Chapter 1026 Expediency

After the British government rejected the puppet Manchurian regime in the three eastern provinces on the basis of its own interests, encouraging news came out from time to time in the negotiations between the Chinese and British governments. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the last two days of late March, the third group of 3,200 British-Burmese prisoners of war, under the supervision of the International Red Cross and officials from neutral countries in Europe and the United States, lined up to walk across the Kutani Bridge, which had been built again by the British and Burmese troops from logs. At this point, 7,250 captured officers and men of the British and Burmese troops were released, and only the last 3,820 or so remained in the Baoshan and Syrian prisoner of war camps.

When the news broke, all countries in the world expressed optimism about the peaceful settlement of the dispute between China and Britain, but the Japanese government and military were greatly disappointed and became angry.

On 30 March, the Japanese Kwantung Army suddenly sent troops to occupy Gubeikou, once again barbarously provoking the sensitive and fragile nerves of the Chinese people.

An Yi, who was in Shanghai with General Zhang Zhizhong and preparing to welcome the new German affairs adviser Fugenhausen, was very angry when he got the news, but he had no choice but to write a proposal in a hurry and send someone to deliver it to Chairman Jiang as soon as possible.

According to the orders of the Central Military Commission and the central government, any bill submitted to the military and political affairs of North China must be approved by Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission, before it can be discussed at a meeting.

After the welcome ceremony, An Yi did not continue to stay in Shanghai, and took his mother-in-law, who was going to serve her pregnant daughter, to Nanchang, and then let the plane fly directly to Syria, while she stayed.

Due to the Sino-US joint venture of China Airlines and the Sino-German joint venture of Eurasian Airlines for consecutive years, after more than half a year of negotiations, the completion of the capital reorganization, announced on April 1, the scale and route since then surpassed An Yi's Sichuan South Airlines, jumped to become the largest civil airline in China, but because many routes after the merger need to be re-planned, most of the country's flights within a week have been affected, Therefore, An Yi could only use his special plane to send his mother-in-law and two three aunts and six mothers-in-law (Feng Jieyun's mother and relatives) to Syria, accompanied by three military talents who returned from studying in Germany.

When An Yi arrived in Nanchang, the front line of the suppression of the communists was raging, and Chiang Kai-shek comforted An Yi, saying that Huang Ying would come from Beiping in a few days, and that a special executive meeting of the Central Military Commission would be held at that time, and the generals of various ministries would sit down together to discuss the North China issue.

An Yi, who was full of anxiety, had no choice but to wait patiently, and every day he either wandered around the various departments and bureaus of the Nanchang camp, or went to old Nanchang to have a glass of wine with Lao Shoudao, Sun Xiaowang and others who stayed behind, and discussed how to follow behind the Central Army and resume production in several rich tungsten mining areas in southern Jiangxi as soon as possible.

On April 6, Huang Yi rushed to Nanchang in the dust, but as soon as he appeared at the executive meeting, An Yi couldn't hold back: Huang Yi did not mention any news about Gubeikou, but instead took the Japanese request for the resumption of traffic and navigation between Northeast China and Guannai, and handed it over to everyone for discussion.

An Yi's face suddenly turned purple, and for the first time, in front of many important generals in the army, he asked Huang Yin, a senior he had always respected, about Gubeikou's question.

Huang Yin obviously came prepared, and replied lightly with a faint smile: The Japanese army did not occupy the Gubeikou Pass, but stationed troops on the high ground outside the pass, and did not violate the armistice agreement signed by the two previous ones.

An Yi glanced at the venue, and was finally completely disappointed by the reaction of Chiang Kai-shek and his colleagues, and everyone accepted Huang Yi's plausible and self-deceptive far-fetched statement, which made An Yi completely chilled. He clearly knew that Chiang Kai-shek, like all the military and political commissars present, devoted all his energy to exterminating the ** Red Army, and swallowed his anger at the Japanese invaders, like a flock of ostriches burying their heads in the sand, which was sad and lamentable.

In the next two days, there were still endless meetings, An Yi, who had tended to be numb, did not say a word from beginning to end, and the participants knew his thoughts, and no one dared to take the initiative to provoke him.

Within two days of the meeting, Huang Shaohong, who had already rushed to Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou to do his best to deal with Mongolian affairs, sent urgent reports one after another:

The army officer corps organized by the Japanese army went deep into the hinterland of Mongolia to incite ethnic hatred and independence; A wing of the Kwantung Army marched aggressively and occupied the eastern and northern parts of Chahar, which had been abandoned by local warlords. The Military Statistics Bureau and An Yi's Fourth Office sent a secret telegram from Tianjin, saying that the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin was brazenly conducting military exercises in the area where Song Zheyuan's troops were stationed on the outskirts of Tangshan.

Until the meeting broke up at noon on the 9th, none of the more than 30 participants was willing to mention the deep crisis in North China and the Recha region, and Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, who was originally majestic in the Great Wall War of Resistance and was deeply loved by the Chinese people, did not even make a minimum struggle this time, and He Yingqin, who was in charge of the North China military, only sent a two-sentence telegram and did not mention the matter again. Everyone was indifferent to the Japanese and had an indifferent wait-and-see attitude.

An Yi smiled bitterly, he finally understood why the Japanese invaders were so arrogant.

Although An Yi made a detailed analysis from the Japanese national strength to the number and combat strength of the Kwantung Army and the Tianjin garrison, he believed that the Japanese army was by no means ready for a full-scale war, and at this time, as long as it bravely met the provocation with a tough attitude, it could extinguish the arrogance of the Japanese invaders. However, everyone, including Chiang Kai-shek, believed that An Yi's statement lacked a minimum basis, pointing out that the Sino-Burmese border crisis had not yet been completely resolved, and the battle to exterminate the Red Army was in full swing, and victory was in sight.

At noon on April 9, An Yi, who had dismissed the meeting, did not look at the grand reception banquet, nor did he say goodbye to anyone, but drove directly to the airport, boarded the special plane waiting there, and flew directly to Syria.

When An Yi returned home, he closed the door, didn't eat dinner, and no one was allowed to enter the study, which made the family anxious. An Yi heard that even his mother-in-law came forward to comfort him outside the door, so he had no choice but to endure his grief, pretend to be smiling, open the door and say that there was nothing wrong, and forced himself to sit with the family and finish dinner, then take a shower and change clothes, and run to Jiang Yunshan's Chengnan Villa to drink under the pretext of a meeting.

After half a night of explanation by Jiang Yunshan, Mr. Qi and others, I felt a little better in my heart.

On the morning of the next day, China really seized this rare opportunity to telegraph the whole country and issued a "Letter to the People for the New Offensive of Japanese Imperialism in North China", calling on all walks of life throughout the country to launch a national revolutionary war, and under the anti-imperialist united front, regardless of political orientation, occupation and gender, to unite together to break off diplomatic relations with Japan, stop attacking the Soviet areas, and oppose the cowardly Kuomintang that compromised with Japan......

An Yi took the full text of the notice sent by Liu Qing, the director of intelligence, and sighed faintly in front of dozens of military and political dignitaries attending the meeting: "The Kuomintang will definitely pay a heavy price for this!" From this moment on, countless patriotic personages and young students throughout the country will become pessimistic and disappointed with the Nanjing government, and they will deviate from morality, and the bitter fruits planted by the Kuomintang themselves will have to be swallowed by themselves in the future! ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Yang Bin asked in a low voice, "Commander, it won't be so serious, right?" ”

An Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the matter is far more serious than I expected, think about it, how many patriotic young people have reached the point where they can't bear it, and after the country and the nation can't see hope, can they not go to extremes?" The two such veterans felt inexplicably sad and indignant, and were disheartened, not to mention the passionate patriotic youths? ”

Jiang Yunshan nodded approvingly: "The commander is very right! Recently, teachers and students of various universities in Syria have been discussing a lot of things, and many young teachers and student representatives have put forward many very sharp views at the discussion meeting on the current situation, and they are deeply disappointed with the central government. Our communication in southern Sichuan is developed, and colleges and universities gradually implement a relaxed education model, encouraging students to express their opinions and carry out rational discussions. ”

"At this time, the school must not be chaotic, if the school is in chaos, I am afraid that the good order that has been formed over the years will be ruined. In this way, if we generals have time during this period, we should try our best to participate in the discussions between teachers and students in various universities, and try to talk about the Sino-Japanese war that may occur at any time from a military point of view. An Yi said worriedly.

Jiang Yunshan said with a smile: "Fortunately, the timely search and arrest last month had a remarkable effect, and many teachers and students who were in a hurry left southern Sichuan with our friendly farewell, otherwise I really don't know how much trouble would have happened." If my estimate is correct, the education community and universities in the Pingjin area will respond soon, and we will try to do our best to get ahead of the curve. ”

Ye Cheng thought for a while and suggested: "I see if we can do this, starting from this month, the military training of students from various colleges and universities will be carried out in advance?" Moreover, I suggest that the period of one month be extended to 45 days, so as to be as close as possible to the regular training of the army; if we can find some good seedlings who are interested in joining the army, we might as well immediately absorb them into the seventh phase of the non-commissioned officer school, so that we can not only cultivate the style of martial arts, but also let the students know that it is not easy for the army to fight a war in the arduous training. I believe that after dozens of days of arduous military training and political education unique to our military, the students will be much more mature in their consideration of issues. ”

"I agree with Chief of Staff Ye's opinion that our Jiangfang troops have just completed their special training for half a year, and they have no combat readiness tasks at present, and they are willing to accept one or two thousand students to be stationed in the training." Deputy Commander Lu Guang immediately agreed.

Yang Bin expressed his opinion: "It may be better to send female students who are willing to sign up for internships in the West Yunnan Field Hospital to South Yunnan and West Yunnan for rotation training in batches." ”

Dong Zechuan said with a smile: "It would be better if some student cadres could be assigned to the garrison troops, go to the Wulong, Nanchuan, and Wansheng garrison units to assist our technical expert team and the county-level government in conducting population census and agricultural extension. ”

Soon, a three-month huge plan combining military training, agricultural support and social practice in colleges and universities in southern Sichuan showed its prototype, which removed a big heart disease for the managers of Anyi Group.

This was a helpless expedient measure, but it eventually developed into a good tradition of universities in southern Sichuan, and played an unexpected and huge role in the future of An Jiajun and the entire Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou regions, which no one expected by a group of initiators.
