At ten o'clock in the evening, An Yi, who attended Principal Chiang's family dinner, returned home with a full load.
Principal Chiang's family dinner was exquisite but not luxurious, and the meal time was not long. The reason why An Yi came back at ten o'clock was because he held more than two hours of discussions with Chiang Kai-shek and Kong Xiangxi after dinner, including the Songhu battlefield and public opinion issues.
, the personnel issues that are about to be adjusted in the military, the establishment of the 24th Army and the Southern Sichuan Guard Force, and the issue of how the rapidly developing industry and commerce in Western Hunan and Southern Sichuan can achieve joint complementarity with Zhu Peide's Yunnan.
Nowadays, An Yi has won the trust of Chiang Kai-shek, or it is more appropriate to say that he values and relies on him. An Yi's rapid retreat and his usual unrestrained and free-spirited attitude finally made Chiang Kai-shek completely relieved, perhaps out of apology and respect for the generals.
With the expectation of the development of the southwest, Chiang Kai-shek and Kong Xiangxi gave An Yi great autonomy in economic interests, including extending the tax holiday in western Hunan until the end of next year to facilitate the counties in southern Sichuan that also belong to the tax holiday to keep pace. It also gave Zhang Hongluan and
A substantial commendation for the officers and men of the 44th Army.
Furthermore, An Yi, who cherished feathers very much, couldn't stand the negative criticism from public opinion, and he demanded a counterattack as soon as possible. Chiang Kai-shek and Kong Xiangxi both agreed with An Yi's opinion. Chiang Kai-shek made it clear that during this sensitive period of armistice negotiations, if there is no unity,
, there is no mainstream voice expressing the sincere unity of the Chinese government and the military and the will of the same enemy. It is not beneficial to the negotiations or to unifying the ideological consciousness of the Chinese people. Instead, it will allow the left-wing forces to fish in troubled waters and gang up to attack the country.
The party is of no help at all.
Gong Qian was staying in the study with Ye Qing, whispering, when she heard An Yi's familiar footsteps, she quickly stopped talking.
Gong Qian stood up and greeted her with a smile, but Ye Qing quickly adjusted his clothes and hair while no one was paying attention, quietly exhaled, and looked angry with a straight face.
An Yi was a little surprised when he saw Ye Qing, so he said "haha" and sat opposite Ye Qing, staring at Ye Qing's pretty face pretending to be angry without any scruples:
"No wonder my eyes were twitching when I was reporting at President Jiang's residence just now. It turns out that the enemy is coming. This premonition is really good!"
"Shut up! Who is your enemy? I don't even care." Ye Qing didn't even look at An Yi.
"That's good. I feel relieved after hearing Sister Qing's words!"
An Yi's rather rogue appearance made Ye Qing furious, but An Yi didn't care. He continued proudly: "I have to report something to Sister Qing. Zi Quan took the transport of the Poyang Lake Marine Police Division yesterday morning.
The boat rushed from Nanjing to Hukou, and then transferred to two newly launched patrol boats from the Southern Sichuan Security Command to go to Xufu. It was considered joining the army, haha! As for Zixin, I heard that you left in person, Director Xu Enzeng
They sent her to the party headquarters’ radio training class through the back door, right? It seems that your old man and your mother couldn’t defeat these two passionate young men, and finally agreed to let them join the army.”
Ye Qing suddenly slapped An Yi on the back of his hand and could no longer maintain his pretense of reserve: "What my parents and family are most worried about is Zi Quan. Tell me, how are you going to use him? Will he go to the front line?"
An Yi grabbed Ye Qing's slender hand, feeling the smoothness like jade, and patted it comfortingly: "Don't worry, Ziquan is a talent, how could I let him go to the front line so easily? This time he went to the southwest rear area,
He will not leave Sichuan for at least two years. During this period, if your father-in-law wants to visit his precious son, he will have to make a hard trip to southern Sichuan."
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and found that An Yi was holding his hand. After breaking away, he glared at him: "Tell me! What position did you arrange for him?"
"The captain instructor of the Xufu Aviation School and the Southern Sichuan Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and also serves as a practical position in the new brigade of the 24th Army. The military rank will be captain for the time being... Don't look at my little brother like that, okay?" An Yi chuckled.
"New brigade? Real duty? What's going on?" Ye Qing was very anxious. Gong Qian handed the teacup to An Yi and sat next to Ye Qing, holding her hand and looking at An Yi with a smile.
An Yi asked: "I remember that I broke my leg on the Songhu battlefield. Because I led my troops to bravely attack the Japanese tanks and turned the tide, I was awarded the third-class Baoding Medal by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek personally in his bed.
Tu Zhirong who was promoted to major general?"
"Remember! I was the one doing the comprehensive report. I really can't tell that this fair guy is so ruthless... I found that as long as I am with you, I will soon become a desperado, hum!" Ye Qing!
I didn't forget to hurt An Yi.
An Yi shook his head and smiled: "I asked Ziquan to serve as Tu Zhirong's adjutant, responsible for establishing the first air defense brigade in the army. This is a mechanized force that countless generals and colonels are vying to enter! They are all light and heavy trucks and off-road vehicles. Exit
It has four regiments, called the Air Defense Brigade, which are actually air defense divisions. After one or two years of service, they are divided into two and expanded. Tell me, what is Ziquan’s future? Also, Ziquan studied engineering in the United States.
He is a mechanical major, and Tu Zhirong, who studied air defense command in Germany, are both talented people, and they can complement each other. How good is it? Once the establishment is completed and the Military Commission passes the acceptance, Ziquan will be at least a lieutenant colonel and chief of staff. I hope that he will be able to serve in these two fields.
Work harder over the years and become another outstanding commander in our Anjia army."
Ye Qing smiled with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. You have some conscience."
An Yi smiled again, then put away his smile, and solemnly made a request to Ye Qing and Gong Qian, briefly introducing the process of his discussion at Chairman Chiang's house today, and getting to the point without politeness:
"... After the Chairman made his position clear, the weaklings in the Republic of China Daily will no longer dare to attack me, and the Central News Agency will break its silence and support me. I will report my achievements in the past few years, especially the vigorous disaster relief and resettlement of countless numbers of people."
The story of millions of victims has been revealed. Among them, there will be strong support from Nanchang, western Hubei, western Hunan, southern Sichuan and Yunnan. Many mainstream newspapers in Shanghai will continue to support me. The remaining third-rate tabloids and magazines are not worth mentioning.
. Therefore, I would like to ask Sister Qing to go to Shanghai to host this public counterattack with He Jing, to wash away my grievances and restore my innocence. I wonder if Sister Qing is willing?"
"Oh... no wonder Sister Qian and Mother Wu are going to Lao Nanchang to relax tomorrow. It turns out that... you guys, you finally thought of us sisters, right?"
Ye Qing raised his chin and looked at An Yi proudly.
An Yi lowered his head and looked embarrassed: "How do you say I finally remembered? This is what I think about every day, but I just don't dare to say it out."
The two beauties were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Ye Qing stood up and rushed towards An Yi, punching him hard. He then pinched his hand when it hurt him. He kept laughing and scolding her, and Gong Qian's beautiful eyes flashed.
, also repeatedly blamed An Yi for being frivolous, and for a moment it seemed that he had returned to those unrestrained happy times together.
After the two beauties had finished tossing, they stopped dripping with sweat. The cheeky An Yi stood up quickly, tidied her clothes, and poured tea diligently: "Two ladies, I will rely on you. You are experienced in publicity..."
"Shut up! Am I very old?" Ye Qing's beautiful eyes widened with anger.
An Yi quickly begged for mercy. Gong Qian shook her head and asked in a low voice: "Aren't He Jing and Lao Zhuang always complaining about you? They and the National Federation of Young Journalists have great influence. As long as you have a clear attitude and
If the direction is given, they can do a good job.”
An Yi sat down and sighed: "They are busy too! They still have to maintain the appearance of neutrality and objectivity, but friends at Shenbao and the Times are generous. Let's wait until Sister Qing arrives in Shanghai. By the way, we have been old since the Anti-Japanese War.
Zhuang has been sending four field interview teams, risking their lives and going deep into the front lines to capture a lot of precious information. Two of them also sneaked into Chongming Island under the strict escort of the independent division to take photos and records of the atrocities of the Japanese army. A series of records will soon be compiled.
This is a documentary, and Sister Qing can preview it first when she arrives in Shanghai."
"That's amazing! I want to go now..." Ye Qing said excitedly.
The New Oriental Film Company's photography base covers an area of nearly 100 acres in the western part of the French-Singapore Concession in Shanghai. It has pavilions, bridges and flowing water, and the scenery is pleasant.
This morning, several temporary studios were crowded with people. Various project teams under the film company were busy filming films. The company's vice president and director, Producer Lao Zhuang, was in the dark studio in the west corner of the yard, editing to reflect the 128 Anti-Japanese War.
's documentary.
In the past year, the film company has made great progress. After "Model Camp", the company strongly promoted the series of films that reflected the Northern Expedition, "Battle of the Five Rivers" and "The Bleeding Path", both of which achieved good box office results. Other films released by the company exposed the darkness of Beiyang officialdom.
"Official Affairs" and "Beijing Yanyun", which criticizes the concept of feudal family status and advocates free love, both have good reputation and box office. "Dingbei", the last film produced by the company in the second half of last year to reflect the Northern Expedition,
After the September 18th Incident, the film that exaggerated the bloody massacre carried out by the Japanese in Jinan was used by the intelligence agencies in the occupied northeastern areas to encourage the people to destroy machinery and factories, burn fields and destroy villages, so it was not released to the outside world.
Public screening.
As the company's scale and influence grow, coupled with its profound background, generous remuneration, tolerant working environment, and theaters all over Shanghai and across the country, more film talents are gradually concentrated in New Oriental Film Company. Among them
Including directors Cai Chusheng, Sun Yu, Zhu Shilin, Wu Yonggang, Yuan Muzhi, Zhang Shichuan, Zheng Zhengqiu, Shen Xiling and others, and actors including Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, Chen Yanyan, Jin Yan, Zhao Dan, Wang Renmei, etc., the lineup is extremely strong.
Nowadays, the company can shoot four or five movies at the same time without worrying about the shortage of manpower. If it hadn't coincided with the September 18th Incident and the 128th Anti-Japanese War, there would be at least five or six movies released now. Of course, everything now takes priority over the war.
The film is temporarily stored in the film library and will be released to the market when the situation calms down.
"The Japanese are too cruel. Looking at these clips and the suffering suffered by ordinary people, it is hard for me to believe that this is an act that a country that claims to be civilized can do. Is there still such a massacre on Chongming Island now?
"He Jing looked at the latest edited movie clip and asked through gritted teeth.
Lao Zhuang shook his head: "Since our independent division's special agent group launched fierce retaliation against the Japanese actions, the Japanese have consciously restrained their behavior and no longer dare to be so crazy. It can be seen that sometimes toughness is not necessarily a bad thing, blindly
Giving in will make people feel weak and can be bullied."
He Jing nodded: "Yes, the turbulent anti-Japanese actions in the north and south of the country during this period have indeed made the Japanese and European and American countries deeply fearful. However, there are also weak people who are scared and bend their waists. They only think about how to end the war decently, never taking into account the country and the country.
The interests of the nation. Now the battlefield in Songhu seems to be calm, but in fact it has reached the most dangerous time. The Japanese want to get things from the negotiation table that cannot be obtained in the war. The situation is dangerous!"
Lao Zhuang chuckled: "So we need to build public opinion! I believe that as soon as this documentary comes out, all the advocates and factions will have to weigh their own weight. Faced with the boiling public resentment, if they continue to blindly give up the country's national interests,
