Chapter 986: The Way Home

Considering that many of the old subordinates who have returned to China have been away from home for a long time, and the Spring Festival is approaching, An Yi thought about it and decided to give everyone a long vacation, and instructed the international students to inform each other that they do not need to go to Lao Nanchang again, just rush to the Syrian Economic Research Institute to report before the end of February, and officially work on March 1 after being assigned.

In the following week, at the request of Chiang Kai-shek, An Yi followed him from Nanjing to Hangzhou to meet with Zhang Xueliang, who had arrived from Shanghai. Although An Yi, who was like an arrow, was very reluctant in his heart, under the tough attitude of Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen, he could only follow hard.

An Yi knew in his heart that this trip was not just as simple as holding a national conference on suppressing bandits in Hangzhou and untying his heart knot with Zhang Xueliang, but largely because Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Ziwen were deeply worried about the Sino-Burmese border crisis and were unwilling to trigger a larger-scale armed conflict, and keeping An Yi by his side was the best way to control the escalation of the conflict.

In the unlikely event that the British, who have reached a consensus, are unable to control the development of the situation and the border conflict becomes more and more intense, they can also restrain the violent reaction of the An Jiajun from top to bottom by restricting An Yi, and as long as the An Jiajun does not participate in it, there will be no major crisis in the border conflict.

The significance of this trip to Hangzhou was extraordinary, and in just one week, major events occurred that changed the fate of many armies and many people:

The 16th Division of Xiao Ke and the 17th Division of Gao Yongsheng of the Red Army were easily defeated by the Western Route Army of the Central Army, which was waiting for the battle, and suffered extremely heavy losses under the close pursuit of the Western Route Army and the heavy blows of the troops. With the support of the Soviet Red Army, Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang rose strongly, and reached a consensus with his old enemy Ma Bufang and others, and Sheng Shicai finally gained a firm foothold in Xinjiang; The 19th Route Army of Fujian was completely defeated, Cai Tingkai and others fled from Longyan to Meixian at the last moment of the army's pressure, and the two divisions under his command were absorbed by Chen Jitang's Cantonese army.

One of the most influential events in the seven days was: Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of the Northeast Army who was at the end of the road, finally compromised, and under the patient persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi, he had to accept the dispatch of the central government in the joint squeeze of the Zheyuan Department and the Yan Xishan Department of the Northern Song Dynasty in Huabei, and the Northeast Army withdrew from North China in turn and drove to Henan and Hubei. He led the Northeast Army to encircle and suppress the Red Army in Henan, Hubei and Anhui.

During the whole process of successfully oppressing Zhang Xueliang with both soft and hard measures, An Yi watched coldly and thought silently.

What made An Yi extremely emotional was that the naïve young marshal would ask to serve as the director of the chairman's chamberlain as a sworn younger brother, on the surface he humbly hoped to follow his brother and learn more about the ability to govern the army and the country, but in his heart he tried to express his loyalty by staying by Chiang Kai-shek's side in exchange for the Northeast Army to continue to be stationed in North China.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek would not agree, not to mention whether the young marshal, who was accustomed to the ups and downs, could be qualified for the post of director of the chamberlain, but only that the current situation of the Northeast Army, which was lax in military discipline and leaderless, did not allow Chiang Kai-shek to make other choices.

Allowing the demoralized Northeast Army to remain in North China is undoubtedly a huge security risk. Rather than allowing them to be stationed in North China, living with the glorious memories that have been lost, and consuming a large amount of military spending from the central government day after day and scavenging and squeezing the taxes of the local people, it is better to be transferred to the battlefield of suppressing the Communist Party and fight with real swords and guns, no matter whether the Northeast Army wins or loses in the end, there is one less political and military rival for Chiang Kai-shek, and one less traditional military force that has been dominant for many years for North China, so as to remove obstacles to the control of the central government and the Central Army over North China, and the Northeast Army will gradually be exhausted in the fierce war of encirclement and suppression. It's a lot of work.

After the analysis and persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek and several people in turn, the young marshal could only reluctantly accept this reality, saying that he would go to Wuhan within a week and announce his appointment as commander-in-chief of the three provinces to suppress bandits.

This series of insights made An Yi feel that the trip was worthwhile, and he secretly sighed for Chiang Kai-shek's means of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, and at the same time, he also had a lot of warnings and thoughts about the future fate of his An Jiajun.

On 9 February, only five days before the Spring Festival, Chiang Kai-shek finally completed all the plans for his trip to Hangzhou, flew back to Nanchang, and continued to command the Central Army in a non-stop campaign to encircle and suppress the Red Army.

An Yi remembered that his newborn son and two wives were attached to the family, and asked Chiang Kai-shek to ask for leave to return to Syria for the New Year and convene a military meeting of all the armies under his command.

Chiang Kai-shek felt that the situation on the Sino-Burmese border was easing during this period, and that he had successfully mobilized the Northeast Army to go south to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and had set off a great movement in Hangzhou to "take education and health as the principle of saving China and rejuvenating the nation." At the meeting of the Central Military Commission on the last day, he successfully prompted the Anjia Army Aviation Command to be changed to the Southwest Command of the Central Air Force.

After the breakup, An Yi flew directly to Nanjing on a special plane that was urgently transferred, and held a meeting attended by the directors of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters, the Nanjing Intelligence and Military Station Headquarters of the An Jiajun, and the Beijing Office of the 17th Army of Hu Jialin, and made a summary of the recent situation and last year's work plan, and asked all departments to closely cooperate with the North China Bureau to ensure that the North China Bureau would retaliate against important military targets of the Japanese army in the three eastern provinces during the Spring Festival.

The meeting involved a wide range of specific matters, and the meeting, which began at 2 p.m. on the 9th, lasted until the early morning of the next day. To An Yi's great joy, Colonel Zhang Yingliang, director of Hu Jialin's 17 th Army's Beijing Office, gave a detailed account of the course of the encirclement and suppression of Liu Heiqi, successfully capturing more than 6,000 people from Liu Hei's 7th Division and disarming all of them, and 1,500 good soldiers selected from the captives were undergoing a three-month training and political education.

The sky is bright and the snow is shining.

An Yi ate a big cake, drank a bowl of steaming soybean milk, beckoned Shen Fengdao to get ready, and rushed to the airport immediately, before going out, he told Lin Yaodong, who was about to return to Guangzhou to visit relatives, and asked Lin Yaodong to send a large photo of his signature, a pair of Mr. Wu Zhihui's birthday calligraphy and some gifts, don't forget to kowtow to the old patriarch for himself.

Just about to walk out of the gate, the special car allocated by the intelligence station to Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi drove into the yard, slowly stopped at the gate, the door opened, Ding Molan helped a white old man and walked down, An Yi hurriedly greeted Shen Fengdao, Zhao Rui, Liu Hao, Zhang Yang and others.

The last time I sent Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi back to the hotel, An Yi had already met with Nikolai. Truss met once, and at that time he was not too impressed by this supposedly extremely knowledgeable Serb, and later let a special person investigate to find out that this person is extraordinary. At this moment, the white old man who changed into a dark brown tweed suit and black tweed coat, with a black tweed snow hat buttoned on his head, and his high nose, which was red from the cold, exhaled a cloud of hot mist, under the guidance of Ding Molan, shook hands with An Yi with a smile, and entered the hall with a few words of greeting, and the astute attendant immediately gave the white old man a cup of black tea that Westerners usually like.

Ding Molan saw a few small suitcases next to the sofa, realized that An Yi was going out, and hurriedly walked to An Yi's side and asked in a low voice, "Sir, where are you going?" ”

"It's almost the New Year, and I have to go back to Xufu to see my family. Again, this year is another bumper harvest year in southern Sichuan, and it is necessary to commend officials and model workers with outstanding achievements in government at all levels, and also to visit several new migrant villages around the country to visit the old folks who have settled down for more than two years, why did you come back to Nanjing? Your parents have been separated from you for so many years, and they definitely want to get together with you more. ”

An Yi replied with a smile, looking at Ding Molan's charming eyes, his mood suddenly became extremely comfortable.

"As soon as I returned to Shanghai, I went home to visit my family, and after visiting you in Nanjing, I went back to Shanghai with Uncle Nikolai to live at home for a while, my parents and siblings are very open-minded, and I heard that Uncle Nikolai and I are going to Syria for the Spring Festival, and they are very supportive." Ding Molan replied with a red face. In fact, after knowing their daughter's intentions, like all parents who want their daughter to become a phoenix, Ding Molan's parents hope that their daughter can have more contact with An Yi, saying that there may not be a good result, of course, Ding Molan can't say it.

An Yi was surprised: "Didn't you say that the holiday will be until the end of the month?" How? With the prosperity of Shanghai, can not attract Mr. Nikolai? ”

Ding Molan nodded: "Yes!" After listening to my introduction to the various research institutions in southern Sichuan, Uncle Nikolai never believed that there would be such a professional scientific research institution in backward China. It's really infuriating, Uncle Nikolai has always been obsessed with his scientific research, and doesn't pay much attention to movies and newspapers, plus the United States used to promote China like this, and now there are many diehards among the overseas Chinese on the West Coast who continue to wear horse coats and braids, so they make this joke. ”

An Yi couldn't help laughing, walked up to Nikolai and sat down, knowing that he could speak Chinese, and he didn't have to bother to speak English, so he said directly: "Mr. Nikolai, after you enjoy the beautiful scenery of China, I will send a special plane to pick you up and go to Syria to have a look, how about it?" ”

"Hey, General, didn't you say I'd come with you to that or something...... What is the first city of the Yangtze River, has you ever been to your Christmas? Nikolai asked, puzzled.

An Yi was stunned for a moment, turned to Ding Molan, whose face was full of crimson, and immediately understood: "But--Mr. Nikolai, I have to rush back today, there are still many things waiting for me to do in the Syrian Mansion, so ......"

"No problem, we've already packed our bags. Actually, we went back to Nanjing the day before yesterday, but you were still in Nanchang at that time, so we walked around Nanjing again. After calling you last night and knowing that you were back, before dawn today, my little angel came knocking on my door, and all the travel affairs were ready, and we went to the chic restaurant at the corner of the street together, and happily enjoyed a bowl of yang-spring-noodles. To be honest, Chinese noodles are indeed better than pasta. Nikolai replied lightly.

An Yi knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only happily say that it was his honor, and patiently accompanied Nikolai to enjoy one hundred and fifty pounds of the best Qimen black tea, and saw Nikolai add another sugar cube to the teacup, and could only watch helplessly.

Two hours later, the group finally arrived at the airport.

Nikolai was quite surprised to see that An Yi's special plane was a three-engine transport plane of the German Junker company, and he boarded the cabin with a slight smile, and finally chose the position of face to face with An Yi.

When the plane flew into the blue sky, Nikolai withdrew his deep gaze from the brilliant and warm eyes and the white clouds, looked at An Yi's handsome face with a smile, and suddenly asked:

"Ann, do you believe it? All it takes is to replace an aircraft engine that the Germans and Americans are working on with all their might, and to make some improvements to the fragile skeleton and clumsy shape of the aircraft, and people can easily soar freely above the beautiful blue sky at speeds of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. ”

An Yi looked at Nikolai, who was smiling with a relaxed smile, with some surprise: "Is Mr. talking about the jet engine being developed by several aircraft engine factories in Germany, Britain and the United States?" ”

Nikolai was a little surprised: "Ann, I didn't expect you to know this information too." I think you are the smartest Chinese I have ever seen except my baby, and although I know that you have never received a higher education in any school in Europe or the United States, I have long known in my conversation with the two babies that you and the Germans have worked together to improve and build airplanes, and I have heard that your plane is the largest and most advanced aircraft in China, and can carry twenty-six people if necessary.

"I just took a closer look, and it is true, after the defeated Germans were limited in the development of military aircraft, the enthusiasm for the development of civilian aircraft was even higher, and it can be said that so far this Junkers transport aircraft is one of the better transport aircraft I have seen, but it looks too ugly. No way, the Germans have always focused on the performance of the aircraft, often at the expense of visual senses, alas. ”

"You are so incisive, my professor, if it weren't for the fact that after listening to Mo Lan and Ru Yi talk about you, I specifically consulted your information, I really can't imagine that one day I would be with a great scientist who refused to accept the Nobel Prize." An Yi admires Nikolai's wisdom and vision very much.

Nikolai blushed and smiled heartily: "Although you are complimenting me, I still like to listen to it, and it is indeed a pleasure to receive such praise from the youngest general in the world." But, dear Ann, I would like to ask you, I have heard that you are very fascinated by technology, especially machinery, and I guess you have put a lot of effort into this, otherwise you would not have been involved with the Germans, who are strict and pragmatic and known for their working machines.

"What I want to ask is, do you believe that in the near future, there will be an aircraft in the world that can fly 10,000 miles without refueling, carry 500 passengers across the Pacific Ocean, and fly from the United States to China in 24 hours or less?"

An Yi was completely stupid, and called my mother in his heart, is this guy human......
