Chapter 894: Breaking the Cocoon and Fluttering its Wings for Dominance (5)
Chapter 894 Breaking out of the cocoon and fluttering wings to achieve dominance (5)
A week of continuous heavy rains in the Yangtze River Basin has begun to show signs of major floods.
As early as a week ago, the Southern Sichuan Radio Station, which was the largest in scale and equipment in China during this period, reported to the whole country at 12 noon and 6 pm every day about the deteriorating water conditions in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, reminding the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in advance.
Be prepared to prevent floods and waterlogging.
Major newspapers across the country, including the Central Daily News, have published the voices of Chinese and foreign experts from the Xufu Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, predicting that widespread flooding is likely to occur in the Yangtze River Basin.
Two days ago, the Southern Sichuan Radio Station even canceled all literary and artistic radio programs, and continuously reported on the water conditions of the Three Rivers. In a rare serious tone, it reported the rapidly rising water levels of the Jinsha River and the Min River, announced the suspension of navigation in the river section above Chongqing, and mobilized Southern Sichuan
The military and civilians in various places unconditionally obey the commands of governments at all levels and work together with one heart and one mind to defeat the floods.
Among them, the news that the Minjiang River surged and caused more than 30 villages and towns along the Sanjiang River to be flooded was reported in detail by the Southern Sichuan Radio Station, whose signal covers most of China. It finally triggered a huge panic in the provinces and cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There have been ten Minjiang River floods in history.
Nine times, it affected the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Nanjing government had to issue an urgent notice, urging the provincial governments to take immediate action and use their utmost efforts to reduce the losses to the lowest point.
On June 13, "Oriental News" and "Shenbao" published the full text of a special reporter's interview with General An Yi, director of the Sichuan-Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Appeasement Office - General An Yi, whose "body is recovering but has not yet recovered", was
On the morning of the 12th, he led water conservancy and geological experts from three universities in Syria, the medical team of the medical school, and the marine police brigade of the garrison to rush to Gubai Town, the most severely affected town in the middle reaches of the Min River, to command the flood control; two brigades from the garrison headquarters led by the Office of Appeasement
Nine thousand officers and soldiers, and more than 13,000 veterans who have retired from the army and worked in major industrial and commercial enterprises, together with more than 50,000 people from all over the country, are fighting on the front line of flood control 30 kilometers along the river; troops stationed in various places in southern Sichuan, and the Engineer and Soldiers Department of the Non-commissioned Officer School
Seven battalions of engineers were dispatched to the areas where the disaster was most severe. An Yi did not have any praise for the government and the army he led. Instead, he said sadly to reporters: Due to backward technology and lack of talent, the Office of Appeasement has not yet been able to
A professional team engaged in meteorological research was unable to predict meteorological changes that could have been grasped in advance. They were full of apologies to the affected people and were worried about possible large-scale floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
This is An Yi's second public appearance after he "resigned due to illness". It has attracted the attention of the people all over the country, especially those in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. All walks of life expressed their gratitude to General An Yi for "visiting the front line of disaster relief despite being ill" and expressing their condolences to those affected by the disaster.
The touching sentiments of "the people are filled with guilt" were greatly admired. Many local newspapers even shouted out words such as "How happy it would be if General An Yi became our parent officer."
Out of admiration and trust for An Yi, after the interview was published, the water conditions of the Yangtze River received great attention from the governments and people along the river.
The first person to react quickly was Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Xiong Shihui, a senior general known for his erudition and stability. After exchanging telegrams with An Yi three times in one day, he went to Xufu to read "Sun Tzu's" Lao Shoudao and exchanged telegrams decisively.
Jiujiang and Hukou areas were ordered to enter a state of alert. With the full support of the Jiangnan Group, 200,000 sacks were collected in just half a day and handed over to the Jiangxi security forces. Soon 10,000 officers and soldiers rushed to Jiujiang and Hukou.
, together with tens of thousands of people organized by the local government, they built flood control embankments in advance.
At noon on the 16th, just one hour after the completion of the Jiujiang and Hukou flood control embankments, the flood peak reached Hankou, and the news that seventeen villages and towns on both sides of the river had been washed away and submerged reached Nanchang. Xiong Shihui wiped the sweat from his forehead and drafted a telegram in person
, instructing his adjutant to secretly send it to An Yi and Lao Shoudao to express his heartfelt thanks to them.
Before Xiong Shihui calmed down, a call from Chiang Kai-shek came suddenly. Xiong Shihui did not dare to neglect. After putting down the phone, he immediately drove to Changbei Pier in the rain. Together with Chiang Kai-shek and many central military and political officials, they boarded the battleship of the Poyang Lake Marine Police Division.
Under the escort of four large and small patrol boats, we rushed to the mouth of the lake to inspect the water conditions.
Chiang Kai-shek, wearing a military raincoat, stood on the bow of the ship. In the misty rain that shrouded everything, he looked at the undulating vast lake. Marine Police Division Lieutenant General Li Guang stood half a step behind Chiang Kai-shek and kept answering Chiang Kai-shek's questions about the water level of Poyang Lake and the water level of the Yangtze River.
Emotional inquiry.
After listening to Cheng Guang's concise answer, Chiang Kai-shek's stern face looked much better. After repeated requests from Cheng Guang, Wang Shihe, Yang Yongtai and others, he reluctantly entered the command cabin.
"Did An Yi reply to the telegram?"
Chiang Kai-shek put down the empty glass of water and asked in a low voice.
Deng Wenyi replied respectfully: "I'm back. There are more than 70,000 people affected by the disaster in the middle and lower reaches of the Minjiang River, more than 1,500 houses collapsed, more than 370 people died, and more than 500 people are missing. Junior Brother An added a report after the telegram
, Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou's troops have stopped attacking each other due to the surge in water levels in the upper reaches of the Min River. Each side has two divisions with a total of more than 40,000 officers and soldiers, located along the line from Leshan to Wutong Bridge, facing each other across the river."
Chiang Kai-shek took a glass of water from Wang Shihe, took a sip, and asked again: "Is that all?"
"That's all..."
Deng Wenyi lowered her head and sighed secretly. An Yi was no longer the cheerful Junior Brother An who always responded to requests. The telegram in reply to the principal no longer contained the unique yet detailed content of the past. Instead, he answered exactly what was asked, concisely and concisely, sparing no words.
Like gold.
The three-hundred-ton gunboat cut through the waves on the turbid lake and moved quickly. The hull heaved and undulated in the waves, which was quite bumpy. Chiang Kai-shek sat in the neat and narrow command cabin without any discomfort. He waved his hand and asked his followers to find their own places.
Sit down. When the military and political officials saw that half of the place was occupied by the instrument panel and wireless communication equipment, and the remaining space could only accommodate four people, they all left knowingly and left. They turned around behind the command cabin and got into the more comfortable room.
The spacious bottom cabin provides shelter from the rain.
Chiang Kai-shek watched everyone leave, leaving Xiong Shihui and Yang Yongtai behind. They asked carefully about the situation of the Jiujiang flood control embankment. He nodded with satisfaction and said nothing. He lowered his head to read the top-secret documents on the small desk in front of him. He seemed to be focused on it, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
complex.
An Yi has not sent a message to Chiang Kai-shek proactively since he passed away. Every time, Chiang Kai-shek calls to inquire, and An Yi will reply. However, the content of the reply is only a few numbers, which is completely irresponsible, but
This also left Chiang Kai-shek with no excuse for scolding. For example, Chiang Kai-shek asked An Yi for his opinion on the military arrangements in North China, and An Yi politely asked him to ask Generals Xu Tingyao and Yin Jinan; Chiang Kai-shek asked when the five-year development outline for southern Sichuan would be delivered? An Yi
Yi replied that it was under study and would not make a decision until the end of the year at the earliest. Chiang Kai-shek asked when he would send troops to coordinate with Liu Xiang's tribe to encircle and suppress the red bandits of the Huang and Han tribe, which had grown to more than 7,000 people. An Yi replied that it would not be until the disarmament and resettlement work was completed.
plan……
A series of lukewarm and purely official responses made Chiang Kai-shek painfully aware that An Yi, a student he had always trusted, was getting farther and farther away from him and was on the verge of being uncontrollable.
Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that the reason why An Yi became like this was that, in addition to being very dissatisfied with the compromising attitude of the Sino-Japanese peace talks, there was another important reason: An Yi could no longer bear the lack of due recognition for his long-term contributions.
Therefore, he was no longer willing to swallow his nerve and maintain the status quo. After leaving with anger, he suddenly declared his dissatisfaction and resistance in an extreme way of "self-destruction of martial arts" such as a grand disarmament.
It is not that Chiang Kai-shek was unaware of the great impact of An Yi's departure. In the complicated anti-Japanese struggle and the embarrassing situation of internal and external difficulties, Chiang Kai-shek had never worried that An Yi would become his "enemy".
Analyzing Yi's character and current strength, An Yi will not be so obsessed that he loses his mind, because Chiang Kai-shek understands that his student is a complete nationalist, a person who values the interests of the country and the nation more than his life.
It is important to be a staunch patriot. Such a person will never disregard the overall situation, take risks for the sake of his own selfishness and temporary anger, and commit stupid acts such as supporting troops and establishing an armed separatist regime.
It was precisely because of Chiang Kai-shek's accurate grasp of An Yi's ideals and beliefs that he never took An Yi's "willful actions" to heart, thinking that at most he would just get angry and be done with it.
However, starting in June, with An Yi's series of performances and Chiang Kai-shek's deeper understanding of the Anyi Group, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly realized that the problem might have exceeded his expectations. Through the timely and comprehensive analysis report of his confidant and think tank Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek passed
The Party Headquarters of the Central Committee and its Investigation Bureau were angry and worried about the party building issue in southern Sichuan. Especially after learning that Jiang Yunshan, a Bashu scholar who had lived in seclusion for several years and had a high reputation in the intellectual and legal circles across the country, came out to assist An Yi, Chiang Kai-shek became even more worried.
Realizing that the situation was beyond his control, An Yi, who quickly matured by retreating into advancement, was no longer the trump card in his hand that could be easily controlled and had a huge deterrent effect on any opponent.
Previously, Chiang Kai-shek did not pay too much attention to the development of the Jiangnan Group. Instead, he believed that the better the development of the Jiangnan Group controlled by his general An Yi, the greater the help to him. Facing one crisis after another in the past few years, the Jiangnan Group was helping Chiang Kai-shek and the people.
The huge role played by the government in resolving and alleviating the crisis fully proves this point. The rapid growth and rapid development of Jiangnan Group in the basic fields of science and technology, industry and commerce also fully proves the wisdom and progress of the central government headed by Chiang Kai-shek.
It has made indelible contributions to promoting the development of the entire national economy and alleviating the economic crisis of the entire country.
But now, with An Yi's departure step by step, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly discovered that he had quietly controlled 80% of the mining industry in Jiangxi Province, 85% of the country's radio and communication products, and controlled the country's steel industry.
Jiangnan Group, which controls 90% of the smelting industry, 70% of the world's industrial products, and 100% of the country's automobile industry, has become a huge business empire that can influence the country's political situation. It is precisely because
The existence and unstoppable development of this empire have given rise to the Anjia Army, which is proud of its weapons and equipment, and the rapid expansion of the military strength of the Anyi Group. If it does not decisively carry out rapid and effective containment, it will form a situation where the tail is too big to lose.
, given time, it will have a huge impact on Chiang Kai-shek's status, and it will create subversive threats and damage to the great cause that Chiang Kai-shek devoted his life to and the political party that he single-handedly developed.
There was a heavy rain outside the cabin. The 300-ton gunboat was like a small boat in the haze that enveloped the sky and the earth. The waves approaching the river mouth were getting bigger and bigger, forcing the warship to slow down again. The dense and huge raindrops hit the iron-gray steel cabin.
On the outer wall, there was a dull whistling sound in the strong wind that kicked up the heavy rain curtain.
Chiang Kai-shek slowly put down the documents in his hands, as slowly as he put down a heavy object. His stern and dull face showed an increasingly clear look of perseverance.
Xiong Shihui felt his heart beating faster. From the moment he entered the cabin to now, he had been worried about the secret report in Chiang Kai-shek's hand that took Yang Yongtai three months to write. He was very reluctant to have Chiang Kai-shek implement the series of plans in the secret report.
Although Xiong Shihui is a leading figure in the Department of Political Science like Yang Yongtai, Wu Tiecheng, Zhang Qun and others, and has the same interests and the same communist ideals and pursuits, he is very reluctant to see Chiang Kai-shek want to carry out an attack on the Anyi Group.
"Punishment", Xiong Shihui's intuition told him that this was definitely a lose-lose situation.
Yang Yongtai, who had been sitting silently aside, opened his eyes at the right time, faced Chiang Kai-shek's bright eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, nodded slightly, and whispered:
