Chapter 510: What if the grudge is settled

A press conference that was supposed to be a routine affair ended in a hurry, but the huge impact it brought about made the upper echelons of the Northwest Army resentful, and it was difficult to let go for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the reporters attending the meeting were not only reporters from Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Henan, who were obedient to their words and plans under the rule of the Northwest Army, but most of them were reporters from newspapers in the north and south of the country, and all of them were able to send reporters to the newspapers in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningbo at such a time, all of them were newspapers that distributed a wide area and had great influence, and An Yi's pretending to be deaf and stupid and making a solemn promise at the meeting venue had already made Chinese and foreign reporters see through the intricate relationships among them, and all kinds of news, commentaries, documentaries, and predictions began to rise to the dust. It was extremely unfavorable to the Northwest Army, which was trying to divert its attention and carefully prepare for war.

At night, the angry Feng Yuxiang sternly reprimanded Han Fuqu for overstepping his authority on the phone, and ordered him to send the two trains of grain to Xi'an within 12 hours, otherwise the military law would be engaged.

After reprimanding Han Fuqu, Feng Yuxiang lost his temper with Zhang Zhijiang, Sun Liangcheng and others, and said angrily What happened to the female reporter named Wu Yingyi? Why was she chosen to ask questions? Don't you count the words that have been prepared in advance? And in response to An Yi's answer, why didn't he organize a counterattack? In the end, the default attitude adopted was very bad, and people who didn't understand thought that the Northwest Army was really bandits!

In the end, Feng Yuxiang said to himself: A group of self-righteous old rivers and lakes have let a doll be at the mercy of a monkey, which is annoying! Shameful! Hateful!

From the moment Feng Yuxiang became angry, a group of generals of the Northwest Army blushed, lowered their heads and listened, not even daring to cough, the atmosphere was embarrassing and dull.

On the morning of the next day, He Yaozu led the central delegation to the platform of Huashan Station, and Zhang Zhijiang, who came to respectfully bid farewell, told He Yaozu unapologetically: Huan Gong has been in poor health, and his old illness recurred last night, and he was sent to Jiling Palace again to rest and recuperate.

On the other side of the platform, Sun Liangcheng reluctantly took An Yi's cigarette and took a few puffs, then shook his head and whispered: "Brother, why are you so troubled?" Isn't it just two trains of grain? People eat everywhere, it's good now, you not only offended Brother Xiang Fang (Han Fuqu) again, but also offended my Northwest Army up and down, so angry that Gong Huan didn't show up until last night, brother, I want to help you say something, but I don't know what to say when I see so many brothers being scolded so red-faced. It's not going to be easy! ”

"Thank you, Brother Sun! I'm really sorry, my little brother has caused you trouble. An Yi smiled apologetically.

"Trouble with the! What are you...... Hi! Originally, brother, you have a very good relationship with our army, except for the Second Northern Expedition and Han Xiangfang, who had a little misunderstanding about Zhang Chengzhu's cavalry, the generals of the other armies have a good relationship with you, and you will be welcomed and treated preferentially wherever you go, but this time you are too inconsiderate, for hundreds of tons of food, is it worth it? Sun Liangcheng complained in a low voice.

An Yi said: "Brother Sun, I really can't agree with this, if it is put in normal times, let alone more than 900 tons of grain, it is two or three thousand tons of grain sent to the brothers of the Northwest Army, the younger brother's brows will not wrinkle, but now it can't!" The central government has managed to raise some life-saving food, but it is not easy, and the next batch does not know when it will be ready, as long as the disaster situation in the northwest region spreads to the south, those mercenary businessmen will hoard food on a large scale, and even if they want to raise it, it will be too late.

Putting aside the political impact, let's just say that a large number of the 9 million victims in more than a dozen counties in northern Shaanxi are dying every day. We won't starve to death if we are soldiers, but our fathers and fellow villagers can't! Maybe this meal can support them to walk dozens of miles more, and if they can live one more day, they will have a little more hope of survival, or maybe because they can scrape off the bark and dig out the roots of the tree to survive if they walk dozens of miles more, and if they don't have this meal, they will die! In such a situation, every bite of food cannot be counted in terms of money, but in terms of human life! Why can't the soldiers of the Northwest Army think about their fellow villagers? The vast majority of officers and soldiers are from poor backgrounds!

If the brothers of the Northwest Army don't even have this minimum conscience, and they don't care if they have a grudge against the younger brother, then they don't have such a brother! ”

"You're a ...... Alas, I don't even know how to help you, you kid really has the same bad temper as the legend...... Forget it, forget it, big brother, I won't talk about it, you can do it yourself. ”

Sun Liangcheng turned around and took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around again, glanced left and right, and lowered his voice to warn An Yi: "This way to the east, out of Baoling, it is not my defense area for big brother, you have to be careful, Han Xiangfang is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”

An Yi knew what Sun Liangcheng was worried about, looked at him walking towards He Yaozu's back, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and took Shen Fengdao and the guards to board the train without saying hello to anyone.

The train sounded the whistle and started slowly, driving for two or three miles, He Yaozu and Commissioner Zhao came to sit opposite An Yi together, He Yaozu smiled and didn't say anything, Commissioner Zhao helped the black-framed glasses and gave An Yi a thumbs up:

"General An's clever plan, the problem has been solved in a few easy words, the food of the two trains of our central government's emergency aid to the northwest has arrived safely at Tongguan Station in front, and we will be able to see the head-on in a while, and my hanging heart can finally be put down."

An Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Director Zhao, these two trains of grain are a drop in the bucket, only the victims of Shaanxi Province can't get two taels per person, with the intensification of the drought and the spread of the epidemic, I don't know how many people will die is the end, let's still think about how to report to the central government after we go back." ”

Commissioner Zhao's eyes darkened, he sighed for a long time, and he couldn't say anything famous for a while, He Yaozu whispered two words, took Commissioner Zhao away, and whispered to An Yi:

"General Huanzhang didn't come to the station to see him off today, obviously not to give face to the Central Committee, you and I will go back with a joint statement that will become a piece of waste paper in the blink of an eye, and we can more or less give an explanation to the Central Committee and the Commander-in-Chief, but it is estimated that your kid has offended the upper echelons of the Northwest Army, you have to be careful in the future, if you really fight, I'm afraid you will have to go out to lead the troops, and it will be lively when the time comes."

"Uncle He, as long as there is a fight, who will give face to whom? Who in the whole country doesn't know the stinky temper and the brutal fighting style of the generals of the Northwest Army? For example, General Feng Huanzhang's pistol brigade is unique in the country, each of the 5,000 men is equipped with at least one shell gun, and those who have been officials since last year are also equipped with flower machine guns, each person has four grenades hanging behind his waist, and a machete is inserted in his back. An Yi smiled indifferently.

He Yaozu listened interestingly, and smiled: "It seems that you already have a way to deal with it, hehe!" However, your kid made enough moves at yesterday's press conference, and in a few words, General Huanzhang and General Zhang Zhijiang were forced into a dead end, and all the contradictions were turned upside down at once, and they couldn't cover up, and at the same time they quietly achieved the purpose of using Jingxiang's front-line disaster relief, skillfully inducing the victims to go south from the northwest of Hubei and Henan-Shaanxi, and at the same time establishing their reputation, they not only avoided the danger of transporting disaster relief materials by rail, but also slowly controlled the northwest of Hubei. It can be described as well-intentioned, and it kills multiple birds with one stone. If you hadn't consulted me beforehand, I really didn't know you had so many far-reaching schemes. ”

"Uncle He, my main purpose is to facilitate disaster relief, otherwise if there is a war, how can the central government enter the western Henan and northwest fronts firmly controlled by the Northwest Army? Without a proper arrangement, you can only watch the starving corpses everywhere! An Yi explained honestly.

He Yaozu nodded: "Yes, but no matter what, you are very far-sighted in choosing the Jingxiang frontline, thinking of the noise and consternation of Chinese and foreign reporters, I sigh, this Northwest Army is indeed good and bad, it is estimated that General Huanzhang has lost his original prestige, and there are not a few people under his command who look good and are detached from the yang and the yin!"

On the whole, General Huanzhang's strategy for governing the military has been outdated, he originally believed in Soviet Russia, but when he came back from an inspection of Soviet Russia, he began to oppose Soviet Russia, saying that he believed in the Three People's Principles, but the army implemented the old system of the old school of Beiyang, just like the old man of a big family, this set worked a few years ago, but now the children under his command have grown up and broadened their horizons, how can they do without a meal? If you have milk, you are a mother, and some things will be unlucky once they fall behind!

I quite admire the way you implemented it in the independent division, always upholding the patriotic spirit and the belief in the Three People's Principles, and always filling the minds of officers and soldiers with a sense of crisis and shame, such an army can be united and have a clear goal, and it can be maintained for a long time. ”

An Yi laughed: "Uncle He, don't praise me, the little nephew admires your open-mindedness very much, now Brother Mao Bingwen has become the main division commander, and Brother Gu Zhenglun has become the commander of the military police, it turns out that the division commanders under Uncle He have a good future, and they are all grateful to you for being broad-minded and promoting the future. ”

"Why did you pick me up instead? You kid is slippery, haha! He Yaozu laughed for a while, thought for a while and asked, "Well, how about you come to my training director department to be a deputy minister?" In charge of the training and assessment of the whole army, there is also the training supervision of several military schools, so as not to delay you to teach at the military academy, if you can go out to lead the troops at any time if you fight, it is estimated that you are more comfortable than you in the staff headquarters, and our uncle and nephew can also talk together, and I will be much easier to have you by my side. ”

An Yi was very happy: "The little nephew really wants to go, but the age and qualifications required by the deputy minister are not available, and the little nephew in the staff headquarters is also a mess, and if he really wants to go to the training director department, he will have the opportunity to conduct statistical research on training improvement." So, after I go back, I will make a request to the principal, Uncle He, you can also help blow the wind. ”

The old and the young talked in such a low voice, each other knew that the war between the Central Army and the Northwest Army was imminent, but no one wanted to talk about it again, An Yi asked the most about the formation of the factions of the Hunan Army and the current mutual relationship, the open-minded He Yaozu knew everything, so that An Yi learned a lot of things and gained a lot of benefits.

In the evening, when the train was about to pass through Luoyang, An Yi asked He Yaozu in a low voice, if about 50,000 victims were placed on the ground in Xiangxi, would it be okay? He Yaozu was slightly surprised, pondered for a moment and nodded reluctantly, saying that although there are many mountains and hills in Xiangxi, there are few fertile fields in the plains, but there are not a few wild fruits in the mountains, forests, and wild fruits.

The train slowly entered Luoyang, and the adjutant Shen Fengdao had already finished arranging the security task of the carriage with the guards, and kept his eyes open and closely observed the situation along the railway line and ahead before nightfall.

At this time, the platform of the Luoyang Railway Station was heavily armed, and the heavily armed officers of the Sixth Army of the Northwest Army were armed with live ammunition and were ready to obey the commander's orders at any time to forcibly occupy the train that had stopped to add water and coal.

In the army office, the commander and deputy division commander of the Third Division of the Sixth Army were standing in front of the telephone, waiting for the order of the army commander Han Fuqu.

"Jingle Bell ......"

As the phone rang, the commander of the third division quickly picked up the phone, and the anxious voice of Sun Tongxuan, chief of staff and commander of the first division, came from the microphone:

"Fourth, quickly evacuate your brother from the station, you must not touch An Yi and those people in the center at this time!"

"Second brother, but ......"

"But it's a ball! The military seat is confused, and you are also confused? The commander has issued an order to make all preparations for the opening of the army within five days, and withdraw to Shaanxi at any time, do you understand?

At this time, when we go to Shaanxi, we don't have our share of eating, it is obvious that someone has complained to the marshal, if we really go back to Shaanxi, including the military seat, you and I and the brothers can still save their lives? You guys...... You guys are so confused! If you dare to touch An Yi, don't say that Commander-in-Chief Jiang can't spare us, and the Huangpu family can't spare us, and there will be nowhere to hide when the time comes, understand? Sun Tongxuan almost roared.

"Understood! The younger brother understands, but there is ...... military seat."

"You don't care about this, just carry out the order! Now that the military seat is by my side, it's okay if the anger is gone, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! At this time, we must not grudge with An Yi and the central government, not only do you have to withdraw the army immediately, but also send some good things to others when the train enters the station, and say more good things, maybe in a few days each other will be your own people, understand? ”

"Yes, the little brother will do it immediately!"
