Tian was huddled in the military academy, unable to go anywhere. Fortunately, there were Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng who were studying in the general officer class.
Accompanied by others, as the commander of the independent division, he can also meet with the generals of the independent division who come to report for instructions. Although he is still a little bored, he is not too lonely. In addition, he can go out every Saturday night and Sunday.
I could meet old and new friends, or go to Gong Qian's house to have a drink and chat about home affairs. My life was quite leisurely.
On January 1, 1929, the long-awaited National Disarmament and Deployment Conference finally officially opened. As a staff member of the Central Deployment Committee, An Yi naturally needed to attend the meeting as a non-voting delegate and communicate with the Central Party Headquarters and the central government ministries and commissions.
More than a hundred military and political officials sat in the parliament hall, listening to Commander-in-Chief Chiang's report.
The meeting in the morning was basically a formality. After Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek finished his speech, the fair and tender Deputy Chief of Staff He Yingqin (the then Chief of Staff was Li Jishen) then announced a series of figures that proved the urgency and feasibility of current disarmament. What follows?
Song Ziwen, Minister of Finance and Governor of the Central Bank, came to the stage to speak. This young minister, who is rigorous and realistic and does not give anyone face, has just issued 30 million short-term public bonds and is providing for the country's monthly 5 million yuan.
The fiscal revenue and the expenditure of 9 million yuan were devastated and miserable. Naturally, they would not give any face to the generals who spent 7 million yuan in military expenses every month. After a cold speech, the commanders of the four group armies said,
The deputy commanders and chiefs of staff were depressed, but they also knew that the current financial situation was indeed in a very dangerous situation. Even Feng Yuxiang, as bullish as he was, could only sigh secretly and did not dare to say another witticism that satirized the central government.
The grand and grand reception luncheon was over. An Yi knew that the afternoon was the time for group discussions and that he no longer had to attend the meeting. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Sister Qian's house to have a look and learn about the things he had asked Chen Yu to do.
What's going on? Before I even left the banquet hall, I was stopped by Kang Ze and Dai Li.
In desperation, An Yi followed Kang and Dai to the small conference room of Principal Jiang at the headquarters. He was quite surprised to find dozens of Huangpu brothers gathered together, but everyone was sitting upright without saying a word, and he was not good either.
When asked what happened, I could only find a seat next to Hu Zongnan and wait patiently. After a while, Principal Jiang came, and the long-planned "Inspirational Club" finally came into being.
Commander-in-chief Chiang Kai-shek, who personally served as the president of the Inspirational Society, finished his instructions. General Huang Wenlin, the director-general, continued to speak, saying, "With the Huangpu soldiers as the backbone, inspire the revolutionary spirit, and become the most loyal party members who firmly believe in the Three People's Principles..." and so on, and spent a long time talking.
Yi Cai figured out that this was an organization that was modeled after the Japanese and American military officers' clubs. It was mainly responsible for external liaison, publicity and reception, etc. Although it was not a formal party, government, and military organization, it had to establish huge branches all over the country. Nanchang
The branch of the Inspired Society is initially set to be located in Baihuazhou. The Nanjing Inspirational Headquarters is located at the former site of Ming Taizu's Xihuayuan on the northeast side of Huangpu Road and Zhongshan East Road. Although it occupies an area of nearly 11 acres, because the Xihuayuan is already in dilapidated condition, it is estimated that
Still have to spend a lot of money
It was initially planned to build a large auditorium that could accommodate 500 people, as well as several office buildings for members to socialize, gather and entertain. Only when the member list was announced did An Yi realize that he had become the head office of the club.
One of the officers.
After the meeting was over, Chiang Kai-shek nodded to An Yi and motioned to follow him. An Yi quickly said goodbye to many brothers and sisters with jealousy and envy in their eyes, followed closely, and walked out of the conference room to the cold outside. Chiang Kai-shek did not
He got into the car and asked An Yi to accompany him for a while through the remaining snow:
"An Yi, since mid-November last year, the headquarters has appointed General Zhu Yizhi as the commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits, and Hunan Conference Office and Second Army Commander Lu Diping as the deputy commander. In the past fifty days, they have commanded the army to march into Western Jiangxi and Hunan.
The Red Army in the East not only failed to achieve any results, but also allowed the Red Army to develop more and more
The number of bandits has grown to more than 70,000 in more than a dozen counties in two provinces. The central government has spent millions of military expenditures but has achieved nothing. The banditry is getting worse and worse. It is very disappointing! A few people from the headquarters
I suggest that you go to Jiangxi and serve as the Chief of the General Staff for Suppression. What do you think?"
An Yi already knew that several senior officers at the headquarters had this proposal, and also knew the key and subtle relationship between it. He pretended to think carefully for a moment and replied in a low voice:
"The principal has an order, how dare the students disobey it? But if the students suddenly come to suppress the general at this critical moment, I am afraid that the consensus that the frontline troops have finally formed will die. Yi Gong has nothing to do with him. He has always regarded the students as his nephews.
Presumably no other bad thoughts will arise from the sudden appearance of the students, but General Lu Diping
It’s hard to talk about it. General Lu is still a general in the Guangxi camp that occupies the two lakes. It is also at the critical moment of the disarmament and reorganization meeting. If the students go to Jiangxi, what will General Li Delin and General Bai Chongxi think?
If not, they will use this as an excuse to deliberately hinder the smooth progress of the reorganization meeting, which is really not worth the gain!"
Chiang Kai-shek stopped, stared at An Yi for a moment, nodded slightly, and said appreciatively:
"It makes sense. It can be seen that you have the overall situation in mind. You did not attend yesterday's special meeting on suppressing bandits. Deputy Commander He Jingzhi also put forward similar opinions to yours. Although he did not say it as clearly as you, his meaning was completely
We all agree that it would be inappropriate to send you there. How about the headquarters?
A veteran quarreled with him on the spot, thinking that it would be most appropriate for you to go. Now it seems that your opinion is worth considering. We can't lose the big for the small, so let's throw this problem to Li Delin and let him send someone from Wuhan.
Go and shut his mouth."
"Principal Mingjian!" An Yi replied with a smile.
Chiang Kai-shek took another step forward: "How is the situation of the company that your senior brother Yu sent to the independent division for training?"
"Together with the Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Division, we are still in the mountainous area of eastern Hubei hundreds of miles away to the west. I received a telegram the day before yesterday saying that two people fell to death while climbing. It seems that almost half of the officers and soldiers were eliminated, but the remaining
The seventy people are all good, and they will be able to return to Senior Brother Yu's security brigade next month to take charge of their own duties." An Yi said it easily, as if such an accident was normal.
Chiang Kai-shek knew that the special training of the Independent Division was extremely cruel, and he also knew the high price and hard work the Independent Division had to pay for this. Unfortunately, such an elite unit was too expensive. He was unable to promote it to the entire army, so he could only
He sighed helplessly and nodded to express his understanding, then changed the topic to another matter: "Has Minister Song discussed with you the preparation of the tax police group?"
"We talked about it twice. Minister Song really wanted to go to the independent division to see the training situation of the independent regiment and the model camp in person. The students agreed according to the principal's wishes, but Minister Song said that it would be difficult to raise enough funds for a while.
To set up funds, the student suggested that he first set up a pilot project in Shanghai, set up a group to see the effect, and assist the customs and taxation departments in cracking down on illegal activities such as smuggling and tax evasion. The specific method will ultimately be decided by Minister Song." An Yi replied.
.
Chiang Kai-shek said "hmm" and asked with a half-smile: "He didn't urge you to pay taxes?"
An Yi grinned: "Why not? He warned the students very seriously, saying that if they don't pay taxes again, they will inspect all cargo ships from Nanchang and Hukou at Wusongkou, and inspect the tungsten ore produced in Jiangxi
, wooden furniture, ramie fabrics, hardware tools, bearings, bicycles and other thirty-eight categories of goods are levied double export taxes, which makes the students speechless. He wants to explain a few words but he doesn't want to listen. It feels quite uncomfortable.
"
Chiang Kai-shek laughed heartily: "Haha, I knew he would rush you! You two are really like enemies sometimes! But you have also heard the report this morning. Now the government's fiscal deficit is huge, and he
This is also to maintain the normal operation of the entire central government! By the way, didn't you tell him that you privately spent a huge sum of three million marks to purchase military technology and expand the Jiangnan Arsenal?"
"The student didn't say it. I believe Minister Song will be able to see from the arsenal's report next month that Minister Song is extremely open-minded and far-sighted in terms of the introduction of technology and advanced equipment. The student can only wait for Minister Song to grasp it himself.
, If I defend myself too much, I'm really afraid that he will call the student cunning and a complete profiteer again." After An Yi finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled from ear to ear: "You are so considerate, and you always like to take care of other people's ideas. You win my heart, you win my heart! Speaking of which, I can't blame him, and I can't blame you. I have to blame you."
It’s just that the current situation is corrupt. Sometimes even I wish I could split the ocean into two pieces. I believe he will soon understand your approach.”
"Thank you, principal!" An Yi thanked him promptly.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "The Party Committee of the Military Academy reported to me that in order to cultivate talents, they proposed that you serve as the deputy secretary of the Party in the Military Academy, but you repeatedly declined. What's going on?"
"Principal, students feel that they have always been leaders. Now they are very nervous to serve as chief instructors of military schools, let alone others? There are more and more instructors from various countries. My colleagues and seniors either graduated from mainland universities or returned from studying abroad.
Outstanding student, student resource
I am afraid that I will mislead others with my shallow experience! Besides, I might go to the front line one day. Instead of occupying an important position within the party, it would be better to let someone with more ability and qualifications take over the responsibility of the military academy.
Construction and continuity are both more beneficial." An Yi explained.
"Um……"
Chiang Kai-shek snorted noncommittally: "Someone reported to me that your attitude towards the two Japanese instructors is very problematic. They saluted you several times, but you just turned away and pretended not to notice. Is there such a thing?
?”
An Yi admitted honestly: "It is true, but there is a reason. On the second day after the two Japanese instructors were transferred from the Army University, the students gave in. The instructor took a piece of paper to ask them for advice, asking them what the Japanese soldiers were doing.
What is the difference between the leather magazine behind the back and the two in front of the waist? They did not answer truthfully, but lied that they were the same, so the students were very suspicious of their sincerity and even more suspicious of their purpose of coming here."
Chiang Kai-shek stopped in surprise, stared into An Yi's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"
"Principal, the students learned from a lieutenant colonel in the Cavalry Division of General Zhang Chengzhu who had just returned from studying at the Japanese Military Academy. Many years ago, a Japanese instructor at the former Baoding Military Academy was ordered to have a caesarean section after he returned home because he revealed the secret of the bullets carried by Japanese soldiers.
Committed suicide, and this secret is nothing, just some Japanese soldiers with excellent shooting skills
Soldier, the rifle bullets placed in the third leather magazine behind him are special bullets. These bullets fly stably and are more destructive. They are specially used to hunt important targets of the opponent, such as commanders. Moreover, the Japanese army seems to have
There were signs of promoting this practice, so the students did not believe that the two officers from the Japanese army did not understand this.
Secondly, the students listened to their tactics class twice, and the level was too poor. Many of the explanations tended to be misleading. The students thought that it was not that the two were lacking in skills, but that they were insincere. Compared with those who had high standards but paid great attention to academics.
The British instructors are far behind, so I have no choice but to dislike them. Students cannot learn those polite skills of making excuses, so they can do whatever they want. If there is anything wrong, please ask the principal to criticize."
An Yi told a big story, which was enough to attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention.
Chiang Kai-shek took a step slowly, stepping on the thin snow and making a slight chirping sound. He looked up to the sky and thought for a long time before nodding and sighing slightly:
"Those who are not from my race must have different minds! But we still need to maintain necessary interactions. Just do as you like. Just don't let your mentor and I get too embarrassed. We also let the Japanese know the arrogance of our Huangpu soldiers.
, it’s up to you what to do.”
"yes!"
"On Sunday the 6th, your wife invited you to go to church and have a meal together... By the way, how long has it been since you went to church?"
"Ah? This...student...student also forgot."
"Haha! You hypocrite..." Chiang Kai-shek pointed at An Yi and laughed and cursed.
An Yi chuckled and thought, don't talk about me. If you hadn't wanted to marry Song Meiren, you probably wouldn't have joined Christianity. We are the same, so don't laugh at the other.
…
At dawn, there were shouts of slogans and bursts of footsteps on the playground of the Central Military Academy. An Yi, who had been jogging for a week, followed behind the team of engineers and soldiers, and like all the students, ran around the field ten times in full gear.
When hundreds of students saw An Yi joining their team, they were all in high spirits. The district captain who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu also shouted loudly and ran faster than usual. The exhausted An Yi always followed closely, passing over one after another laggards.
The students persisted until the end. The students and instructors admired An Yi who had just recovered from a serious injury. Before they could come up to greet him, An Yi had already been called away by Zhang Zhizhong.
Walking to the edge of the playground, Zhang Zhi pointed with his middle finger at the ice edges under the eaves and the surrounding snow. He severely criticized An Yi for his rashness and ordered that An Yi be prohibited from participating in the students' morning exercises for a month. At most, he could only jog on the edge to warm up and recover.
An Yi humbly accepted his confession in a low voice, but he disagreed with it in his heart. With his excellent physique, running these few kilometers meant nothing. As long as he broke through the physical limit little by little, he would be able to return to normal levels in less than a month.
However, An Yi still overestimated his ability. He was only halfway through analyzing the contents of the Battle of Kunshan to the general class in the afternoon. Beads of sweat immediately poured out of his forehead and neck, and his chest and back were wet. An Yi could only
Feeling that my mouth was dry and my head was dizzy, I reluctantly wrote three questions on the blackboard for everyone to discuss. Then I sat down on the chair on the podium and opened my heavy eyelids with difficulty.
The major generals sitting in the front row were shocked and rushed to help An Yi and asked what was wrong? Adjutant Shen Fengdao, who had been sitting in the back row silently listening to the lectures every time, strode over. After taking the pulse, he rushed over to Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng and others who caught up.
Together, they lifted up the dazed An Yi and ran to the school hospital. The doctor took his temperature and checked in detail, and found that
An Yi's high fever reached 40.2 degrees Celsius, which immediately frightened a group of generals and military doctors. They determined that An Yi's old injuries had not healed, his body was weak, and the cold caused the high fever. He needed to be sent to the Army General Hospital for treatment. The military academy's vehicles were very busy.
He quickly drove An Yi and the guards to Panlong Road Army General Hospital for treatment.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had just finished the meeting, was shocked when he received an emergency report from the military academy. He personally called the director's office of the Army General Hospital to inquire about An Yi's condition. He felt better after learning that although An Yi was unconscious with a high fever, he was not in any danger of life.
After talking to An Yi for a while, he carefully warned her to put down the phone, and then sent an attendant to visit him. He thought that An Yi's illness meant that his plan to go to the church to worship together tomorrow was in vain.
In the evening, Gong Qian couldn't wait for An Yi to come back for dinner, so she called Chen Yu to ask. After learning that An Yi was hospitalized with a high fever, she was very anxious and immediately asked the driver from the office to drive over to take her to the hospital.
Chen Yu put down the phone and thought about it, and decided to drive Gong Qian to the hospital in person to see how the boss was doing. Half an hour later, the two met with Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng and others. Gong Qian learned that An Yi was now in poor health.
Only when everything was fine, the big stone in my heart finally settled.
Gong Qian knew that Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng had to return to Jiangbei Military Camp every Sunday to inspect the work of the Independent Division and deal with the backlog of various affairs, so she gently advised them to go back first. She and Adjutant Shen were here at the hospital.
It's okay if Xiaojiu and others are here.
Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng knew that they could not help much by staying, so they had no choice but to leave the hospital together in Chen Yu's car after thanking them.
