Chapter 950: Plans change quickly
readx;
Chun thought that An Yi was indeed acting for himself, and he was mantra with strength, and it had been a few days since Lao Nanchang opened a warehouse for disaster relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But until now, he has not opened his mouth to ask the central government and him Chiang Kai-shek for a penny, and he has sent two generals under his command to come at one time, which is enough to see An Yi's affection in this issue. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's face softened a little: "How did you talk to An Yi?" ”
Kong Xiangxi hesitated: "He doesn't want to give the central government any more loans" On the day he arrived in Syria, at his family banquet in Xiyuan, Ziwen almost quarreled with him, Ziwen sarcastically ridiculed him as a selfish and self-serving big warlord who only cares about the interests of his own group, An Yi immediately forced Ziwen to pay a debt, saying that the central government has owed him An Yi more than 54 million yuan so far, and now the government in southern Sichuan is not rich, and it is impossible to settle it. Ziwen was angry and immediately replied: "There is no need to ask for money, there is a life." 's cruel words suddenly made An Yi angry enough, and immediately ridiculed Ziwen, and as he spoke, the two slapped the table and stood up, very emotional, Wen Bai and Zu Yan and I hurriedly grabbed the two. Only then did Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widen without fighting, and then he laughed: "Haha! Very good, Ziwen finally met An Yi, a hooligan, interesting, what happened later? ”
Kong Xiangxi suddenly despised Chiang Kai-shek in his heart, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly, not in a hurry to answer, but hung up Chiang Kai-shek's appetite.
Kong Xiangxi put down the teacup and helped his glasses. Then he said: "Under our persuasion, An Yi first put away his temper and proposed that since the central government had no money to pay him back, he would hedge the import and export tax of the Jiangnan Group. Ziwen immediately refused, only two words no way".
Chiang Kai-shek slightly: "Or Ziwen takes into account the overall situation, this year is the peak period for repaying debts, if the Jiangnan Group and the "South Enterprise Group", which account for nearly half of the country's total import and export volume, hedge their debts, won't it make the central finances stretched and lose credit?" ”
Kong Xiangxi was slightly taken aback, and finally knew that An Yi's loan of more than 50 million yuan might not go back for a year and a half, so he shook his head and continued. Let Chiang Kai-shek realize the seriousness of the problem:
"Yes, we all thought so, I wanted to talk to An Yi kindly, ask him to understand the hardships of the central government, and postpone the loan repayment period for one year, but I didn't expect Ziwen to be angry and not give An Yi face at all. Just when we were very worried that the two of them would quarrel again, An Yi smiled.
"What? The central government can't pay him back, can he still laugh? Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised.
Kong Xiangxi replied: "Yes, we were also surprised at the time, we felt that something was wrong, but as soon as An Yi opened his mouth, he understood it all, he said that since this is the case, he will add a little more freight, and take 6 routes through Guangxi and Yunnan, and he will be able to smuggle it as an armed man, and the emperor is far away, and no one dares to do anything to him, and when the time comes, the central government will not only not be able to collect a penny of tariffs from him, but also have to repay his debts as scheduled, otherwise he will make public the loan agreement between the central government and the Jiangnan Group and the National Bank through radio stations and newspapers and magazines." As soon as he finished speaking, we were all helpless, and Ziwen was so angry that he almost dropped the cup. ”
Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly became gloomy, and he muttered: "So, An Yi really came together with Li Delin Bai Jiansheng?"
As far as I know, although the Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou regions have maintained economic and trade exchanges with the Guizhou system, the amount is not large. Guangxi is a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters, how much exhibition funds can be made? Several mines and smelters in northwest Guangxi are still built with loans, and it is not a problem to get food and clothing, but if you want to make a big show, how easy is it? As for other fields, "Xiang Dian Ling has not established a relationship with the Gui family, and they are also worried that they will be implicated and the gains outweigh the losses." Kong Xiangxi put forward his own opinion.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded noncommittally, Kong Xiangxi pondered for a while, and finally said an important news: "An Yi went on to say his hardships, saying that he really didn't have much liquidity in his hands, and the stall in southern Sichuan was spread out too big all of a sudden, and it was too late to regret it now; It is estimated that another 10 million or 20 million will have to be invested this year and next year to finally solve the problem of food and clothing and slowly stabilize the situation. Due to the crisis on the Sino-Burmese border, the Yunnan army urgently dispatched more than 4 million guns, ammunition and materials from Xiangxi and Syria arsenals, and An Yi had to pay for them in advance, otherwise the factory would have to stop working; Coupled with the imminent relief and resettlement of millions of disaster victims, the central government has not allocated a penny to him, and he needs to urgently raise funds to tide over the difficulties", alas, I think he is also in a hurry. The night before we returned, An Yi approached me and decided to transfer his and Zhou Chong'an's 40 percent stake in the National Industrial and Commercial Bank. After thinking about it, I finally agreed to him, and planned to return to Nanjing tomorrow to deal with the affairs, and the day after tomorrow to hold a shareholders' meeting in Shanghai, where everyone would find a way to raise funds and take over all the shares held by An Yi and Zhou Chongan, so that the operation of the bank would be more stable, so as not to make a mess like some time ago
"An Yi is really willing to quit the National Industrial and Commercial Bank? Chiang Kai-shek was puzzled.
Kong Xiangxi nodded again: "This time it's true, even Ziwen was surprised, put away his temper and persuaded An Yi to calm down and think about it before making a decision, in the upcoming monetary reform, the National Industrial and Commercial Bank, which ranks among the top three in the country in terms of scale and strength, has a good chance of obtaining the monetary exercise privilege granted by the Ministry of Finance." At this time, withdrawing is equivalent to throwing away the huge benefits that are about to be received in vain. Helplessly, An Yi made up his mind, and immediately decided not to keep those shares, and explained to himself that suffering losses is a blessing, and we can't say anything more. ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slowly: "So to speak." He's really having a hard time turnover
"It should be so, and Ziwen also thinks the same way? In the past few months, the secret transfer of the old Nanchang enterprises belonging to the Jiangnan Group has been carried out in an orderly manner, the bicycle factory, the rickshaw factory, and the freight yards of the three wharves distributed on the edge of the Ganjiang River have been sold to the local chaebol, the radio factory has been sold to the Hong Company in Xijiang, the agricultural machinery factory has all been transferred to me and the Yu family, the department store, the grain, oil and food factory have been transferred to several presidents of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, and no one dares to take over the imitation weaving, printing and dyeing factory disassembled and loaded on the ship, and the overall relocation has been relocated to southern Sichuan. Pharmaceutical factories and these pillar enterprises will also be gradually transferred, and it seems that An Yi and Jiangnan Group are really going to give up the old Nanchang base.
"I'm actually very worried that after Jiangnan Group withdraws from Jiangxi, the industrial and commercial bases around old Nanchang will slowly decline. Judging from the sharp decline in tax revenue in the first half of this year, this kind of worry is not groundless, after all, in terms of management experience, production technology, marketing, etc., there is no enterprise in Guangguo that can compare with Jiangnan Group. If you don't get it right, you will leave a water mouth. Kong Qunxi sighed faintly after speaking.
Chiang Kai-shek's heart tightened suddenly, he didn't know that the Jiangnan clique's step-by-step and planned retreat was a big loss to Jiangxi's finances and even the entire central government, but the contradictions in the previous life were irreparable, and Chiang Kai-shek believed that An Yi also had resentment and wariness against himself and the central government. With such a resolute action, regardless of gains and losses, showing his anger and confrontation, from the moment, An Yi and the Jiangnan Group have suffered heavy losses, but in the long run, they will not necessarily suffer, at least these large and medium-sized enterprises that have moved to Xiangxi, southern Sichuan and even Yunnan will not have to pay taxes in the future, and in many respects Chiang Kai-shek and the central government will be more passive, such as the sharing of military technology, the procurement of advanced weapons and equipment, etc., which will undoubtedly increase a lot of expenditures, and it is not okay not to buy from An Yi, Just the steel helmet and combat clothing, there is no one in the country that has the excellent quality, unique design and low price of An Yi's subordinate factory.
The two continued to talk for more than half an hour, Kong Xiangxi got up to say goodbye and left, and Chiang Kai-shek once again instructed the secretary to call to find Yang Bin, who was in Nanchang for a meeting.
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Bin's telephone was connected, and Yang Bin respectfully greeted Chiang Kai-shek and reported several important things to Chiang Kai-shek: 1. In view of the fact that the Red Army in the Sichuan-Hunan region had moved north into the western Hubei region, the 44th Army in western Xiangxi; The division slowly followed up and forced it to the front line at the junction of Hunan and Hubei not to advance, so as to avoid misunderstanding among friendly forces; The two divisions of the 24th Army have been withdrawn to the front line of Wulong, Nanchuan, and Wanshengchang, and are on strict alert; 2. An Yi's mixed aviation squadron, consisting of 12 planes, has secretly flown to Kunming and temporarily placed under the unified command of the Yunnan Army Command. a great deterrent to the British army; Within 3 or 15 days, four grain ships will sail from Hong Kong, Nanyang, and other places to Pukou and Nanchang; Fourth, An Yi secretly dispatched a political team and a news gathering team to go deep into western Yunnan, and the interview materials have been transmitted back for 6 consecutive years. From tomorrow onwards, all resources and connections, as well as the three channels of South Sichuan Radio News, Literature and Art, and Science and Technology, will be mobilized to set off an anti-British wave.
Yang Bin finally added that due to time constraints, his secret report had been forwarded to the Nanchang Administration Office to be presented to Chiang Kai-shek on his behalf. Starting tomorrow, the temporarily established disaster relief committee will begin to solve the problem of resettlement of the victims in Nanchang City, and the 12 passenger and cargo ships of the Yangtze River Shipping Company are being requisitioned, and those who are willing to move to the south will be given priority care, and those who do not want to leave will also be organized and dispersed as soon as possible to more than a dozen refugee areas on the outskirts of Nanchang that are being built in a hurry.
Chiang Kai-shek put down the phone, his heart was very heavy, and he sat in his chair and pondered silently, it seemed that he would not be able to sleep again tonight.
The next day, Nanchang's disaster relief efforts began as reported by Yang Cheng. In every temporary resettlement site in old Nanchang, the officers and soldiers of the left-behind units of the Anjia Army held iron horns. Non-stop publicity:
"Young men who are willing to participate in the Anjia Army please go to the gate of the recruiting office to register, and then undergo a physical examination, once admitted, immediately put the military uniform, transferred to the Anjia Army garrison barracks, and become a member of the Anjia Army, the father, the elders, wives, children, brothers and sisters of the family can give priority to the relocation to southern Sichuan, and once they arrive in southern Sichuan, they will immediately divide the house and land and distribute the food; If you don't want to be a soldier and want to settle down in southern Sichuan, please go to the innermost long table to find the reception officers and soldiers, and someone will immediately lead them out on a steamer; Those who do not want to be soldiers and do not want to move to southern Sichuan will not move where they are. ”
As soon as the announcement came out, more than a dozen temporary refugee resettlement sites distributed outside the old Nanchang city were full of people. Like a bazaar, the victims of the disaster were running around and discussing everywhere, and if it were not for the officers and soldiers of the garrison to pull the cordon with ropes in advance, one resettlement point after another would have to trample on the dead.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Jian was busy in Nanchang City. Entering the Jiangnan Institute of Technology in a military vehicle, I was shocked when I saw that the playground was full of conscripts, at least more than 4,000 people.
On the left side of the playground, under the guidance of the veterans, the recruits lined up in a long line, the first to arrive at the sanitary place set up in the table tennis court, more than 20 veterans waved the scissors in their hands, and a recruit pressed on the stool to shave off his head, and was immediately taken to a long washing sink in front of the canteen, and more than 20 wet veterans took rubber hoses and poured them on the panicked recruits, and kept shouting "soap is in front of you, if you don't wash your body within two minutes, Immediately kicked out of the barracks".
On the right side of the playground, the recruits who had washed their bodies ran naked to a long slippery table, hugged their second child in horror, lined up barefoot to receive towels, clothes, pants and shoes, and after holding a large bag of things, they rushed to the 100-meter stand 50 meters away, and wiped their bodies tremblingly, hurriedly putting on their clothes and pants, and many of them still had soap bubbles on their heads.
Surrounded by a group of school captains, Xia Jian stood majestically in the middle of the playground, grinning widely, and gloating:
"This group of recruits has an okay physique, it is estimated that they are all one in a hundred, haha, look, the health team led by Lao Wang Tou is afraid that the front of the car has been cut flat, he ***, what is Zhang Songlin doing standing at such a high place? Do you still need him, the battalion commander of the major, to charge the recruits personally? Go, call that grandson to me, "What are the transport vehicles doing?"
Ye Qingfeng, chief of staff of the garrison brigade, hurriedly replied: "The transportation company has sent the clothes and pants taken off by the recruits to various resettlement points, and these clothes and pants can still be used after disinfection." Next, I don't know how many refugees will pour into Lao Nanchang, and I can save a little bit
"Wow! Qingfeng, you kid is quite good at being in charge, it seems that the commander did the right thing to keep you in Lao Nanchang Xia Jian praised him with a big grin.
Ye Qingfeng approached Xia Jian with a shy face: "Deputy commander, it's time to transfer the junior brother to you, right?" The brothers all have a twist to lead the troops to fight, and the younger brother stays here to take care of the family, which is not a thing! ”
"Get out of the way, don't be delusional in at least two months, if you get it done this time, Lao Tzu will transfer you to the instructor to be a brigade commander, if you can't recruit 30,000 good soldiers, you can continue to stay here." Xia Jian said nakedly.
Ye Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "Didn't Ji Rong only recruit 20,000 recruits?" ”
"Nonsense! Where is Ji Ge changing fast? The entire Nanchang area is pressed by more than one million people, and it is not necessary to take the opportunity to make more moves to enrich its strength. It's too late to regret it later, hey, you've been the chief of staff for so many years, and you didn't even expect this."
