Chapter 906 The strongest note prelude

The grand military parade held by An Jiajun in Syria had a great impact, and the domestic press could not help but think of the military parades and exercises held by the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army before the Central Plains War, on the eve of the open outbreak of the conflict between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The local warlord forces were deeply shocked by An Yi's sudden toughness, and they all speculated that the contradiction between An Yi and his Principal Jiang had become increasingly acute, otherwise An Jiajun would definitely not have used a military parade to show his will.

What is particularly striking is that, according to the overwhelming news reports and the continuous reports of the radio station whose signal covers most of China and has a tremendous influence on the public opinion of the whole country, the scale of the military parade of An Jiajun is extremely astonishing; in addition to the fact that the number of people who appeared is only more than 15,000, other aspects such as weaponry, organizational methods, mental outlook, and the strong combat effectiveness and cohesion displayed are far more than the military parades held by any local armed forces in the past 10 years.

Almost all of the officers and men participating in the review, including the main force of the Anjia Army, the garrison unit, the aviation unit, and the armed police force, were divisions with outstanding combat achievements and rich experience in a hundred battles, and they dispatched 12 wheeled tanks, 24 air defense combat vehicles, 16 armored assault vehicles, 12 towed heavy artillery, 16 new-type vehicle-mounted mortars, and 42 fighters of various types, which had been successfully developed and mass-produced, to make public for the first time the general-purpose machine guns and grenade launchers that had been successfully copied by the Syrian Ordnance Research Institute, new submachine guns and sniper rifles called "a key model".

The strong combat effectiveness and deterrence displayed by the An Jiajun at the parade ceremony are unmatched by any military group in China at present, and it is obvious that the purpose of the An Jiajun is to show off their tough stance to the outside world and show their perseverance and uncompromising spirit.

More importantly, through this military parade, Chinese and foreign circles finally saw that Anyi Group has a solid industrial foundation, especially in the field of military research and manufacturing, with advanced technology and strong production capacity. This military parade also means that once the war requires, the 100,000 elite Anjia Army, which still has 100,000 after the disarmament of 120,000, can rapidly expand its army in the shortest possible time and form a combat effectiveness.

Kaplan, a well-known American female journalist, wrote at the end of the report that was the most in-depth and typical, and was immediately reprinted by dozens of newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States after the full text of the New York Times was published.

“…… The An Yi Military Group, which is located in the southwest of China, through this refreshing and deeply shocking grand military parade, is extremely confident in sending a signal to the whole of China and even the whole world: The An Jia Army, which has a glorious history and traditions, has firm convictions, great development potential, and amazing cohesion, and from this day on, this second largest military group in China will officially enter the stage of China's history with a brand-new attitude......

On the evening of the military parade in southern Sichuan, the leaders of various military groups and political groups in the south, who were holding a meeting in Guangzhou, stopped the agenda of the meeting and held a special discussion on the suddenly changed political situation.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the powerful people from all walks of life gathered in the former conference hall of the central government in Guangzhou, and quietly listened to the news broadcast of the South Sichuan People's Radio through the huge American-made radio.

When the female announcer, with a crisp voice, said that "Mr. Ma Junwu, a well-known educator, social activist, and veteran of the party-state, accompanied by Mr. Jiang Yunshan, a well-known educator, jurist, and president of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and others visited Southwest University of Technology this afternoon," Chen Jitang, commander of the Guangdong Army, Chen Mingshu, who represented the 19th Route Army in Fujian, and others could not help but look at Li Zongren, who was smiling, and Bai Chongxi, who looked calm and unfazed.

Everyone present knew very well that a few days ago, at the invitation of his nephew An Yi, Li Jishen and Ou Yaoting, who arrived in a hurry from Nanyang, went to Guangzhou Airport to take a plane to Nanning, planning to fly from Nanning to Kunming, and then to Syria. However, no one expected that Ma Junwu, the president of Guangxi University, would also go to Syria, could it be that there was any unsavory agreement between Guangxi and southern Sichuan? When everyone thought of this, they were full of worries, and they couldn't help but raise their vigilance.

Li Zongren also ignored his eyes full of suspicion and doubt, pointed to the radio at the end of the oval long table, and smiled and motioned for everyone to continue listening to the radio.

Hu Hanmin frowned slightly, then lowered his head thoughtfully, and Chen Jitang secretly scolded the old fox in his stomach, and turned his face away. Chen Shuming nodded slightly, revealing a knowing smile - thanks to the sincere cooperation between the 19th Route Army and the An Jiajun during the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War last year, Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, who returned to Fujian to train their troops, have been maintaining secret contacts with their "close comrade-in-arms" An Yi. The largest deal so far was the sale by the Jiangnan Group of advanced weapons and equipment to a reinforced regiment of the 19th Route Army, including 300 Zhongzheng-1 submachine guns, 24 60 and 36 81-caliber mortars, 12 imitation German-made general-purpose machine guns, a battalion of new engineering equipment, and 700,000 rounds of various guns and shells. According to the entrustment of Jiangnan Group, the 19th Route Army loaded the tungsten ore of the corresponding value onto the cargo ship of the German Lulin Foreign Company, and the two sides have been cooperating very happily.

At the end of the hour-long news broadcast, Hu Hanmin motioned to the secretary to turn off the radio, and everyone did not speak, but looked at Li Zongren with an unfathomable smile on his face again.

Li Zongren stood up and told everyone generously: "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes, this time not only Mr. Ma Junwu went to southern Sichuan, but our vice governor in charge of the national economy and people's livelihood, Huang Yixing (Huang Xuchu), also went as a public student, the purpose is actually very simple, that is, to strengthen economic cooperation with the An Yi Group and its alliance forces, our place in Guangxi is really too poor!" 100,000 officers and soldiers only have two sets of clothes a year, and they wear straw sandals all year round, and if they don't do some business, they won't even be able to drink gruel......"

……

Taiyuan, the general headquarters of the Jin Sui Army.

In front of the right side of the majestic main hall, a 12-meter-high thick telephone pole is erected, and at the top of the towering pole is a group of receiving antennas. In the special conference room of the General Headquarters, Yan Xishan, Shang Zhen, Xu Yongchang, Sun Chu, Zhao Chengzhuan, and others, the souls of the Jin Suijun, gathered together to listen to the news broadcast of the South Sichuan People's Radio Station that began at 8 o'clock, and then immediately started a discussion.

Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and others knew An Yi as early as during the Second Northern Expedition, and Zhao Chengshu, the cavalry commander of the Jin Sui Army, met with An Yi and smoked two cigarettes together in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War in North China, when escorting military rations to Baoding Military Station to deliver the delivery procedures, so among the generals present, nearly half of them were familiar with An Yi, who was always smiling and polite, and knew that this young general was not only shrewd in battle, but also fearless of any enemy. It's just that no one expected that An Yi, who had made great achievements in all civil wars and wars against Japan over the years, and had always been loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, would be so resolute and tough in this political game involving his own interests.

After a while, Yan Xishan waved his hand and said solemnly: "An Yi gave us face this time, and took great care of the two reporters of our "Jinyang Daily" stationed in Syria.

"However, you must not forget that the reason why An Yi did this, in addition to showing us a friendly gesture, is to let us know his thoughts, the thoughts of An Jiajun and the entire southern Sichuan government. Let's keep our eyes open, don't be confused by some superficial things, and think more about what is the purpose of An Yi's further steps? What kind of relationship does he want to form with us? How can we take advantage of this incredible opportunity? What kind of benefits can be obtained? If you think about that, you don't have to think about anything else. ”

The generals nodded their heads frequently and pondered.

Shang Zhen thought for a while, and suggested with a smile: "Commander, why don't you call your subordinate brigade commander Sun Jiaqi back tomorrow, let him work hard, go to Syria to meet his old classmates, and see if he can get back one or two new weapons and ammunition production drawings?" During his time in Beiping, he sent us 1,600 rounds of high-explosive mortar shells, all of which were produced by themselves, and the effect and quality of the three fuses were praised by our army, which was easier to use than the French and Belgians.

"Judging from the current situation, Chairman Jiang still has a great advantage in occupying the righteous position of the Central Committee, and politically it is difficult for us to express our position, but it would be a pity if this rare opportunity to do business was easily let go. The subordinates thought that the reason why An Yi contacted the Gui family at this time and publicly emphasized 'vigorously developing economic and trade relations with surrounding areas and provinces' was obviously to put pressure on Chairman Jiang, and it is estimated that Chairman Jiang was already jumping in a hurry at the moment. ”

As soon as Shang Zhen's words fell, the conference room burst into laughter, and Yan Xishan also smiled and nodded frequently.

Xu Yongchang agreed with Shang Zhen's opinion: "Qiyu's suggestion is very good, based on Chairman Jiang's personality analysis, he absolutely cannot tolerate such a strong response from An Yi, a proud protégé, and he will definitely attack An Yi somewhere else. Therefore, his subordinates estimated that no matter how the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium mediated, and no matter how big the differences of opinion within the Central Army were, it was imperative for Chairman Chiang to strike a blow at the rapidly rising An Yi clique, which had seriously threatened his rule, and at least for a short time, this sharp contradiction would be irreconcilable...... In this way, we have a very rare opportunity, and if we don't take advantage of it, we can't say it. ”

Yan Xishan laughed heartily, turned to Shang Zhen and asked, "Qiyu, I heard that when your commander Sun Jiaqi was in Huangpu, he slept on the bed next to An Yi, right?" ”

"Yes, after the armistice agreement was signed, when we drank together, we talked about An Yi who hung up the crown and left, Sun Jiaqi's kid drank happily and said some things between him and An Yi, he said that in Huangpu, everyone in the engineering department was not rich, only An Yi was the richest, many people often stole his cigarettes and smoked, An Yi found out that he was not forgiving on his mouth, but secretly often quietly gave a pack or two of cigarettes to his classmates who were not rich, including him Sun Jiaqi, who was not less taken care of by An Yi, so An Yi, who was excellent in character and learning, was very popular and easy to speak, As long as it is a brother recognized by An Yi, he can give you his heart. Shang Zhen said with emotion.

Zhao Cheng interjected slowly: "That's true, An Yi is very talkative, he doesn't have any shelves, and he will never let the other party suffer when he starts business." For example, the tens of thousands of tons of grain last time, he said that he would ignore it and let He Jingzhi find a way to solve it by themselves, but when he turned around, he quietly sent someone to send us a check. ”

"Hmmm......"

Yan Xishan nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, call Sun Jiaqi back immediately, wait for the order at any time, and I will personally draft a message to An Yi later, if he is willing, I want the Taiyuan factory to organize a visiting group to learn from the experience." Another thing that Mr. Yongzhi told me privately is that An Yi has been importing aircraft engines and key equipment from Germany since last year, and has invited hundreds of engineers and technicians from Europe and the United States to build an aircraft factory in his Syrian mansion, and now he is able to produce his own aircraft. Only then did I know that at the beginning of the year, his two aviation brigades fought very badly in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and lost more than half of their planes, but in just three months, he suddenly had dozens of more advanced planes, all of which originally came out of here.

"It can be seen that An Yi's industrial base is already very remarkable, far ahead of us, so we must cooperate with him, and carry out all-round cooperation as much as possible, including military education, etc., and make every effort to strengthen ourselves, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade!"

The generals agreed in unison, Xu Yongchang pondered for a moment, and suggested again: "Commander, is it going to be done quietly?" At this time, it is best not to provoke Nanjing. ”

"What are you afraid of? At this time, the more we make a fuss, the greater the stimulation of Lao Jiang, and the greater the benefits we can obtain. At present, Lao Jiang's southeast, northwest, and northwest are on fire everywhere, and An Yi, the number one general under his command, has become his opponent, if we don't express it at this time, when will we be able to dig something out of Lao Jiang's bowl? ”

Yan Xishan replied humorously without care, causing the generals to laugh happily.
