Chapter 907 The strong wind and rain show the majesty (1)
Guling, Lushan Mountain, the official residence of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
At dawn, the light rain gradually stopped, the gauzy mist slowly surged, the dark gray clouds in the sky dispersed, and the fish-white sky gradually brightened amidst the mist of the mountains.
Yang Yongtai and seven other important officials of the Chairman of the Standing Committee walked out of the official residence together, walking and talking in twos and threes, and rushed to the newly completed central government residence below.
Chiang Kai-shek walked out of the conference room on the southwest side of the first floor of the official residence, stretched his hands at the door, moved his tired joints, took a deep breath, walked through the spacious and simple main hall with simple facilities, walked into the office and study room on the east side, sat down and signaled
The confidential attendant Guan Wenqiang who followed him put the documents on the desk.
Chiang Kai-shek picked up the brush, turned it slightly on the inkstone, finished polishing it, and said without raising his head: "Open the gauze curtain of the window. The air in the morning is very fresh."
Wen Qiang failed to agree, and Soong Meiling's voice had already sounded: "I'll do it, Nianguan, you're tired after a long night of meetings, go and have a rest, I'm here."
Wen Qiang nodded and backed away gently.
Wearing a pure white sleeveless pure white dark flower cheongsam, Soong Meiling quickly opened the gauze curtains of the two large windows, glanced at the beautiful clouds in the eastern sky that were dyed orange by the rising sun, returned to Chiang Kai-shek, and gently
Massage his shoulders:
"The fog has dispersed. It will be a nice day today... Darling, let's have breakfast first. It's time for you to take a rest."
Chiang Kai-shek slowly leaned back on the chair, raised his hand to cover the back of Soong Meiling's soft hand, closed his eyes, and said tenderly: "I can't sleep! The Navy's 'Haiqi', 'Haichen', and 'Zhaohe' were announced the day before yesterday.
Three warships, lured by Chen Jitang's conspiracy, defected and headed south to Guangzhou, causing the entire navy to feel uneasy and uneasy.
"After finally suppressing the news, Feng Huanzhang, who was afraid of the world being in chaos, called the whole country again, recounting my right and wrong many years ago, saying that I, Mr. Jiang, would only kowtow to the Japanese and foreign powers, but I would be like a wolf in murdering my own people.
Like a tiger, he couldn't wait to slander me time and time again in all walks of life across the country and even internationally. Despite this, I was not angry, and I knew that Feng Huanzhang, who was in decline, no longer posed any threat to me except for his mouth.
"However, no one would have thought that my protégé, the godson-in-law you have always been proud of, suddenly went crazy. At this critical moment, he actually took the opportunity of the graduation ceremony of the Military Academy to hold a grand military parade and dispatched
They used all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment that had not been used to fight the Japanese, and showed off their power to the world, causing an uproar all over China and the whole world. The chain reaction that will result from this is about to happen. I can't even imagine how bad it will be.
Do you know the extent? He is demonstrating to me!"
"Darling, you must not be angry, don't be angry!" Song Meiling saw Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly turning blue and his chest rising and falling rapidly, so she quickly grabbed his hand and comforted him softly.
Chiang Kai-shek took several deep breaths in succession, suppressing the anger and disappointment surging in his chest and abdomen. After receiving the secret report of the military parade in southern Sichuan yesterday at noon, Chiang Kai-shek, except that he accidentally dropped his brush, did not get angry as everyone expected, nor did he get angry with others.
Now he took several deep breaths with his eyes closed, and calmly ordered the attendant room to summon relevant personnel immediately and hold an emergency meeting.
This meeting to discuss how to deal with the situation was held from yesterday afternoon to early this morning. During this period, consular officers from three European and American countries in Beijing called to inquire. Judging from the responses, European and American countries generally seemed very worried.
As detailed and complete secret reports were delivered one after another, Chiang Kai-shek and his close advisors realized that the problem was becoming more and more serious. If not handled properly, it would trigger sharp turbulence and political crisis in the entire situation, and even suddenly trigger a national crisis.
The possibility of civil war.
The more critical the situation is, the less a wise leader can act panicked and lose control of his words and actions. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek has been suppressing his anger and not getting angry. At least until now, he still maintains his due calmness and demeanor.
However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek felt very uneasy. The reason why he did not even take a nap was actually because he was waiting for an important result. He must take a tougher stand and a more determined attitude to face the stubborn and vain attempt to support his troops.
The Anyi Group, which was essentially divided and divided, launched tit-for-tat punishments and attacks.
If the young and proud An Yi and his ignorant generals do not repent, Chiang Kai-shek will immediately launch a second plan and adopt a multi-pronged approach to launch a resolute attack on the An Yi Group.
The main content of the second set of plans includes two aspects:
The first aspect: initiate active diplomatic work to allow European and American powers and the country's major chaebols to identify the situation and see clearly who is China's leader and decision-maker; cut off Anyi Group's foreign trade routes step by step, and secretly hold economic meetings with the central government
The working meeting used the central decision-making method to launch policy suppression on the financial industry, industry and commerce of Anyi Group; at the same time, an announcement was issued in the name of rectifying the national import and export trade order, and then measures to strengthen tax collection and management were used to block the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in disguise.
, conducted strict safety inspections and tariff collection inspections on passing merchant ships, and used fair and aboveboard means to slowly tighten the economic rope around An Yi's neck, ultimately achieving the goal of forcing An Yi and his group to make a comprehensive compromise.
The second aspect: secretly dispatch special teams of the party, government and military to Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha, Kunming, Peiping, Taiyuan and Xi'an. Through active mediation and distribution of interests, including bribery and inducement of high-ranking officials and generous salaries to the separatist forces,
Promise to allocate large sums of "special military expenditures" to important local warlords, enhance the political status of local warlords, do their best to isolate the Anyi Group, and even trigger military conflicts between surrounding armed forces and the Anyi Group.
Just half an hour ago, after repeated discussions at the emergency meeting and weighing all night long, Chiang Kai-shek decisively issued a series of orders to immediately annex the Poyang Lake Marine Police Division and the Anjia Army Air Defense Force in tit for tat:
In the name of the Bandit Suppression Command, the commander of the Poyang Lake Marine Police Division, Cheng Cheng Guang, and the Chief of Staff Mu Zhuiyi were ordered to come to Lushan immediately to attend the urgent military meeting; in the name of the Naval Command, the Navy's Yangtze River Fleet was ordered to immediately blockade Hukou to
The Yangtze River waterway was closed to all ships; at the same time, the Military Affairs Department of the Military Commission and the Training Directorate Department were ordered to work together with the following to return the Liuhe Camp of the former Independent Division across the river from the capital to the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission. After withdrawing from the North China battlefield, they were ordered to be stationed at Liuhe Camp.
The First Regiment of the Anjia Army Air Defense Brigade, which is responsible for the capital's air defense mission, will be reorganized by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs from now on. We will strive to reorganize this air defense regiment that An Yi can't take care of at the moment into an air defense regiment directly under the First Garrison Headquarters in the shortest possible time.
7:50 a.m., Hukou, Poyang Lake Marine Police Division Headquarters.
In the large office, the 32-year-old Major General Commander Cheng Cheng stood up slowly and stared closely at the deputy commander and party representative Yuan Shutang who was standing in front of him. It was not until Yuan Shutang looked away with a guilty conscience that Cheng Cheng said coldly.
asked:
"Deputy Commander Yuan, we are all brothers. I don't want to hurt each other's feelings because of responsibilities that should not be borne by you. I won't say anything else. I will ask you one last time. At this time, Commander-in-Chief suddenly ordered me, Lu and
What does it mean when the Chief of Staff goes to Mount Lushan?"
"The commander is overly concerned, haha... I guess it's just an ordinary anti-bandit meeting. If it weren't for the party affairs work inspection team of the Central Party Committee coming later, my subordinates would also want to go with the commander." Yuan Shutang finally gave up.
The heart is alienated from morality.
"You..."
"Calm down and remember! We can't touch this despicable little person."
Zheng Guang grabbed Mu Zhuiyi, the furious Chief of Staff, and signaled Colonel Su Tieming, the director of the Confidential Division and the head of the secret service standing behind the door, to come over:
"Lao Su, notify your special agent team to immediately blockade the base dock and Hukou forward dock. Then notify Lao Yan of the 2nd Marine Police Brigade, Lu Linhai of the 1st Marine Brigade, and Fang Jide of the 2nd Marine Brigade. Within an hour
Be ready to go."
"yes!"
Su Tieming, who had joined the Anjia Army from western Hunan at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, turned around and left without saying a word.
Lu Guang took Mu Zhuiyi's hand and glanced disdainfully at Yuan Shutang, who was covered in sweat: "Qiuyi, go and inform the first brigade commander Sun Delong, the munitions section chief Zhou Pingyuan and other Huangpu officials, and ask them to come over immediately for a meeting.
, let’s tell the truth, we can get together and part ways easily, if anyone dares to stop us, don’t blame us for not being friendly!”
Mu Zhuiyi nodded and looked at the pale Yuan Shutang: "What should I do with this grandson?"
"Let him out, I don't believe he can make a difference. In half an hour, the Central Party Committee's special team to take over our marine police division and a company of military police from the Nanchang Camp Political Department will arrive on the No. 07 transport ship. They happen to be together.
Take it and take it to our command ship together! I want to see who the hell dares to do to me today!" Lu Guang, who rarely got angry, became angry and looked particularly ferocious.
Mu Zhuiyi and Cheng Chengguang never looked at Yuan Shutang again, did not disarm his pistol, and walked out of the office with great disdain.
Yuan Shutang, whose legs were weak, was trembling slightly with fright. When he heard the footsteps disappearing, he immediately rushed to the two telephones on the table, shook them three times quickly, picked up the receiver, and found that he could not even hear the sound of electricity.
Yuan Shutang rang another intercom phone again, wanting to tell First Brigade Commander Sun Delong not to come, but he didn't expect that the phone didn't respond at all.
Yuan Shutang shook the phone almost nervously. After several times, he finally became completely desperate. He suddenly realized that the entire operation had been leaked. Generals and commanders who were die-hard loyal to An Yi, such as Lu Guang, Mu Zhuiyi, and Su Tieming, had already grasped and made careful plans.
Be careful, it seems that Li Guang is really going to lead his troops up the river and defect to Anyi.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shutang suddenly shuddered, suddenly realizing the consequences of such a top-secret plan becoming like this. At least the Central Party Investigation Bureau would convene a stern meeting with Yuan Shutang, the only person in the Marine Police Division who knew the inside story and shouldered an important mission.
Isolated investigations and even interrogations.
Beads of cold sweat broke out from Yuan Shutang's shiny forehead and neck. He finally understood what Cheng Guang's purpose was in calling him to talk to him so early in the morning. He couldn't help but scream in despair and fell to the ground - looking stern.
, the unsmiling Cheng Guang is actually a very emotional person. What he just said was the last chance given to Yuan Shutang. Yuan Shutang, who dreamed that he could be promoted, did not seize this opportunity and has since become the leader of most soldiers of the Marine Police Division.
Enemy, become the enemy of the powerful Anjia Army. If the word "enemy" is too serious, at least Yuan Shutang will become the object of contempt for all the soldiers of the Anjia Army.
Twenty minutes later, Ship No. 07, the last fast transport ship built before Jiangnan Shipyard moved to Luzhou, appeared in the waters southeast of the Marine Police Division Base Pier.
The three officers of the Special Service Section of the Investigation Bureau of the Central Party Headquarters on the ship had serious expressions. They were still wearing dark blue Mao suits on such a hot day. The three of them could clearly see the wide dock where two imported gunboats from the United States were parked. They secretly made preparations.
The section chief of the middle school had a serious expression on his face and kept talking to the military police lieutenant colonel who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu next to him, asking whether Cheng Guang and Mu Suiyi had already set off for Lushan?
The lieutenant colonel of the military police was disdainful, but with a smile on his face, he asked the section chief to rest assured, saying that he was very familiar with the two marine police division bosses, Cheng Guang and Mu Zhuiyi. They were standard soldiers and had always been role models in obeying military orders.
I'm afraid we have already arrived at the pier at the foot of Lushan Mountain.
The transport ship docked at the unusually calm dock. Several officers and soldiers on duty took the cables thrown from the ship and skillfully wrapped them around the thick iron piles.
One hundred and fifty military policemen, led by the lieutenant colonel, jumped off the pier and quickly gathered.
The three party officials stood quietly for a moment, put on their top hats, and got off the boat with great pride. They walked to a dozen meters within the pier and stopped. They looked around, but there was no Yuan Shutang coming to greet them. The section chief with a thin face and a sinister look was not there.
He asked a soldier walking by unhappily:
"Stop! Come here...where is your party representative?"
The soldier grinned and pointed at the tall 300-ton fast patrol gunboat: "I don't know the party representatives, but our Commander Lu and Chief of Staff Mu are here."
The section chief and the two people around him were shocked. When they turned around, they saw fully armed Lu Guang and Mu Zhuiyi leading more than a dozen special elites striding forward. The section chief immediately realized the danger, threw away the briefcase in his hand and wanted to draw his gun.
, at this time, the Colt pistol in the hand of the inconspicuous soldier beside him was already pressed against the temple of the section chief:
"Don't move, otherwise killing you would be like killing a wild dog."
The military police ate everything they could, and immediately pointed their guns at Lu Guang and Mu Zhuiyi, who were standing in front of the three party officials, shouting "Don't move", "I warn you to put down your weapons immediately or you will bear the consequences" and so on.
Lu Guang frowned and pointed to the big boat by the water: "You make up your own mind, shoot me if you have the guts!"
The military police lieutenant colonel and more than a hundred military police looked up and were dumbfounded. A dozen light and heavy machine guns had already been set up on the side of the ship dozens of meters long, and the black muzzles were pointed at them.
At the moment when the military policemen were terrified, a chorus of chants rang loudly, and Marine Brigade Commander Lu Linhai led a regiment of fully armed soldiers to run into the dock in formation.
Following Lu Linhai's order, the military police lieutenant colonel and his 150 subordinates were all disarmed. After a slight struggle, they were hit by a burst of rifle butts. In the blink of an eye, none of the military policemen dared to move.
Without even looking at the three naked officers, Lu Lu yelled "Let's all go" and walked towards the command ship first.
Lu Linhai on the dock roared again. The Lieutenant Colonel of the military police, including one hundred and fifty of his subordinates, were stripped of their shirts after a full body search, and then escorted one by one to a dozen large and small ships docked on the long dock.
