Chapter 1025 is in hand

The "Peace Charity Cup Football Match" was held as scheduled in the overwhelming publicity of all the news media in southern Sichuan, and the newly completed stadium of Polytechnic University was filled with more than 25,000 spectators, and the ticket price was as high as 2 yuan a piece, which still could not stop the enthusiasm of people from all walks of life to watch the game. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before the official start of the ball game, the Boy Scout School Drum Band performed a pleasing queue performance, followed by charity fundraising and on-site auctions, representatives of major enterprises and chambers of commerce in southern Sichuan took turns to walk on the rostrum, and handed over a large envelope with red paper and huge checks to Yang Bin, chief of staff and secretary general in charge of civil affairs in Syria.

The famous painter Mr. Liu Haisu, based on a group photo with An Yi during the Spring Festival when he visited the hydropower station, painted a large portrait "Young General" with his full enthusiasm and superb skills, which was bought by Ou Chuer at a sky-high price of 480,000 yuan in the bidding auction fundraising. Wu Zhihui, Yu Youren and other seven famous calligraphers in the country sold 10 calligraphy banners in 15 minutes for an astonishing 620,000 yuan.

The next two games went smoothly, the British prisoners of war team and the International Red Cross team almost played in bursts of laughter, as early as the time of entering the field, the British prisoners of war team members were already overwhelmed by the huge boos of more than 20,000 spectators in the stands, almost none of the players were in a normal state after the kick-off, and the repeated passing and receiving errors and a large number of dead balls made the normal game lackluster and no viewing at all.

However, the performance of the International Red Cross team is not much better, and the staff of the embassies and consulates of the six countries can barely assemble a team of 20 people, judging from the performance on the field, only three people have received basic football training, and the others can't hold the ball at all, and the passing is also very outrageous, not to mention having a perfect offensive and defensive system, as a result, the ultra-short game of 30 minutes each in the second half has been poured into three goals by the poor British prisoner of war team to the end. The POW team, which was gradually recovering, still wanted to attack wildly, but reluctantly withdrew from the referee's final whistle and the sparse applause and laughter of the audience.

The next match between the "International Team" composed of engineers and technicians from various countries and the "Eagle Team" of the soldiers of the An Family Army was wonderful, dazzling and addictive.

This fierce game, which almost reached the professional level, made the audience fascinated, and the listeners who listened to the live broadcast through several radio channels in southern Sichuan were also extraordinarily engaged, and the No. 5 captain An Yi, who was fully mobilized by the "Eagles" midfielder in the game, became the focus of the audience.

The "International United," which finished second in the Games last October, apparently learned the lesson of the previous defeat and no longer dared to use the crazy formation of eight forwards and two defenders that was popular in Europe and the United States at the moment, and fought with the "Eagles" with strict organization and abundant physical strength.

In the first half, both sides did not achieve anything, and after a short break, they restarted the battle amid the cheers of the whole stadium. Twenty-five minutes into the second half, the "International United" players eat, drink, prostitute and gamble hollowed out bodies, and can no longer withstand the incomparably fierce impact of the An Jiajun generals and schools, only to see the lightning-fast Gu Changfeng received An Yi's wonderful pass, easily got rid of the last sturdy Norwegian defender of the International United, and entered the penalty area in a few steps, and made a leg and shot angrily on the left side of the door guarded by German goalkeeper Hank. Gu Changfeng's swinging leg suddenly changed direction, and with a slight trip, he quickly changed direction, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

The audience suddenly cheered, gongs and drums shook the sky, and the name of "Tiger Head General" was once again praised by Qi Zheng.

The players of the "International United" who broke the goal were impatient, and in order to quickly equalize, almost all the players forgot about the formation and defense, and not only failed to score any goals, but were beaten twice by the "Eagles" in the last ten minutes, and finally lost again with a disparity of 0-3.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and the players of the "International United" shook hands with their opponents amid the deafening cheers of the whole stadium, and then all sat on the pitch, gasping for their breath, while the players of An Jiajun still bowed to the crowd with great ease, and left the field in a queue amid the long cheers.

When they learned that there were six generals and 11 officers in the "Eagle Team" participating in the competition, the foreigners sighed again and again, and finally understood that the well-known An Jiajun was far beyond their cognition in terms of fighting spirit, combat skills, and organizational training. Looking at the whole of China and even the whole world, foreigners have never seen such a special military leadership collective.

The football match between the team led by An Yi and the "International United" completely overwhelmed the British prisoners of war team and the International Red Cross team who participated in the first game in the excitement and limelight, and the public opinion effect expected by the Americans was greatly reduced, and it was even called a farce by many people, but An Yi raised a huge amount of more than 7.5 million yuan from the game tickets, the generous donations put into the twelve donation boxes when the audience entered the stadium, the support of major enterprises and chambers of commerce, and the auction of artists' works. This money will be distributed to the officers and men of the security forces of the Yunnan Army, so that the officers and men of the Yunnan Army, who are suffering from urgent financial problems, can tide over the immediate difficulties, and those who have sacrificed their lives for the country will receive the necessary pensions, the injured will be compensated, and the meritorious will be rewarded.

In addition, in the collective name of the Xufu Xingying, the Sichuan-Yunnan-Hunan-Guizhou Border Pacification Office, and the Anjia Army Headquarters, An Yi also gave Zhan Huanqi's troops 50,000 sets of new-style summer camouflage uniforms, steel helmets, shoes and hats, 50,000 mosquito nets, 50,000 military aluminum water bottles, and 50,000 blended military blankets, in order to show his high respect for his old brothers and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army who defended their homes and defended the country without complaint or regret.

The good atmosphere on the pitch may be able to bring a lot of help to the negotiations, but it still cannot change the essence of the negotiations - the differences between China and Britain in terms of land and interests.

In the following days, An Yi was still very busy, holding daily meetings with officials of the International Red Cross to discuss the aftermath of the British and Burmese prisoners of war, and accompanied the group of gentlemen and women to inspect four large hospitals, invalids rest houses and welfare homes in the city of Syria in two afternoons.

This group of officials from all over the world was both surprised and moved by what they saw, and they never imagined that in China, which is poor and backward and cannot even guarantee a minimum of survival, the people in southern Sichuan live so happily, and they only need to pay a registration fee of two dimes to see a doctor in the hospital, and they will not have to pay a penny for how serious the illness is, although the hospital is bustling with people who need to wait in long queues, and many patients who are not too serious but still need to stay in the hospital for observation and treatment due to the serious shortage of hospital beds. The doctors could only go home to recuperate with the free medicines prescribed by the hospital after the doctors had prescribed the initial diagnosis and treatment plan, but this did not detract from the praise of all the people for the generous welfare system.

Officials of the International Health Organization learned from their interviews that almost all the patients from other places who came to the major hospitals in Syria, Luzhou, and Zhaotong were patients who could not be treated by the hospitals in the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of southern Sichuan, and that some common diseases, such as colds and fevers, could be treated free of charge locally, and all of them were impressed by the perfect medical system in southern Sichuan.

Of course, there are also one or two discordant voices among them, who are puzzled by the source of the amazing expenses of such a huge free medical system, but they dare not ask An Yi directly, and An Yi will not answer them, there is a way: I am in charge of my territory, do your thing!

Since the officials of the International Red Cross did not have the right to intervene in the negotiations between countries, these trusted whites could only hold several secret talks with the amiable An Yi through private contact and affection, so as to promote the elimination of the hidden danger of war between China and Britain.

On 21 March, after the British Keeper of the Seals, Eden, officially issued a solemn declaration in the House of Commons that "Manchukuo will never be recognized," An Yi skillfully took the opportunity of an after-dinner walk to talk with McCourt, the head of the International Red Cross, about the British government's announcement and the issue of prisoners of war that China and Britain were arguing about.

After listening to McCott's request again, An Yi finally gave a surprising reply:

"My friend, last night I had a telegram contact with President Wang Jingwei of the Executive Yuan of the Central Government, General Zhu Peide, Chairman of Yunnan Province, and General Zhan Huanqi, Commander-in-Chief of the Dian Army, respectively, for more than an hour. This group of prisoners of war is twice as large as you have requested, and it has been preliminarily decided to release 4,500 Burmese officers and men and 380 British officers and men who have not recovered from their wounds, illnesses and malnutrition.

"As you must know, the living conditions of the officers and men of Yunnan themselves are extremely difficult, the medicines consumed in the prisoner of war camp are all urgently airlifted from our Syrian government, including a field hospital of our army has also been stationed in Baoshan for a long time, and if the British government still insists on those extremely absurd and unreasonable demands in the negotiations, it will be difficult to resolve the matter smoothly. I hope that you will bring about this matter, and if necessary, I will send you a special military plane to assist you in flying to Nanjing, and then to Kunming. ”

McCott perked up and clasped An Yi's hand very excitedly: "Thank you, my friend!" I can't put into words how excited and grateful I feel at this moment, Ann, and I will remember your deep friendship...... So I immediately returned to the hotel to convene a meeting of all the people and convey the good news to the consular officials of the six countries who were still stranded here. Early tomorrow morning, I will immediately fly to Nanjing, meet with the British ambassador and President Wang of your country, and ask the British to do a good job of receiving prisoners of war on the other side of the border. I asked other members of the Red Cross Society and officials from the six countries to rush to Yunnan first, and I flew from Nanjing to Kunming as soon as I finished my work. Dear Ann, what do you think of this plan? ”

"Good!"

An Yi smiled and continued, "McCott, after meeting Mr. Kadegan, please convey my heartfelt greetings to him. In case you don't know, his daughter and my wife were classmates and friends at Cambridge University, and if it weren't for the fact that my wife was pregnant, we would have visited Mr. Kadgan when he came to China to take up his post. ”

McCott looked at An Yi in surprise: "Ann, why don't we know about this?" ”

"I guess Mr. Kadegan already knew that his daughter would not have mentioned to him that she had such a good friend in China when her father left for China to take up his duties. I saw a picture of Mr. Gardegan's daughter in my wife's photo album, and it was beautiful! An Yi smiled brightly.

McCott was very excited, and said a few jokes to An Yi, and immediately said goodbye and took An Yi's special car back to Minjiang Hotel.

Shen Fengdao continued to stroll with An Yi in the back garden of the Western restaurant: "It's also a good thing to send away thousands of sick captives, the manpower and material resources consumed every day are quite amazing, and it is much better to give the British a headache than to burden Huanqi." ”

"Yes! However, the cost of treatment, food and lodging for each prisoner had to be calculated, and the British could not pay the bills if they wanted to. An Yi was in an extremely happy mood.

Shen Fengdao nodded: "What if the British resolutely don't pay this huge consumption?" ”

An Yi said confidently: "They don't dare, if they really dare to be such a scoundrel, we naturally have a way to deal with it." First of all, I will ask Huanqi to send all the remaining British prisoners to Syria for detention on the grounds that the conditions of the prisoner of war camp in western Yunnan are too poor and overwhelmed. Second, more than 6,000 healthy Burmese military prisoners were used as coolies for the expansion of the highway, and the highway from Kunming to Luxi was just built before the rainy season last year, and it was destroyed innumerably in the rain and excessive use; according to the survey results of more than 200 experts from the Yunnan Construction Department and the Central Ministry of Construction, it will take more than 30 million yuan and 100,000 people to invest more than 30 million yuan and three years to build this 600-kilometer-long highway into a standard two-lane road with gravel pavement.

"Due to the initial rough road, the expansion is estimated to be faster, and it also saves a lot of materials and labor, but it is really difficult to start construction, unlike our southern Yunnan highway construction willing to invest regardless of the cost, just to compete for time and speed, there are many mountains and rivers in western Yunnan, the construction conditions are extremely difficult, and the people are not aligned, and it is still very difficult to make some achievements."

"In that case, let the captives take on the project...... If the British prisoners were really sent to Syria, they would also be allowed to fend for themselves according to the Japanese standard that the Japanese army treated prisoners in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River during the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War. ”

"It's natural, aren't the British the most face-loving? It depends on whether they are willing to spend money or are willing to lose face, haha! ”
