The headquarters of the Yiling camp is heavily guarded. For several days, the smiling generals have looked serious and solemn. Everyone tried to do as much as possible to share An Yi's heavy burden. They were also cautious when entering and leaving the headquarters, and they did not dare to
Make loud noises.
Although An Yi was ill and unable to hold various meetings, thanks to the good habits and clear division of labor that he had developed over a long period of time, the chief officers of each department consciously shouldered their responsibilities, and did not try their best to discuss and deal with matters that were beyond their scope of authority.
Everything in the command center is running nervously and orderly.
In An Yi's bedroom in the east wing, Vice President of Jiangnan Hospital Cruze, Professor of Surgery Alfred, and Professor of Internal Medicine Sandro put away the diagnostic tools in their hands and looked at each other. Cruze shook his head and smiled bitterly, shrugged and asked An Yi
road:
"Ann, you are as strong as a cow. You have no other illnesses except for some mild inflammation of your throat. Can you tell us what's going on?"
An Yi blushed and replied apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kruse, I'm sorry to the two professors. I have to pretend to be sick because I don't want to participate in the civil war. Please help me hide it. I can just find any illness to deal with it."
…I’m really sorry! I didn’t expect to trouble you all to come from Nanchang. I really didn’t know it would be like this before. Please forgive me!”
"Pah——"
The old Taoist slapped An Yi on the head, bulging his eyes and shaking his beard: "When I came in, I knew your grandson was pretending to be sick. If it hadn't been for Dean Ke's panic and insistence on checking, I would have thought
I’m going to beat you up! Do you think it’s easy for me to rush here day and night? There are so many things going on at home that I can’t keep busy, but you have the intention to scare people..."
"No no! General Lao, General An's reasons are very good. Although it is a hard trip, we can all understand him. General, please don't blame him. It is very likely that General An's decision is right." Alfred comforted the old man kindly.
.
The old Taoist smiled coquettishly at the three foreign professors, and immediately changed his expression when he turned to An Yi. An Yi quickly sat up, buttoned up his clothes, and ordered Xiaojiu to serve tea and asked repeatedly about the situation of Jiangnan Hospital and Medical College.
As the deputy dean of the medical school, Kruse, Alfred and Sandro are both professors of the school. When An Yi asked about the rapid development of Jiangnan Hospital and medical school, he immediately became energetic. The hospital has become a national
It is the largest first-class medical institution and has won awards from the World Health Organization and other achievements.
The old Taoist was sitting there drinking tea and getting angry, but he couldn't help but get involved in the middle of the conversation. When he was talking proudly, he kept stroking his beard and raising his chin.
The five of them talked about dinner in the afternoon before stopping. After dinner, the three of Kruse went to the camp's medical team to guide the work. They were busy until late at night before taking a shower and resting. Lao Shoudao took the time to discuss with An Yi behind closed doors until dawn.
Only then did he, three professors, and the guards quietly board the ship and leave.
On the morning of the next day, news of An Yi's diagnosis spread throughout Yichang City. All the soldiers and kind-hearted people in the army breathed a sigh of relief. The exact news from the headquarters was:
General An's illness was triggered by overwork and old injuries. With the joint diagnosis and treatment of famous Chinese and foreign doctors, General An's condition has been restored. He needs to rest for several months to recover slowly, and he cannot be overtired again to aggravate his condition.
In the evening, He Guoguang, the new deputy director of the camp, Gong Qian and other more than ten officials boarded the Yichang military dock. Accompanied by Yin Jinan and other generals, they hurriedly boarded the car and rushed to the Yiling camp in the north of the city.
After receiving the emergency report, An Yi quickly lifted up the little apricot blossom that was playing non-stop on her belly, and Gululu got up and took off her clothes and socks:
"Xinghua, go back and write with Uncle Wu quickly. Tell your mother to boil the herbal medicine right away. I'll ask Uncle Wu to get it later. Go ahead!"
"When will we continue talking about Little Red Riding Hood? When will Grandma Wolf be so mean-spirited?" Little Xinghua cooed reluctantly.
"Little Ancestor, if you keep nagging me for a while, I will become Little Red Riding Hood. I will tell you tomorrow...Wu Jie, please send the little apricot flowers back." An Yi lay back on the bed and told Xiao Jiu to quickly bring the quilt and start making pots.
Come with hot water and a towel.
Xiaojiu shook his head repeatedly and turned around to go out. Wu Jie, the guard, also hugged little Xinghua, who was waving goodbye frequently, and rushed to the backyard to hand it over to her mother.
An Yi lay on the bed and let out a sigh of relief, looking at the ceiling, feeling extremely apologetic. He did not expect that a thoughtless act of anger would cause such a big stir. Not only did he alarm his sister, but he also brought his old man, who had just resigned as a member of the Hubei Provincial Committee and returned to Nanjing, to death.
Senior He Guoguang is in trouble. After thinking about it, I feel very uncomfortable, but the situation has reached a point where it is difficult to get off the road, so I can only continue to "hum and haw" regardless of my conscience.
He Guoguang, Gong Qian and other five officials hurriedly entered An Yi's bedroom amidst the salutes of the guards. They saw An Yi taking off the wet towel from his forehead with difficulty, half-opening his eyes, his face red but struggling to sit up, and hurriedly got up.
He held An Yi down and told him not to be polite and to take a good rest.
Gong Qian's eyes were flushed and she bit her lower lip. She silently walked to An Yi's bedside, took the wet towel in his hand, put it in the basin, scrubbed it carefully and twisted it half dry. She folded it and carefully placed it on An Yi's forehead.
.
He Guoguang and several attachés behind him greeted An Yi repeatedly and conveyed the condolences of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Vice-Chairman Ge, the President of the Fifth Academy and Tan Yankai, etc. Finally, they smiled kindly and asked An Yi if he welcomed his arrival.
?An Yi has long wanted to have a civil servant to take charge of the complicated civil affairs and the reception and delivery, so he thanked He Guoguang very sincerely, thanking each senior one by one, which made He Guoguang and his entourage smile.
General Yin Jinan and other generals were entrusted by An Yi to lead He Guoguang and his entourage to the government office for a rest. From then on, they took over An Yi's military and civil affairs, disaster relief and resettlement, foreign exchanges, epidemic prevention and control and other affairs. An Yi was only responsible for the area under his jurisdiction.
The leadership and command of the garrison.
Gong Qian saw An Yi let out a long breath, and quickly leaned down with concern, asking what was wrong with An Yi.
An Yi looked around, waved away his followers in the room, suddenly took off the wet towel on his head and sat up, lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Gong Qian in a low voice.
Gong Qian was startled at first, and then she held An Yi's hand in relief and put it against her face. Her lips trembled and she cried with joy: "You scared my sister to death... As long as it's okay, it's okay! You know
How many people are worried about you..."
"sister……"
"It's okay, I don't blame you..."
Gong Qian pulled the wet towel from An Yi's hand and wiped away her tears: "It's okay, sister, I can come out to relax and stay with you for a few more days so that you won't be so tired. Although you have nothing to do, you still have such a heavy burden to bear.
On your shoulders, it is rare for you to have a day off. Your bad-tempered sister knows that when there is business, she is often busy for days and nights. If she doesn't eat well or sleep well, she will fall ill sooner or later. "
An Yi put on his shirt in shame: "I'm so sorry, I'm confused. I hope I don't let Uncle De, Wu Ma and many relatives and friends worry too much. I will ask the staff to send a telegram to my seniors to say that they are safe, otherwise I will feel guilty.
It’s so hard!”
Gong Qian walked to the table, took out a letter from her small suitcase and handed it to An Yi: "This is what Yi Gong asked my sister to give to you."
An Yi opened the letter and read it, looking up and sighing: "Uncle De understands me. He is full of care between the lines and tells me not to worry. Uncle De sees the current situation more clearly than I do! In this case, I just need to take a good rest."
Time, maybe I will be transferred back to Nanjing soon."
Gong Qian stretched out her white hand and gently combed An Yi's messy hair: "Whether you transfer it back or not, you have to have a good rest during this period. The highly respected Senior He is in charge of the camp, so don't worry, not to mention that because of the Central Plains
When the war breaks out again, not many victims will be able to escape, and the work of camping will be reduced a lot. My brother, do you know what the people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River think of you?"
"How do you evaluate it? Isn't it just that I donated some money and people were grateful?" An Yi grabbed a cigarette from the bedside table.
Gong Qian grabbed An Yi's hand, gently took away the cigarette matches in his hand and put them back: "Stop smoking, it's not good for your health, and you should try to smoke less in the future... In fact, the people's hearts are bright, no
You will be grateful to a person for no reason, and you will not support a person from the bottom of your heart for no reason.
Therefore, it is not your money that supports you and respects you, but your concern for the country and the people, your real actions, and the survival of hundreds of thousands of people who benefited from the disaster, so that all people can see your character and spirit.
.Brother, don’t take these things lightly, cherish them even more. No amount of money can buy people’s hearts.”
"Compared with the increasingly serious famine, the little money I have to import food is of no use at all. But at this time, the warlords still don't care about the life and death of the people, and they still want to fight for their own fame and interests. This is why I am very
I hate the place, so I want to get the opportunity to lead the troops and use my best ability to promote the end of the civil war as soon as possible. Alas... Now it seems that this wish is difficult to come true for a while. Principal Jiang did not think about his younger brother, or had no intention of reusing his younger brother.
.
In fact, I don't care at all whether I am the camp director or not. What I care about is that I have a powerful army under my command, which can deter those warlords who brazenly launch a civil war regardless of the lives of the people. I will make every effort to curb the development and growth of local warlords in all aspects, including using violence to suppress them.
Otherwise it will be difficult to achieve without violent means of war. These days, without military power, I am nothing. This is the biggest feeling I have had since I joined the army."
An Yi had a lot of emotions and was still upset about not getting a bigger military position.
Gong Qian thought for a while and asked with a serious face: "Brother, do you really want to participate in the civil war in the Central Plains that has just begun?"
"Sister, do you think that in this situation, I still have a choice?" An Yi asked.
Gong Qian shook her head: "The whole people are against the war. Although your President Jiang currently takes the initiative, don't forget that Wang Zhaoming and other party elders are reorganizing the largest reorganization faction in the party and using the reason of opposing the war to establish their own Central Committee. This is
We gave General Feng Huanzhang, General Yan Xishan, and General Li Delin a chance. Political divisions and chaos cannot only be solved by war. Why not stop and have a good talk? This is what I can't figure out."
An Yi sighed: "Sister, you also know that I don't care about any doctrine or belief, I only care about the interests of the country and the people. However, how many people in the world really care about the interests of the country and the people? Based on this alone, I will
I believe that the current war is unavoidable and if we don't fight to the death to determine the winner, the country will never have peace and will return to the state of separatism before the Northern Expedition, and will have to endure the oppression and humiliation of the great powers and warlords."
Gong Qian sighed slightly: "However, your illness has now become known to the whole country. It will be difficult for you to go out to lead troops in the short term, unless you admit to the outside world that you are pretending to be ill."
An Yi lay down heavily in pain: "Who would have thought that talking out of anger would turn out like this? It's over! I can only pretend to be real and continue to pretend to be sick..."
Gong Qian smiled sweetly: "This is good so that my sister can stay with you for a few more days. Thinking of the days when you were on the battlefield, my sister is worried day and night!"
