Chapter 1078 A rare tacit understanding

After the October Revolution in Soviet Russia, in order to maintain a peaceful environment for the nascent Soviet government in the Far East, Lenin issued the "First Declaration on China," proposing to abolish the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty," the "Xincho Treaty" signed between China and Russia, and the treaty of aggression against China signed between Russia and Japan. On September 27, 1920, the civil war and armed intervention in Soviet Russia entered a critical stage, and the Russian government once again issued the "Second Declaration on China", clearly declaring that "all treaties concluded between the previous Russian governments and China are null and void, and all the territories previously seized of China are abandoned", but with the gradual stabilization of the domestic situation in Soviet Russia, its government no longer mentioned its previous commitments, and also took advantage of China's civil strife to make it in the Ussuri River and Heilongjiang River areas. More than 600 of the more than 700 Chinese islands on the Chinese side of the center line of the main channel were demarcated, covering an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, and in 1929, a war broke out with the Northeast Army for the Eastern Railway, and the Soviet army captured Tongjiang, a major border area in China, and then stormed Zalanor and Manchuria, in December of that year, the Nanjing government was forced to sign the "Protocol of the Sino-Soviet Boli Conference" with Soviet Russia, and swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat with hatred.

Now, Soviet Russia shamelessly resells the railways that originally belonged to China to the illegal puppet Manchu government, and the contempt and rudeness contained in it pierces the hearts of the Chinese.

An Yi made a decision under the anger of the decision, which is equivalent to severing all contacts with Soviet Russia from then on, among which the decision to tear up the trade contract and stop exporting strategic materials such as tungsten, antimony, tung oil, pig bristles, and industrial tea oil to Soviet Russia has dealt a great blow to Soviet Russia, and it is difficult to estimate it, and at present, 70 percent of the country's tungsten and antimony exports are monopolized by the two major industrial and commercial groups under An Yi's command, and the local specialties of industrial tea oil, tung oil and rosin, except for Li Zongren's Guangxi, are almost all controlled by An Yi Group. These kinds of agricultural products, which account for 90 percent of the world's output, are mainly produced in the four provinces of Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou within An Yi's sphere of influence. It is precisely because of annoying An Yi that he now has to pay a high price to buy these irreplaceable strategic materials from the chaebols of European and American countries.

An Yi is not afraid of the retaliation of Soviet Russia, and now there is no place for southern Sichuan to turn to Soviet Russia for help, and because of the economic crisis with Soviet Russia to compete with Soviet Russia for bankrupt factories and production materials in the United States and Europe, and successfully poached nearly 30% of the bankrupt factories, machinery and equipment and various materials from its hands, the Soviet Union's road to industrialization is not a smooth road.

Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased, supported An Yi's decisive decision, said as soon as possible to call Fujian Provincial Chairman Chen Yi, Hunan Provincial Chairman He Jian, strictly prohibit the export of tungsten ore to Soviet Russia, in order to show retaliation for Soviet Russia's arbitrary acts, as long as Hunan and Fujian, which occupy one-third of the country's tungsten output, follow An Yi's example, Soviet Russia will be out of stock from now on, at most it can only be the same as ***, buy from Europe and the United States at a high price.

To some extent, both Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi were strong nationalists, and in some ways Chiang Kai-shek even showed himself more direct and distinct than An Yi. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Chiang Kai-shek admired Mussolini and Hitler's set of ideas more, and his overall vision and foresight were much stronger than An Yi's, so he was very aware of the effect of An Yi's decision.

Without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to weigh it carefully, An Yi's decision made Chiang Kai-shek sigh secretly in surprise, and it was difficult to say anything about it. An Yi dictated the order, and Shen Fengdao personally recorded:

"First, due to the serious banditry in Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the serious impact on industrial and agricultural production, it is recommended that Mr. Zhou Chongan postpone the discussion of export contracts for various products in the second half of the year with business representatives of various countries for the sake of insurance; Second, since the major newly built enterprises in southern Sichuan have been successfully put into operation, we should make every effort to purchase tungsten ore, tea oil, ramie and other products produced by various enterprises in Jiangxi and transport them to the industrial base in southern Sichuan to ensure the production of the Group's enterprises; Thirdly, suspend the Group's transfer negotiations in Jiangxi mining and smelting enterprises, accelerate mining and production, increase the output of tungsten, antimony and other refined products as much as possible, and transport them back to the southern Sichuan reserve warehouse as appropriate. ”

Chiang Kai-shek waited for An Yi to sit back beside him, put down the water glass and asked in a low voice: "The supplementary decision you made just now, is it to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, or do you have other plans?" ”

An Yi replied truthfully: "The price increase is certain, it is impossible for the European and American powers to make us so comfortable and cheap, and after the price increase, it will hit *** and Soviet Russia even harder." However, the two major industrial reserve warehouses in Luzhou and Zhaotong, which are mainly students, are about to be completed, and from the second half of the year, they will have to store various strategic materials as planned, so as to be prepared. In addition, the three major grain reserves of Syria, Zhaotong, and Simao are also in full swing to build, and the new land planting area in southern Sichuan in the past two years is hundreds of thousands of acres, plus the promotion of improved seed planting, and the popularization of advanced agricultural technology, grain output has increased exponentially, but they have all been consumed by disasters all over the country, and there is no grain stored at all, and it is really difficult to cope with another major disaster.

"Students are more worried about the war, look at the current situation in North China, and then look at the continuous increase in the attack and crowding out of China's national industry, as well as the means to compete for various strategic materials in the international market, students feel that the war is not far away. Fortunately, the most important industrial base system in the southwest region has gradually improved, and the special steel, three acids and two alkalis, pharmaceutical, machinery, textile, petrochemical, rubber and plastic enterprises in southern Sichuan have been successfully put into operation in recent years. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly surprised, at a time when the whole people are not well fed and clothed, and the major chaebols and compradors from all over the country are desperately trying to make a fortune, An Yi thought of the construction of strategic materials and grain reserve warehouses, and it is about to be completed.

What moved Chiang Kai-shek even more was An Yi's feelings for the country and the people, and An Yi thought not of the gains and losses of his own one-third of an acre of land, but of the interests of the entire country and nation, and of the large-scale war that the entire country and nation were about to face, and silently made arduous efforts for this.

Long before that, Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi had talked more than once about what to do after the coastline was completely *** by the powerful *** navy? Therefore, although Chiang Kai-shek did not have the energy to manage the distant southern Yunnan region, but he supported An Yi's behavior of quietly increasing efforts to develop southern Yunnan, until An Yi and the French reached a tacit understanding and successfully opened up a fast and convenient material import and export trade route, the central government and the major domestic chaebols still felt that it was just a small fight and could not become a climate, only Chiang Kai-shek, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi saw the huge strategic significance, and all three of them deeply admired An Yi's vision and generosity.

Wanting to get it and doing it are completely different things, but An Yi not only thought of it, but also did it, and what he did was not ordinarily good, so good that Song Ziwen, who did everything possible to increase the country's financial resources, was anxious.

Again, Chiang Kai-shek did not put any pressure on An Yi, but secretly helped An Yi in terms of military and political rights and tax autonomy, in addition to being well aware of the righteousness and employing people, it was the recognition and appreciation of An Yi's personality and morality.

There is also an extremely important reason: the president is now Wang Jingwei, Wang Jingwei, who has no soldiers in his hands, has won the financial power of the entire country to the death, and Chiang Kai-shek, the vice president and chairman of the Military Commission, is also a lot of anger, so Chiang Kai-shek simply left the finances alone, and devoted all his energy to the battlefield of suppressing the Communist Party, and only wanted to settle the internal troubles before returning to settle accounts with Wang Jingwei.

However, after Wang Jingwei grasped the financial power, not only did he not make any achievements, but only knew how to issue all kinds of bonds, and got money from the people of the whole country, and in the end he got a lot of money back, but the whole country was full of holes, and there were big holes everywhere, and Wang Jingwei did not have enough money in his hands, and he would not use it, and as a result, he could not see any achievements, but instead made debts piled up, day by day, he had reached the edge of unsustainability, and now he wanted to issue bonds, and no one bought them. Wang Jingwei has also reached the point of despair. At this time, only An Yi can help Wang Jingwei in China and even the world.

And An Yi for some reason, it seems that he will always have a prejudice against Wang Jingwei, although he is polite and polite when he meets, but he never buys Wang Jingwei's account, which Chiang Kai-shek is happy to see in his eyes, and he also sees An Yi's performance as loyalty to his principal, so after seeing that he can't get southern Sichuan, he not only supports this hot land to continue to maintain a high degree of autonomy, but also never mentions southern Yunnan, even if Song Ziwen, who is busy with the finances of the entire country and is on the verge of the end of the road, Kong Xiangxi has seen that the wealth of southern Yunnan is flowing in an uproar, and Chiang Kai-shek still does not have the slightest support for the central government to get involved in southern Yunnan, because over the past few years, An Yi's quality and mind Chiang Kai-shek knows very well that every time he encounters a major disaster and every time the country is overstretched, An Yi will come forward, and as long as Chiang Kai-shek speaks, An Yi will vigorously support and never be stingy, and do better than Chiang Kai-shek hoped.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek is very confident in An Yi, he knows that as long as it is at the juncture of the party-state crisis, or facing a major natural disaster**, as soon as he, the principal, speaks, An Yi will not hesitate to support it.

As for other things, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't need to be heart-wrenching at all, and Wang Jingwei, who has a big eye and a small belly, works hard, and Chiang Kai-shek gradually recognizes An Yi's words: He will never use money on those central officials who have no bones, and he will never use money on all kinds of selfish warlords who ignore the interests of the country and the nation.

An Yi saw Chiang Kai-shek holding the empty cup, bowed his head and said nothing, quietly took the thermos and filled Chiang Kai-shek with water, the surrounding generals and schools were always far away, and no one dared to disturb the conversation between the two.

"Yongzhi and Ziwen are almost here, right?" Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and asked.

"The weather in Nanjing is not good, the plane is delayed to take off, and there is still about an hour to arrive, and the aircraft factory and arsenal have been arranged, try to save time for the principal and Mr. Yongzhi." An Yi replied in a low voice.

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly remembered something: "I remember that you mentioned to me in Wuhan that in addition to the Economic Liaison Office, people from the German side and two research institutes also quietly came to Syria, right?" ”

An Yi nodded: "Yes, two days ago, after visiting our radar research institute, they went to Jiangbei to participate in our radar test experiments, judging from the reaction of the Germans in the past two days, they were very shocked by our radar technology, and they were extremely eager to ask for technology transfer and cooperative research."

"The students did not immediately agree to them, nor did they provide them with any technical parameters, but only asked these dozens of German experts and military representatives to visit other institutes, believing that within three days the Germans would understand what we needed and what they could offer us in exchange. If the principal gives instructions, the students will obey them. ”

"Very good, you have done a really good job, and the huge investment has finally paid off with fruitful results, which is something to be proud of! It's just a pity that these are highly confidential matters, and I can't publicly praise you, nor can I give you a big credit for the hundreds of researchers and technicians under your command, and I can't go away. In terms of foreign cooperation and research, you, the deputy chief of staff of the whole army, have autonomy and leadership, and you don't have to worry about it, you just do what you want. Chiang Kai-shek once again gave An Yi great trust.

An Yi said gratefully: "Thank you for the principal's trust, the students will live up to the principal's expectations." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you, at the end of the month, the Central Committee will be held, and you will attend, it will be about the reform of the army, and at this meeting, the military rank system that has been drafted by you will be supplemented, and the Central Committee will re-award the military ranks of the main generals of the country." Your second-level generals have turned positive this time, and there are not many of them, there are only eight first-level generals, all of whom are party-state veterans, and there are twenty-two second-level generals. At least more than half of the generals will be removed, and the ranks awarded by the local armies themselves will be invalid, and the relevant departments of the Central Military Commission will re-evaluate, check, and describe, and then re-confer titles. However, your An Jiajun is an exception, you have always done a good job, this time you report it yourself, and I will ask Lin Wei, the director of the Quanxu Department, to sign it. ”

"Principal Xie! On behalf of all the students, we would like to thank the principal for his love and cultivation! An Yi stood up and thanked him respectfully.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't pick up Yongzhi and Ziwen, after you pick them up, we will start to visit the aircraft factory and various military enterprises." ”

An Yi agreed: "Yes!" Rector, do you agree to the request of the German Economic and Commercial Liaison Officer in South Sichuan to meet with the members of the German delegation? ”

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and stood up: "Forget it this time, since the Germans are coming secretly, it is not good to make a big move, you can convey the meaning for me, if they are willing, I can meet them in Nanjing during the meeting of the Central Committee later this month." ”

"Understood!" An Yi nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Chiang Kai-shek stopped An Yi: "Don't quarrel with Ziwen, you let him order, he was also forced by Wang Jingwei to be anxious and had no choice, so he beat your idea, if you don't agree, you don't have to quarrel, Yongzhi will do a good job between you and him." ”

An Yi understood, nodded and left with a smile with Yang Bin and the others.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and called Ye Cheng and the others, walked to the map together, and continued to discuss the battlefield in Guizhou.
