Chapter 974 Unequal Exchange

An Yi returned to Lushan and immediately went to Meilu to report to Chiang Kai-shek on the course and results of his trip to Guangxi, and submitted a detailed written report in accordance with his usual practice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly relieved to receive the exact reply that the Gui faction would not take risks and send troops to support the rebellion in Fujian, and he greatly praised An Yi with joy, readily agreed to his request, restored the military status, military rank, and party membership of Zhang Tianyi, chief of staff of the 18th Division of the Hunan Army, who had been completely destroyed in the first encirclement and suppression, and generously gave him a new appointment -- appointing Zhang Tianyi as the acting chief of education of the Central Army Noncommissioned Officer School and restoring his rank of major general.

Although Zhang Tianyi still has the word "agent" on his head, An Yi is already very satisfied.

As a matter of convention, it is normal for such an important appointment or dismissal to be accompanied by the word "deputy" before it has been discussed and approved by the relevant meeting, indicating that this is a temporary transitional appointment and a prudent attitude. Normally, within a few months, the word "deputy" will be removed without a meeting, and the actual position will be obtained, unless someone in the Central Military Commission raises a clear objection during this period.

However, although the Central Army Non-commissioned Officer School bears the name of the Central Committee, in fact, there is nothing from the Central Committee in terms of organizational procedures, capital investment and teaching formulation, and it is purely an industry that An Jiajun himself painstakingly operates.

Therefore, once Zhang Tianyi is appointed, no one will have trouble with him, time has passed, and it is impossible for Lu Diping, the old commander of the Hunan army, to have any complaints, who is embarrassed to turn over the old accounts from a few years ago and offend people? What's more, now the situation is clear, offending Zhang Tianyi is equivalent to offending An Yi, who would do such a thankless job? Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek's love and protection of his Whampoa disciples were well-known in the whole army, as evidenced by Chen Geng's arrest and release. Who wants to touch the authority of Lao Jiang for the sake of a little major general's overturn?

An Yi took Shen Fengdao and Xiao Jiu from Chiang Kai-shek's official residence back to his residence, and instructed his attendants to go to the town to buy a table of dishes and come back to celebrate. After throwing the two files to Zhang Tianyi and Brother Yigan, who had rushed from Syria, they went upstairs to change their clothes.

Zhang Tianyi opened the file, read the appointment documents and letters of appointment approved by Chiang Kai-shek, and burst into tears.

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing here? After a few years of sin, the eye sockets have become shallow? ”

An Yi had already changed into civilian clothes and went downstairs, and when he walked in front of Zhang Tianyi, he gave him a blank look, and then helped Shen Fengdao and the two guards put the dishes and chopsticks together, and never looked at the emotional Zhang Tianyi again.

Zhang Tianyi wiped away his tears embarrassedly, put away the documents and the letter of appointment, took a deep breath, and slowly came to An Yi's side: "My brother, I don't thank you anymore, I'll rush back to Xufu tomorrow." Director Duan of the professor's department called and said that all the daily necessities had been purchased in the small western-style building assigned to me by the school, and a special car had been provided, and the internal and external telephones had been installed. I plan to take my wife and children to live in school when I go back, and I can't trouble my sister-in-law and my two younger siblings anymore. ”

An Yi helped him sit down: "Whatever you want, it's good to live in school, it's convenient to work, you don't have to go in and out, it's also good for you to heal your leg injury." The dormitory area of the military academy is just one street away from my house, and it is very convenient for my sister-in-law and children to come over when they want to visit. ”

Zhang Tianyi nodded and was no longer polite, Ye Cheng, Zhan Dao, Liang Ziyan, and Lin Yaodong were still discussing excitedly around the documents on the coffee table in the living room, An Yi shouted "Open dinner", and everyone ran over and took their seats.

After three cups, Ye Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Commander, how can this time be so generous?" It can't be any attempt on us, right? ”

An Yi swallowed a crispy and delicious piece of Lushan stone fungus: "It's not that the commission is generous, but the current number of the whole ** team is extremely chaotic, and it has reached the point where the central government can't bear it, and even the General Staff Headquarters and the Military and Political Department can't figure out how many troops there are in the country." Second, in the past few years, nearly half of the army after the readjustment last year only had empty numbers, and there were not enough soldiers, or they simply ate empty salaries with a number of numbers, and they did not need to do anything, but only shouted in support of the central authorities and Chairman Chiang, and they could stretch out their hands to the central authorities every day to ask for guns, guns, and military salaries; the central finances were already overwhelmed and they were unable to allocate a penny since the end of last year. The Northeast Army, the Jinsui Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Liangguang Army, etc., simply discarded the original establishment and number of the central government, and went their own way to show their dissatisfaction. In addition, the War of Resistance in North China consumed a lot, and the local troops fled to death, especially the Northeast Army, and there were not a few who surrendered to the Japanese and were willing to be traitors, and after the armistice in North China, only half of the remaining remnants of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were split again, and many numbers have existed in name only; In addition, more than a dozen divisions of local troops, nominally belonging to the Central Army, have also suffered heavy losses in the suppression of the Communist Party for several years, and many of their numbers have been cancelled or have been idle there. In such a situation, what if you don't re-comb? We're just taking back what other people don't want, understand? ”

The brothers nodded frequently, but there were still doubts, Liang Ziyan asked: "What the commander said is that the situation of the Central Army's various departments snatching the number is getting more and more intense, and we can often see from the recent internal reports that the division-level number that originally belonged to the local army suddenly became the Whampoa descendant troops, in such a situation, how could the commission be so generous, and suddenly gave our 26th Army and the 30th and 33rd divisions the official numbers?" ”

An Yi put down his chopsticks and replied with a serious face: "It's not that he's generous, but it's not okay if you don't give it." If you think about it, in the entire four southwestern provinces, there are the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 28th armies of the Sichuan Army, the Liu Wenhui Chuankang Frontier Army, which is nominally subordinate to the Central Military Commission, and the 38th Army of the Yunnan Army, the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army, and the 44th Army of Xiangxi. The greatest strength is us, excluding the engineering corps, we still have ten A divisions that are ahead of the country in terms of strength and equipment, but we only have the numbers of the 24th Army and the 16th, 39th, and 44th divisions, and the five A divisions of Brother Shi Zhen's Qianxi are simply not given any numbers, is this reasonable? ”

"That's right! Thinking of this, I feel panicked in my heart, and I have to keep doing the political and ideological work of the brothers, and no one is allowed to complain about this and affect morale, and our Political Department has submitted a situation report to the commander three times, but you have not replied, and it will not be a matter for a long time! ”

Zhan had no choice but to express his suffering, and all the brothers echoed it, quite aggrieved.

An Yi frowned: "Don't I reply to you now?" Let me tell you honestly, I didn't fight before because I was waiting for an opportunity, today Chairman Jiang didn't let me go back to southern Sichuan, and I must go to Nanjing to preside over the year-end summary work of the General Staff Headquarters, and asked me to complete the statistical approval of the whole ** team and the revision of the military training outline before the end of the year. General He Yaozu, the only veteran director of the training director department, will also go abroad to serve as ambassador to Turkey in the near future, and I will be temporarily appointed as the director of training. In the end, the committee said helplessly, only you An Yi have the time and can do these jobs, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks if you do it, and others do not have your prestige. At that time, I was reluctant to do anything, we are in a critical stage of development in southern Sichuan, how many things do we have to do? But looking at the exhausted appearance of the commission, I just don't want to do it, so I have to agree to it, not to mention that the army has reached the time when it must be rectified, otherwise once Little Japan fights, what will we do to resist? ”

"No wonder you have to urgently transfer the staff team at home, you really can't refuse. I'm afraid you also took advantage of this opportunity to raise our grievances, right? Ye Cheng asked with a smile.

An Yi nodded: "Why don't you just ask for hardship?" Today, I directly told Chairman Chiang that we have been treated unfairly for a long time, and told him that even under unfair circumstances, we still responded to the call of the central authorities to send troops to suppress bandits, annihilated more than 3,000 recalcitrant bandits in the past three months, recovered several counties on the Sichuan-Hunan-Guizhou border and stabilized them, and also scolded the people of the whole country for signing the "He-Mei Agreement," which humiliated the country, and the central government and the Central Military Commission, which were scolded by the people of the whole country for signing the "He-Mei Agreement," which humiliated the country, guarded the Sino-Burmese border and resettled hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, thus sharing the pressure and adding glory to the central authorities!

"If the central government doesn't think about our difficulties, and then presses not to give us a few official numbers, how can you expect me An Yi to lead the troops? Moreover, the three regular divisions of the 26 th Army, which are subordinate to the Central Military Commission under the command of An Yi, have not asked the central government for a penny for more than a year, but they have also made great contributions, and have lent more than 50 million yuan to the central government to relieve their urgent needs...... The more than 10,000 men and horses of the Northwest Army still have the number of two armies, and now He Yingqin has issued military salaries every month in order to envelop them and not rebel! ”

"It's long overdue! I guess the chairman is blushing, right? When the brothers saw An Yi talking, the more excited they became, and they all became excited.

An Yi smiled dumbly: "How could he blush?" However, he did take into account our actual situation, first told me not to worry, saying that the number of the remnants of the Northwest Army would be cancelled soon, and then took out from the drawer two documents stamped with the seal of the Central Military Commission, which were the two documents you saw just now, and pointed to the name and date signed by him and said to me that he would not forget the meritorious heroes of the party and the state, and had already taken it into account for us. The implementation of the numbers of the 33rd Division's two divisions in southern Yunnan is an encouragement to the officers and men defending the country, and it is also a great deterrent to the aggressors. He also said that during next year's national conference on rearmament, full consideration will be given to the military and political situation in southern Sichuan, western Guizhou, and Yunnan, and the southwestern armies will be given due treatment and status. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that this was a disguised reward and appeasement, and the reward was because we stabilized the southwest and Guangxi for the central authorities, and guarded the southwest gate for the party-state, and the appeasement was due. The reason why the commission is so refreshing this time is that it is somewhat of an ingredient for all armies across the country to see. To be honest, I am very dissatisfied, but at present, I can only let it go, everything is focused on the overall situation, as long as the situation is stable, I An Yi will definitely not let go of what I should strive for. ”

The brothers were excited, and finally saw that the boss An Yi was fighting for fame and fortune for everyone, which was a welcome change. Ye Cheng raised his glass and proposed to toast the commander together, the brothers applauded in unison, and finally everyone toasted An Yi before sitting down.

"Lao Zhang, don't stand up, just mean it." An Yi and Zhang Tianyi touched a cup and drank it all, and they were relieved that Zhang Tianyi had finally settled down.

Zhang Tianyi asked Xiao Jiu to pour another glass, raised the glass and smiled at An Yi: "This cup is to honor you on behalf of my wife and children, let's do it!" ”

An Yi laughed: "Okay, you can't drink you when I was in school, I'm afraid you can't drink me now, let's take it easy!" Lao Zhang, listen to me, how about you come out to lead the troops after a year and a half of transition in the military academy? I've figured it out, if Zhang Huizan had listened to your persuasion, the famous 18th Division would not have ended up in a completely annihilated army, so you guy's life is big, and you can't jump off the cliff after being surrounded, and when you find the woodcutter who saved your life, you have to thank people. ”

"There's no way to thank you, I've looked for him in the past two years, he died, I guess he died because he couldn't bear to save my life, and even the house was burned to ashes......"

Zhang Tianyi looked sad, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, smiled bitterly, suddenly poured a glass, and slowly put the empty cup on the table: "That's it, that's it, just lead the troops, I just want to do my meager part, guard the military academy for the brothers, and send more talents to our army's departments, I am not interested in other things, in fact, this is already very good." ”

Ye Cheng comforted: "Brother Tianyi, over the years, who of us brothers has never lost a battle?" Even our commander was chased and killed thousands of miles by Sun Chuanfang's troops and the Zhilu coalition army at the beginning, and more than 10,000 people fled back less than 2,000. There is also my brother, who was captured by our commander in Fengxincheng back then, when I and Yang Bin and Qu Muchen pretended to be small soldiers and tried to deceive them, but they were still found out, and the grizzled bear looks like a sheepish bear are embarrassed to mention it now, shame! ”

The brothers laughed loudly, and Shen Fengdao, who was not smiling, couldn't help laughing, although he didn't know who An Yi was at that time, but it was indeed not easy to let Ye Cheng, who seemed to be easy-going but actually had his eyes above the top, to reveal his scars, which was enough to see that Ye Cheng respected and accepted Zhang Tianyi in his heart.

Shen Fengdao was even a little grateful to Ye Cheng, because Zhang Tianyi was his Shen Fengdao's life-saving benefactor, if Zhang Tianyi hadn't come to steal the beam and change the pillar on the execution ground, where would he be now? As the chief of the general staff of the An Jiajun, Ye Cheng respects Zhang Tianyi, which is equivalent to respecting him Shen Fengdao.

Zhang Tianyi smiled gratefully: "The chief of staff is polite, it's not that the junior brother has lost his sharpness, but after so many things, the junior brother finally knows where his flaws are, and he knows where he is more suitable for himself, so that he can make more contributions to our entire collective, and can he be conscientious and live up to everyone's affection." ”

"Brother Tianyi is too humble, come! Cheers to Brother Tianyi's speedy recovery and smooth resumption! Zhan arrived, Lao Shen, let's come together, please! Ye Cheng stood up and drank first as a respect, and the brothers suddenly agreed.

An Yi put down his wine glass, a little surprised by the huge change in Zhang Tianyi's mentality, but after thinking about it, he could also understand his feelings, with his current identity and qualifications, it was indeed not very suitable to lead troops to fight in the fierce An Jiajun, and cultivating talents at the non-commissioned officer school could maximize his advantages.

Zhang Tianyi's hearty, persistent and affectionate personality, as well as his practical experience in graduating from Whampoa from an engineer company commander to a division chief of staff, and then graduating with excellent grades from the Soviet and Russian Frunze Military Academy majoring in tactics, are enough to make him shine without guilt.

More importantly, Zhang Tianyi has important advantages that many generals in An Jiajun do not have - he is a brother-in-law with An Yi, and he is also one of the life-saving benefactors of Shen Fengdao, the number one master in the army.

"Commander, what do you think? Are you still thinking about compilation? Zhan Zhi saw that An Yi was not in his mind, and asked curiously.

An Yi snorted, concealed his thoughts, glanced at everyone, and said in a low voice: "I have something to tell you, after I left the office of the commission in the afternoon, I met Xu Peigen, who took over Ge Jingen as the director of aviation some time ago, in the courtyard. When I saw his face full of spring breeze, I asked him what was the happy event? He whispered to me that the Air Force Command had finally been established, and from now on the Air Force would be under the leadership of the Central Military Commission and would no longer be interfered with by the Government Council.

"I joke that what's there to be happy about this little? He smiled and said to me that it is naturally nothing to An Jiajun, but it is a big deal to improve the aviation strength of the whole country, and let me be mentally prepared first, saying that he must turn our Syrian Aviation School into the Central Aviation School of Xufu Branch. I also joked and said don't dream, unless you pay for it, it's all about it. He immediately said to me proudly: Don't be complacent, you kid, sooner or later your 70-odd good planes will be mine, and when I finish receiving the Hunan Air Force in the past two days, I will fight you every day. Only then did I understand that the two airports that He Jian had worked so hard to build in the past two years, the 23 planes he had purchased, and the newly built Hengyang Aviation School had been taken into the pocket by Chairman Jiang in the blink of an eye! What a clever way to sit down! ”

The brothers were shocked and worried about the memory of their air force.

An Yi didn't care, seeing that everyone was asking himself, what should he do? After thinking about it, he said something that surprised the brothers very much: "If we take our aviation unit to fight Japan, I An Yi will not send a penny of fuel, if I want to use it to fight a civil war, Lao Tzu will not even give a screw, whoever has the ability will send troops to rob it, who is afraid of whom!" ”
