On October 22, An Yi finally returned to Nanjing. Out of anger at the weaklings in the Nationalist Government and disappointment at Chiang Kai-shek's lack of resistance, An Yi did not go directly to see Chiang Kai-shek as before, but returned to Houzai Lane.
His lair handles a mountain of urgent tasks.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was worried about the Guangdong government, had no time to wait for An Yi's inspection report. He took a plane to Shanghai before noon and started bargaining with Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, who had finally reached a preliminary mutual understanding under the pretext of "together in times of crisis".
of negotiations.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek, who flew back to Nanjing from Shanghai with nothing to gain, entered the office in a depressed mood. Before he could take a drink of water, Xu Enzeng, who was in charge of party affairs investigation, quietly arrived and delivered an urgent report to Chiang Kai-shek.
After reading the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek frowned: "Who is in charge of Jiujiang's defense and public security maintenance?"
"General Jingzhi's Third Brigade of the Garrison Division, the brigade commander is Dong Qihui, the former head of the training regiment of the Central Jiangxi Garrison Command." Xu Enzeng's answer was concise and to the point.
Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and remembered: "Oh, this Dong Qihui is an old man from Huangpu III. He is from Haizhou, Jiangsu. He has relatively rich experience among the generals who have followed An Yi. This time, after the Central Jiangxi Security Command announced its voluntary disbandment, he
Led a brigade of troops to join the garrison division of the old commander He Jingzhi, and was promoted to major general brigade with exception.
Chief... With his ability, how could he not be able to maintain law and order in the Jiujiang area? Nowadays, the Japanese are arrogant and pushy, and the government is in a state of panic. At this critical moment, we have allowed dozens of Japanese nationals in Jiujiang to be looted by thugs. Who knows?
How can we face the Japanese’s questioning if we don’t even know what we are doing?”
Xu Enzeng replied in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates judge that the Communist Party did it."
Chiang Kai-shek changed his mind, nodded and sighed: "We can only frame it to the Communist Party. However, you should immediately send an inquiry telegram to Nanchang Xingying and ask them what they did? In the past few months, various
Criminal cases are emerging one after another. The Communist Party has openly posted reactionary slogans all over Nanchang City. What do they do for food? This was unimaginable before. Ask He Jingzhi how he suppressed the bandits and went back more and more?"
"Commander-in-Chief, please calm down. The entire central Gansu garrison headed by Xia Jian resigned and dispersed in an instant. There was a vacancy in the military and police force in Nanchang and the surrounding major counties and towns, which allowed the Communist Party and the Red Bandit Army to take advantage of the situation and move in with great arrogance. Although my subordinates felt that although
The camp in Nanchang needs to bear certain responsibilities, but the former Ganzhong garrison also needs to bear responsibilities." Xu Enzeng boldly expressed his opinion.
Chiang Kai-shek patted his forehead and shook his head helplessly: "Had I known it would have such negative consequences, I should not have approved He Jingzhi and Yang Changqing's suggestions. This time they have completely offended An Yi and many of his old subordinates.
, to turn Nanchang, a region that has always been politically stable and where taxes have increased year after year, into an embarrassing situation where red bandits are rampant and all industries are retrogressing. The gains outweigh the losses... Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate. "
Xu Enzeng saw that Chiang Kai-shek had seen through his thoughts at a glance, and he quickly stepped forward and said cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates have no doubt about General An Yi's loyalty. If General An has any major shortcomings, it is his loyalty to Japan."
People always insist on a tough attitude, but
The events that have happened one after another seem to prove more and more that General An's predictions and warnings are correct. The Japanese are indeed encroaching on us step by step and barbarically invading us. Now they want to split our land and divide the Northeast into another country. Their wolfish ambitions
It's no secret.
I secretly thought that with General An's character, as long as the Commander-in-Chief opened his mouth, let An Yi recruit and train several divisions for the Commander-in-Chief, not to mention the security forces of several brigades in Jiangxi, General An would surely obey the order, but now in order to establish
A mere Nanchang garrison completely offended General An, and made many generals in the army feel frightened and everyone felt in danger. It is indeed as the commander-in-chief said, the gain outweighs the loss!
The subordinates feel that Mr. Yang Changqing is not unaware of the feud between General He Jingzhi and General An, but Mr. Changqing still encourages and supports General He Jingzhi to do this. It is very puzzling that a good Nanchang area has now become like this.
The decline of chaos is really heartbreaking!”
Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Xu Enzeng, said no more, and waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
Xu Enzeng bowed with his legs crossed and said goodbye in a low voice, without any fear in his heart. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek already understood the irreconcilable contradiction between his CC department and Yang Yongtai's political science department. His remarks just now might have made Chiang Kai-shek mistakenly believe that
His CC department is taking the opportunity to attack political opponents again, but Xu En
Zeng had no worries at all. He knew that as long as he seized any opportunity to attack Yang Yongtai continuously, he and his cousins, the Chen brothers, would one day achieve the goal of defeating their political opponents. Even if Chiang Kai-shek had objections to him because of this, the Chen brothers
And many CC series veterans will also relieve their worries.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not blame Xu Enzeng for taking the opportunity to attack his dissidents. Instead, he signed a few documents and dismissed the secretary to meditate alone. In the current embarrassing situation of internal and external difficulties, his status was severely challenged and his prestige was greatly reduced, but he could not find anyone.
come up with any solution
The conflicts within the party were split between divisions and external aggression, and the large-scale encirclement and suppression wars he personally participated in failed without success and suffered repeated defeats, losing troops and generals. The Communist army not only was not defeated but grew stronger. At this time, no one could share his worries. He valued
He Yingqin,
Liu Zhi, Chen Cheng and others suffered consecutive defeats, and they were all disgraced. It was rare to see even half a smile around him. All this made Chiang Kai-shek involuntarily think of his favorite disciple and the wise and courageous general An Yi. However, An Yi supported him.
Chiang Kai-shek personally decided to go to Europe and the United States for inspection.
Chiang Kai-shek personally agreed to carve up An Yi's old troops and restrict An Yi's development and growth. Under such circumstances, can he still have the allegiance of An Yi, a good student with great military exploits and absolute obedience? Can he still have strong financial resources?
, is the wise and courageous An Yi sincerely serving his life?
Chiang Kai-shek didn't know the answer, especially since An Yi arrived in Shanghai last night and returned to Nanjing this morning without asking for an audience as usual, so Chiang Kai-shek had to worry about An Yi's subtle changes. He became more and more aware of An Yi's importance and influence.
It was exactly what he needed desperately, but now Chiang Kai-shek didn't have much confidence that he had everything under control.
Chiang Kai-shek slowly raised his head: "Come in...Ji Shi, An Yi is back, did you know?"
"The students already knew about it. At noon, Junior Brother An called the students to greet them and said that he was sorry for leaving in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. The students asked him to come out to get together in the evening. He replied that he was in poor health after wandering at sea for a month.
The fever has not gone away these days, so I can only rest at home. It is estimated that his adjutant has gone to the staff headquarters to ask for leave on his behalf." Yu Jishi answered honestly.
Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly: "Low fever? It's such a good time to be sick..."
"Principal, would you like the students to visit Junior Brother An at his home?" Yu Jashi asked for instructions.
Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "No, you give him a call tonight and tell him that I am very concerned about his condition."
"Yes! Students resign."
Yu Jishi saluted and turned to leave.
"etc."
When Chiang Kai-shek stopped Yu Ji, when he came back and stopped, he asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about An Yi quietly moving many factories to southern Sichuan in batches? What do you think of this?"
Yu Jishi thought for a while and replied: "Students know a little, but it is said that a lot of equipment is sold to Yunnan and Xiangxi, rather than being relocated. After several years of operation and transportation in Xiangxi, industry, commerce, and agriculture have grown steadily. Since this year, a medium-sized aluminum mine and a
It is normal for the two iron mines to increase investment to stimulate development; after Zhu Yigong took charge of the military administration of Yunnan, he formed a joint governance team
Yunnan is quite united, especially in developing the economy and supporting people's livelihood. Yunnan is determined and moves very quickly. They continue to use various advanced mining and smelting equipment implemented in old Nanchang and urgently need professional expertise in this area.
It's understandable that the talents are there. Currently, the only one in the country that can help them is Junior Brother An's Jiangnan Group, which is understandable from an economic point of view.
There is another reason that Junior Brother An did not say, but students can detect it through long time together. Junior Brother An predicted that a large-scale all-out war will occur between China and Japan, and with our national strength and military level, we can only parry it, at least
In the initial stage of the war, the overall situation was not at all
There was no way to fight back, so Junior Brother An moved his important strategic factories to the west. Perhaps it was a planned and step-by-step action on his part. However, the negative effects of his gradual abandonment of Nanchang were too obvious, both for the industry and commerce of the provinces and for the military.
All have a certain negative impact.”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded in relief: "Okay, let's go back."
"yes!"
At night, after the meeting, An Yi was still reading reports and thinking about countermeasures in his study. He was very disgusted with the fact that the central government and Chiang Kai-shek placed all their hopes of solving the Northeast problem on the mediation of the League of Nations and the British and American countries. One country and one nation
It is an extremely sad thing to be unable to control one's own destiny and decide one's own actions. The motherland, which has been weak for a long time, makes An Yi worried but powerless.
At this critical moment of national calamity, An Yi is eager to lead his elite divisions to a good fight with the Japanese army. Through an all-out battle, all soldiers and civilians can reverse their pessimistic and fearful mood and establish resolute resistance and defense.
Confidence in the dignity of the country and the nation.
Under the current internal and external troubles, the best way to resolve conflicts is to fight a war and inflict pain on the Japanese. Domestic forces can temporarily abandon their conflicts by sharing the same hatred of the enemy and facing the national crisis, and unite with the outside world. Foreign forces with ulterior motives will also
I am worried about the brave resistance of the Chinese military and civilians. No matter from which perspective, the foreign war against foreign humiliation has only benefits and no harm to China at present. Anyway, it has reached the worst level now. No matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse.
.
However, if you want to fight a good battle, you must get the support of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the entire army. Otherwise, even if An Yi has great determination and his soldiers have the most determined spirit of sacrifice, they will not be able to fight this battle. Therefore, An Yi
After Yi sorted out his thoughts, he could only sit down calmly and focus all his energy on how to achieve his goal as soon as possible.
Familiar footsteps came clearly. An Yi closed the file, put on his coat and walked to the door. He welcomed Gong Qian with excitement on his face into the study: "Sister, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I wanted to see you when I got back from working overtime in the evening. I heard from Xiao Wan that you were still in the meeting, so I was waiting... Come, let me take a good look at you... I'm thin, thin and black, I must have been at sea." Gong
Qian gently smoothed An Yi's hair lovingly.
An Yi grabbed Gong Qian's beautiful hand and pulled her to the sofa to sit down: "Sister, you must be in trouble, right?"
Gong Qian smiled slightly, wiped the fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and asked in a low voice: "Did you do the looting of the Japanese overseas Chinese in Jiujiang and the Jiujiang branch of Japan Zhengjin Bank?"
An Yi was shocked, but his face was filled with surprise: "What's wrong? How could such a thing happen? Wasn't Jiujiang always peaceful before?"
Gong Qian stared at An Yi's eyes for a long time, and then nodded and said: "It's okay, this is a big deal, let alone how the Japanese will be furious, the robbery of more than 6 million yuan is the largest robbery in the Republic of China.
