Chapter 1073: Turning Enemies into Friends (2)

An Yi followed Song Ziwen and Zhang Xueliang to the outside of Chiang Kai-shek's office on the second floor of the camp, and Chen Bui, who had just been transferred back from the position of director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, greeted him with a smile, shook hands with An Yi, and gently blocked Song Ziwen and Zhang Xueliang outside to drink tea, and apologized that the commission had important military information and needed to talk to Vice Minister An alone, and then met with everyone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Song Ziwen didn't think there was anything wrong, in addition to the post of deputy chief of staff, An Yi also served as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan-Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou border region and the commander-in-chief of the southern Sichuan garrison, plus the main force of the Red Army had entered the southern area under the jurisdiction of An Yi's Syrian camp at the moment, Chiang Kai-shek did have many important military matters to discuss with An Yi.

Zhang Xueliang was a little lost in his heart, he and Chiang Kai-shek were brothers, but at this time, An Yi was summoned alone, which made him feel a little unhappy in his heart, but thinking about An Yi's current prominent status and strong strength, he was quickly relieved, turned his head, and thanked Song Ziwen in a low voice:

"If it weren't for my brother asking me to pick up Brother An today, I'm afraid Brother An wouldn't be so frank and enthusiastic, without any guilt, my Northeast Army would hurt the heart of An Jiajun too much!"

Song Ziwen stuffed the teacup into Zhang Xueliang's hand, waved away the attendant officer, and comforted him in a low voice: "Brother Xian, don't treat An Yi like others, you have also worked with him, you should know something, although behind this guy's smiling face, there are often intrigues and tricks hidden in his belly, but I can see that he is sincere to you today." Personally, I think that An Yi is very easy to get along with, not what kind of smiling tiger the central government and those mediocre people in the army are afraid of, he misses the old feelings very much, and as long as it involves the interests of the country and the nation, he will do it at any cost.

"Brother Xian, don't be affected by some people's discussions, and don't be deceived by An Yi's rhetoric on the surface, this guy is actually very simple when he says it's simple, and it's complicated to say it's complicated, don't look at his young age, he is very arrogant in his bones, he is not a person he approves, he won't talk to you for a while at all, let alone joke so unscrupulously today, you can rest assured, haha!"

Song Ziwen knew An Yi's character very well, but he still didn't know enough about Chiang Kai-shek, and the complex and intimate teacher-student relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi.

In the chairman's office, Chen Bui motioned for the attendant who served tea to An Yi to step down, then nodded at Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi, turned around and walked out, and when he came to the door, he carefully closed the door.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and let An Yi, who was standing and saluting, sit on the chair opposite him, and did not say any polite words at all, which made An Yi feel a little embarrassed. In these years, nothing else matters, the dignity of the teacher and the rules between superiors and subordinates are not allowed to be sloppy, especially when this new life movement is being carried out with great fanfare.

"Sit down, don't stand stupidly."

Chiang Kai-shek watched An Yi sit down, slowly leaned back in his chair, and went straight to the point in one sentence, without the slightest ambiguity: "The reason why I called you here today is to let you let go of those hundreds of British prisoners." You know the current domestic and international situation, and I believe that the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters under your leadership, Hu Jialin, a veteran subordinate stationed in North China, and others have already complained to you, so I don't need to say anything more, right? ”

"I said, why is it in such a hurry, haha!"

An Yi smiled rather scoundrelly and said, "In fact, when I received the urgent call from the principal, the students had already guessed that it should be for this matter. To put it bluntly, even if the principal does not summon the students, the students will make a special trip to meet the principal after they have been busy with the urgent tasks in the past few days and ask for instructions on how to solve the matter. The 537 British prisoners were so difficult to wait for, they had no food, shelter, and even a different way of working than we did, and if the International Red Cross had not paid for their meals in full, the students would not have known how to feed them. ”

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but be happy, being with An Yi always gave him a sense of ease that he couldn't hide, and his mood couldn't help but become happy:

"The British and the Red Cross complained to the central government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs twice in three days, saying that your guards are *** prisoners, and if anyone is unwilling to work, you will not give food to others, and also said that the families of thousands of captives have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to visit their relatives, you are good, and you can only meet once a month, and it is only a short fifteen minutes at a time, so that every time the meeting hall is crying, this kind of thing is only done by you An Yi."

"Principal, the students are treated equally with reference to the British way of treating our errant expatriates and students studying in the UK, after hearing about this, now the UK is much more polite to our errant overseas Chinese, at least they don't dare to beat and scold if they want to scold like they used to." An Yi explained with a smile.

"Oh? And this thing......"

Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised, and then nodded, obviously acquiescing to An Yi's approach, in fact, he has never been angry about it, An Jiajun has been very civilized in treating British prisoners of war, except for more rules, he has never embarrassed prisoners of war and their relatives, so he doesn't want to dwell too much on this issue: "Don't say anything else, did you understand what I just said?" ”

"The students understand, however, that the students still want to refuse the Foreign Ministry's participation in the negotiations on this matter, and on the North China issue, those boneless guys make me feel very disappointed, almost unable to win any interests for the country and the nation, and some only compromise and concession, compared to the previous Foreign Minister Gu, they are far behind." An Yi said in a low voice.

Chiang Kai-shek was not angry, and after thinking about it, he felt that Gu Weijun's group of diplomats who were gradually fading away did better, and couldn't help but sigh faintly:

"Yes, yes! What are you talking about...... However, things are different from the past at this stage, and the domestic and international situation is also different from the past, so it cannot be treated with a fixed strategy. In this way, I agree to your request, and go back and instruct Ziwen and Mr. Yongzhi to ventilate the British side and let them negotiate with you directly. Remember, you represent not only yourself, nor just a few allied forces in your southwest, you represent the government of the Republic of China, as well as the army of the whole of China, everything must be based on the overall situation, everything is based on the national interests and the future of the nation, understand? ”

"Got it! Please rest assured, people, the students will definitely be released, and the 26th Army will also withdraw from the disputed areas currently occupied, after all, the Japanese are aggressive, and we now need the support of Britain and the United States and other countries, and the students still understand this. However, I will not budge on matters of principle, and if the British still want to get the land that belongs to us, I am afraid that there will be no end to this negotiation. ”

An Yi made his position clear neither softly nor hard.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "I know, what you care about most is the furnace silver mine, let me tell you first, the British intend to negotiate according to the border demarcated with the Qing government, and will no longer be entangled in the demarcation of several disputed areas, that is to say, the British already know that they can't compete with you, and they intend to take a step back to reach a settlement, and first relieve their prisoner of war crisis, which is deeply criticized at home." At this point, I hope you can cooperate with the British, save some face for the empire on which the sun never sets, and don't use newspapers and radio to publicize it if you don't get benefits, it will be counterproductive.

"The British meant to put some of the disputed territories in western Yunnan on hold until the two countries had formed a formal survey team and formed a written agreement. I have held several meetings with the central ministries on this issue, and I think that it is very rare for the British to be able to do this, and our officials are very pleased. I still have to commend you for this, if it weren't for the fact that your 26th Army occupied a large part of northern Burma and held more than 500 British prisoners of war, the British would not have been so easy to talk to, and it would not have been so easy to reach a consensus on this matter. It can be seen from this that your handling was correct at that time, and now the Central Committee and the Military Commission, no one dares to say that you are empty and arrogant. ”

An Yi was excited in his heart, it is undoubtedly a very rare thing for his hard work to be recognized and understood, and more importantly, after this incident, the colleagues of the central government and the Military Commission no longer dare to speak to themselves easily, and their efforts and willful actions have finally paid off, which is not easy to come by!

Chiang Kai-shek took in An Yi's reaction, nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "How is the Sichuan-Guizhou border now?" ”

"Oh...... The students vainly figured out what the principal meant, and all five brigades of the 24th Army and the garrison were deployed to the Sichuan-Guizhou border to strictly guard against it. In addition, in accordance with General Suppression's opinion, just in case, I also mobilized two divisions of the Jiang Defense Force of Lu Guang to move south to assist in the defense and control all strategic points in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then asked General Zhang Hongluan of Xiangxi to send two divisions to station on the first line of Songtao and Youyang, and the entire defense line was thick and tight, and it was connected as a whole. An Yi replied truthfully.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at An Yi with a smile, and then praised him: "Okay, you guys have done a good job, even better than I expected!" After that, you only need to cut off the road of the Vermilion Red Army to the north, and let Xue Yue and them solve the rest of the matter, after all, the industrial and agricultural bases in southern Sichuan and Xiangxi are extremely important, and they are also an extremely important part of our future strategic plan.

"At present, the problems in Guizhou have basically been satisfactorily resolved, and your next main task is to assist the soon-to-be-established Sichuan Xingying to carry out its work. The Sichuan camp was upgraded from the Chongqing camp, and the jurisdiction will not only be in a corner of Chongqing, but the whole of Sichuan except southern Sichuan will be under its jurisdiction, and you must help the officials of the camp to do a good job in the handover of political power and military and political affairs at all levels. Originally, I planned to let He Yuanzhang still be the director, but he offended Liu Xiang and those people in Chongqing, and the generals in central Sichuan were also opposed, so I finally decided to transfer Gu Mosan. Mo San is your old chief, and he has a good personal relationship with you, so you have to support his work more. ”

An Yi was deeply surprised, but he was still very happy to agree: "Principal, please rest assured, the students will give their full support." ”

Chiang Kai-shek stood up to pour water, and An Yi immediately offered to take his leave.

Chiang Kai-shek turned around and motioned to An Yi to wait for a while, drank half a glass of water and poured more than half a cup, and then Shi Shiran returned to his seat: "What are the names of you and Yun'er's little guy?" ”

"Old Man Feng and his relatives and friends proposed more than a dozen names, and the students were all confused, so let Yun'er make up their own minds, as if as of yesterday, Yun'er still hadn't decided." An Yi replied a little helplessly.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek heard the music, he waved his hand to let An Yi retreat, and after An Yi left, he remembered that there was still something important that he hadn't said, and hurriedly instructed Chen Bui who came in:

"Stop An Yi and let him come in with Ziwen and Han Qing...... Niang Xipi, and the matter of the army's change of clothes in stages and batches has not been discussed, and nothing can be discussed without him. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Bui turned around and went out, and after a while, he led An Yi, Song Ziwen, and Zhang Xueliang, who were chatting in a low voice, into the office together.

After talking for a long time, An Yi, who was thinking about it, heard that what Song Ziwen wanted to talk about was how to solve the problem of currency issuance of the Southwest Bank as soon as possible, which means ending the self-contained financial and monetary policy of the Southwest Bank's business outlets throughout the country as soon as possible, and bringing the currency issuance power back to the central government.

An Yi thought about it and didn't have too many opinions, after all, Song Ziwen's huge plan was beneficial to the whole country, although An Yi Group would be slightly affected by this, but compared to the 40,000 people of the entire country, a small loss was necessary and unconditional. But then again, the circulation of currency issued by the Southwest Bank outlets all over the country is as high as more than 2 billion, which is not counting the numbers on the books, the central government really has to exchange them one by one, I don't know how many years it will take to do it, and in a few years the war between China and Japan will face a serious depreciation, and the benefits that An Yi Ji Group has earned from it are unimaginable. Another point, now the research institute of Syria has successfully cracked the process and process of yen, dollar, pound sterling and other currencies, and the counterfeit currency created cannot even be recognized by banks in various countries, and now the income from money laundering is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and this money has also increased An Yi's confidence, so he will agree so quickly.

However, An Yi resolutely rejected Soong Ziwen's desire to get involved in the tariff and trade policies between southern Yunnan and French Indochina (Vietnam). Song Ziwen's reason is very sufficient: the collection of customs duties by the central government and the unified currency and financial policy of the whole country are the actions that a sovereign country should do.

An Yi sneered a few times, and counted his huge investment in southern Yunnan with straight fingers, from railways to highways, from resettlement of disaster victims to encompassing local ethnic minorities, from resisting the Anglo-Burmese invaders to reclaiming land to provide seeds and fertilizers, and not counting the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan Railway, which is about to open to traffic, is already a huge investment of more than 370 million. After finishing An Yi unceremoniously asked Song Ziwen, when will the nearly 150 million disaster relief funds, public debt loans, equipment arrears and war advances owed to me by the central government over the past few years be repaid?

Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang were dumbfounded when they heard it, Song Ziwen stammered angrily, and simply sat down and didn't speak, thinking about it carefully, he really owed An Yi too much, and the atmosphere in the office became extremely solemn for a while!
