Chapter 649: Shanghai Before the Storm

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, An Yi, who had been drunk all night on the painting boat, said goodbye to two girls who looked resentful and secretly sighed that someone was a stupid goose who was incomprehensible, and took Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong back to "Chenglu", first went to the guest room to take a hot bath, and then changed into a set of clean military uniforms and came to the main hall. As a result, at Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, he could only enter the conference room and sit down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Huang Ying, Chen Guofu, Kong Xiangxi and others present all greeted An Yi affectionately, and jokingly asked him if he fell into the gentle nest last night and couldn't wake up? An Yi shook his head and smiled, but did not answer, and the corner of his eye saw the disdainful look on He Yingqin's face, and he didn't care.

Through the secret conversation with Huang Shaohong just now, Chiang Kai-shek immediately understood that An Yi had moved one of the three giants of the new Gui family when he met Huang Shaohong for the first time, and Huang Shaohong, who was depressed and full of passion for the future, very readily agreed to Chiang Kai-shek's invitation to take up an important position in the new government, and made it clear that as long as he was not allowed to lead his troops to attack the original Gui brothers, for the sake of national dignity and national interests, he would be sent by Commander-in-Chief Chiang.

Chiang Kai-shek was very happy to recruit the former commander of the Gui Army, who still has far-reaching influence in the Liangguang army, and also realized that this was An Yi's credit from Huang Shaohong's respect and praise for An Yi, so he didn't care about his "occasional indulgence", but realized that An Yi's influence and persuasiveness on a specific object in some aspects were extraordinary, so as soon as he saw An Yi come in, his mood became very happy, and he deliberately let An Yi stay and participate in the discussion of core issues to show his appreciation.

More than two hours later, the discussion was interrupted, and I heard that there were too many people who had come to visit Chiang Kai-shek on his comeback, and all of them had a deep background and were very important to Chiang Kai-shek's reinstatement, so Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to slack off at all, so he could only temporarily adjourn the meeting and go out to greet him.

An Yi took this opportunity to leave quietly, took Adjutant Shen Fengdao to the communication car in the backyard, ordered several confidential personnel in the attendant room who were still studying in the car to leave for a while, and instructed the subordinates who served as instructors to get in touch with the brothers in various departments and the Nanchang headquarters as soon as possible, and returned to the dormitory with a thick stack of messages an hour later, and began to sort out and judge the changes in the situation, focusing on studying the information transmitted by Shanghai.

A few days later, Wang Jingwei secretly arrived from Shanghai, had a secret discussion with Chiang Kai-shek for half a day, and then immediately sent a joint telegram to Hu Hanmin, a veteran of the party in Guangzhou, to return to Nanjing to take charge of state affairs.

The issuance of this telegram marked that Chiang Kai-shek and Wang had once again reached an understanding for their respective interests and were back together, and to put it mildly, they had completed another political division of spoils, and laid a solid political foundation for Chiang Kai-shek's comeback -- at least, there was no force that could stop Chiang Kai-shek from regaining his hegemony after the unification, Chiang Kai-shek had taken a step back to gain the support of the opposition party, and Wang Ching-wei would be able to stay on the throne of the main leader of the country again, and there would be no need to go to Paris to buy perfume and go shopping on the streets with nothing to do.

As soon as Wang Jingwei left, Sun Ke, who was forced to sweat profusely and dreamed of being awakened by the harsh situation and dangerous situation, came one after another, but did not achieve any of the expected goals, Chiang Kai-shek was still polite and warm, that is, he did not give a penny, nor did he give any promises, and he could not lead Sun Ke, who was extremely lost in his heart, so he could only leave with hatred.

On the afternoon of 20 July, Chiang Kai-shek received a secret report from Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng and the news that Japanese monks had been killed and injured in a sudden clash and brawl with the workers of the Sanyou Industrial Company in China.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and the next morning he led his civil and military henchmen to Nanjing to make final arrangements and preparations for his reinstatement.

An Yi, who had become an indispensable senior staff member of Chiang Kai-shek's military affairs, was secretly ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to go to Shanghai to meet with Wu Tiecheng at this time, asking An Yi to assess the current situation and the possible determination of the Japanese army, and repeatedly told An Yi to try his best to avoid the deterioration of the situation, do everything possible to reduce the Japanese army's offensive pretext, and win the necessary preparation time for military preparations.

At the time of the breakup, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the communication vehicle to follow An Yi and Kang Ze and their entourage and urgently drive to Shanghai in case of emergency.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had already realized the wonderful use and preciousness of the communication vehicle, and although He Yingqin, who had a unique vision, had a prejudice against An Yi, he had to sincerely admire the emergence of this new type of communication facility, and felt that it could greatly enhance the army's combat effectiveness and strengthen control, and took the initiative to ask An Yi to speed up the pace of construction, and solemnly said that all departments of the Central Army were in great need of this convenient and fast new equipment.

In the evening of that day, An Yi's motorcade quietly entered the Shanghai Longhua Garrison Headquarters.

General Cai Tingkai, who received the news in advance, led his generals to greet him warmly, at this time An Yi was still nominally the deputy chief of the staff headquarters, and he was the commander of each army in terms of rank and position, in addition, because An Yi himself has always enjoyed a good reputation for nostalgia and righteousness in the Guangdong army, and there was no grudge between the Guangdong army, and he got along very well, and at the beginning of the month, he solved the winter clothing problem for the 19th Route Army, so he was welcomed and close to the soldiers.

Cai Tingkai took An Yi's hand and walked into the gate of the headquarters together for dinner.

Due to the delay in the payment of military salaries, the dishes on the table are very simple, except for a plate of meat that can only see two or three slices of meat, there are a few plates of vegetarian dishes, but An Yi didn't care, and while eating, he had a detailed and in-depth discussion with Cai Tingkai and other generals of the Guangdong Army, inquired about the current situation of the Japanese army, and exchanged views on the layout adjustment and emergency plan of the 19th Route Army garrison area.

Although Cai Tingkai and other generals were worried about the current crisis, they were also arrogant and expressed their determination and courage to resist to the death, but they complained that their headquarters was extremely short of ammunition and extremely outdated weapons, and they were deeply afraid that they would be dragged down in case of a fight.

An Yi immediately said that he secretly mobilized 3 million rounds of ammunition and 10,000 mortar shells for the 19th Route Army within three days, regretting that the ammunition was from the stock of his Nanjing military station, and that the weapons and equipment could not be obtained quickly because the armies were changing their equipment and the Jiangnan Factory was carrying out heavy tasks, and even if they could get it, they would need to be submitted to the upper peak for approval before they could be allocated.

Cai Tingkai and the others are already very grateful to An Yi for being so righteous, where can they dare to expect to be able to obtain weapons and equipment? Moved to ask An Yi to stay and continue the night talk, but when An Yi was on the way, An Yi had already made an appointment with Wu Tiecheng to meet at a time, and he couldn't miss the appointment, and once the war between China and Japan started, he still needed the full support of the Shanghai government, so he had to send An Yi into the city and go directly to the entrance of the French Concession.

Cai Tingkai and the others returned to the headquarters, listened to the report of the subordinates that the communication vehicle parked in the courtyard was very mysterious, An Yi's guards strictly refused anyone to approach, and went together with curiosity, and after getting Lin Yaodong's permission, they approached the communication vehicle, looked left and right, sighed, and asked how much it would cost to buy it back from the United States?

Lin Yaodong didn't break it, and replied with a smile that it was nearly 400,000 yuan, and he immediately envied Cai Tingkai and others, sighed at An Yi's wealth and wide access, and wondered in his heart whether he would get one back when he was loose after Lao Jiang's comeback?

On the morning of the 22nd, An Yi and Wu Tiecheng, a veteran of the Kuomintang who had served as the director of the public security bureau after quelling the rebellion of the Guangzhou merchant group, and who had served as the commander of the Guangzhou garrison during the Northern Expedition, had a detailed conversation in his apartment all night.

An Yi took the invitation and read it, and asked if the person who came was still there? The guard nodded, and led the person in according to An Yi's instructions, and An Yi was very happy as soon as the two sides looked at each other, stepped forward and hugged the person who came, and laughed heartily. After greeting for a while, Dai Li took a step back with a smile on his face, pointed to An Yi's hand, and asked about the injury? After chatting for a long time, Dai Li found that he had snubbed the cold man in a straight suit of medium height behind him, and hurriedly introduced him. An Yi turned his head to see that it was Xin Yi, smiled and apologized, politely invited the two into the living room and ordered tea, and sat together and talked in a low voice.

An Yi really doesn't know much about Xin Yi, who is unsmiling and polite, but he can appreciate this person's extraordinaryness from his calm eyes and calm demeanor. An Yi had planned to meet Xin Yi in Nanjing before, but in order to save Tong Qianping, he rushed to Nanchang in advance and missed him, but from the introduction of He Jing and Hu Jialin, he still knew that this Xin Yi was one of Du Yuesheng's cadres, his reputation was not obvious, but his status was only below Wan Molin. Shen Fengdao, who was sitting next to An Yi, saw An Yi turn his head, nodded slightly, and tacitly conveyed a secret message: This person is indeed a master who hides but does not reveal it, and it is worth handing over.

Xin Yi also looked at Shen Fengdao calmly, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed slightly, and he politely saluted Shen Fengdao, then picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea, extremely leisurely.

Dai Li extinguished the lighter and spit out the smoke: "Brother Xian, how did the principal punish you?" ”

"Big brother still doesn't know? That's right, it's farther away from Xikou and Hangzhou, so it's normal to not know...... Rest assured, the punishment is not light or heavy, and the net is open! ”

An Yi saw Dai Li's look of anticipation, so he laughed in a low voice: "Demoted to lieutenant general, the party will be punished with a major demerit, and the younger brother is forbidden to fly the plane again, today the younger brother is wearing a suit, otherwise the eldest brother will see it at a glance." ”

Dai Li smiled with satisfaction: "Little meaning, with the ability of a virtuous brother, it is not a matter of time before he is promoted to the rank of general?" What is an intra-party demerit? Wang Zhaoming has also expelled the principal from the party, and the principal and Li Delin have also expelled Wang Zhaoming from the party. What happened to being a member of their Central Committee? It seems that the principal still cares about you very much, otherwise the others will not be able to eat and walk around with a single private gangster. ”

An Yi smiled slightly, picked up the invitation and apologized in a low voice: "Mr. Du Yong's little brother doesn't have time to go this time, and when I see He Jing and other friends later, the little brother has to rush back to Longhua and have a meeting with General Cai, and rush back to Nanjing immediately after it's over, I'm really sorry!" Brother Xin, please ask my brother to greet Mr. Du Yong on behalf of my younger brother and apologize on my behalf. ”

The general was polite, and the family teacher also talked about the general's busy schedule, and it was a little bit of a gesture to let the younger brother come to visit. Thanks to our close cooperation in finance, import and export, entertainment industry and east-west trade, now 'Sanxin Company' has a wide range of financial resources, and its career is thriving, and the family teachers and the whole family have great respect and gratitude to the general, especially the general's noble sentiments for the country and the people, and his outstanding ability in military and commercial affairs, so that Xin Yi is extremely admired. To be able to meet the general, Xin Yi is fortunate to have three lives! Xin Yi replied politely.

An Yi smiled and waved his hand again and again: "Brother Xin praised it, An Yi is ashamed!" ”

"Brother Xian, I came here today, but there is something that needs to trouble Brother Xian." Dai Li smiled.

"Big brother, please say, you and my brother, why are you so polite?" An Yi frowned and said unhappily.

Dai Lian laughed: "That's the case, Brother Xin Xian heard that among the thousands of American cars purchased by Brother Xian, there are a number of medium-sized cars with high chassis and high horsepower, which can transport people and goods, Brother Xin Xian's brothers are busy with business, and they have always wanted to buy a few such cars, but there is nowhere to buy, and they ordered from the American foreign company in Shanghai, but they were told that it would take three and a half months to do it, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to supply the kind of cars that are also produced in small batches in the United States. I would like to ask if Brother Xian can transfer five such cars? ”

"Five? Is five enough? If Brother Xin needs, it doesn't hurt to get a few more, this batch of cars was originally a car specially purchased by the younger brother for the army, it is indeed rare, and the American ** team also uses this kind of Chevrolet medium-sized boxcar, but unfortunately it is not four-wheel drive, otherwise it is more ideal. ”

An Yi turned to Shen Fengdao and whispered: "Go and call Mr. Zhou, and ask him to send someone to send five Chevrolet medium-sized vans to Shanghai as soon as possible, and let Xiao Zhu transfer them to Brother Xin, just put it on my account." ”

"Slow down!"

Xin Yi stood up and bowed his hand to An Yi in admiration: "Originally, I heard that General An was affectionate and generous to his friends, and he really lived up to his reputation, Xin Yi understood!"

To tell the truth, Xin Yi didn't need any car at all, just looking for an excuse to see what the general would do, and now it seems that Xin Yi has fallen into the inferior.

I'm sorry, general, Xin Yi apologizes to the general here, if there is a place for Xin Yi in the future, although the general commands, Xin Yi will definitely go all out, if the general can afford it, this friend Xin will make a deal! ”

Dai Li was slightly taken aback, looked at Xin Yi and asked in a loud voice, why are you hiding even the foolish brother?

An Yi shook his head and smiled, turned to Shen Fengdao and ordered loudly: "Brother Shen, go call, even if I give Brother Xin a little bit of heart to these five cars, this kind of car is indeed very suitable for the bad road conditions on the outskirts of the city, presumably Brother Xin will be able to use it one day, no need to refuse!" ”

Xin Yi bowed again, sighed for a long time, did not give in again, and showed a sincere smile on his tense Leng Jun face, and the whole person looked much more sunny and handsome.
