Chapter 1687 The opportunity to intervene in West Asia

After a hearty lingering moment, the room slowly fell silent, and there was no sound except for the sound of violent gasps. The bright and silky sheets of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info have become wrinkled, and there are wet stains everywhere, and the neck that was originally raised high around it, after singing loudly, finally fell lightly, and the beads of sweat slowly slipped down from the white jade cheeks, and snaked down the white and delicate chest.

A few minutes later, An Yi sat up panting, suddenly felt some pain in his chest, looked down, there were a few shocking scratches on his chest, and couldn't help but laugh and look at Zhou Xuan's charming and moving face.

At this time, Zhou Xuan's hair was messy, his beautiful eyes were slightly closed, his chest was undulating, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his scarlet thin lips were like two delicate rose petals, soothingly together, revealing a trace of confusion on his expression, and he seemed to still be intoxicated with the afterglow of Wushan**.

After staring at it for a long time, An Yi held her orchid-like slender palm, looked at the slender jade fingers, round fingers, and long nails, and quipped in a low voice: "Xuan'er, look at it, there are bloodshots here, I don't know, I thought you were practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claws!" ”

"I'm not Mei Chaofeng, and you're not Guo Jing......" Zhou Xuan still closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he replied lazily.

There is an allusion here, after Feng Jieyun helped Ye Qing prepare for the "Nanhua Daily" in April, he found that Nanhua, whether it was a newspaper published by the central or local government, was too serious, so he proposed to An Yi to establish a national newspaper integrating current affairs, finance, sports and entertainment. An Yi agreed without much thought, and as a result, the newspaper was seriously unsalable.

Seeing Feng Jieyun's sad face, An Yi was worried about affecting the fetus in her womb, so she took this newspaper called "Oriental Morning News" and took a look, and found that it was purely different - the current affairs section is not as professional as "South China Daily" and "Liberation Daily", and the financial content is too shallow.

As for sports and entertainment, there are no competitions to write about at all, and the main entertainment is watching movies, listening to records, and tape recorders. After the Sino-Japanese war, film actors and singers who moved west to Syria, as well as actors from local film companies in Syria, basically joined the Anjiajun Art Troupe and Propaganda Troupe. The army advocated a united, serious, intense, and lively work style, and the government did not allow the exposure of lace news at all, so the content of the entire newspaper seemed to be good.

In this case, An Yi suggested compressing the section and serializing the novel in the newspaper. Feng Jieyun's eyes lit up, but she soon struggled with what novels to publish. Under the current overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the main theme of anti-Japanese resistance is advocated in a healthy, progressive and unanimous manner, and any article that dispels fighting spirit and affects people's hearts cannot pass the examination and approval of the political department.

An Yi thought about it carefully, so he told Feng Jieyun the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the political pattern of the Southern Song Dynasty is very similar to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War now, and it must be able to resonate with readers.

Feng Jieyun first heard that it was a martial arts story, very disappointed, in the twenties, Pingjiang Buxiao's "The Legend of Jianghu" and "The Legend of Chivalrous Heroes" were all the rage in society, but Feng Jieyun was not interested in it, although he did not write an article to criticize, but he has always stayed away.

However, as An Yi explained the story in general, the tragic historical background, complicated scenes, magnificent momentum and distinctive heroic epic style immediately aroused Feng Jieyun's interest. An Yi also went through the whole story according to the development context, Feng Jieyun already had a general overview in his mind after listening to it, Guo Jing's sincerity and simplicity, Huang Rong's wit and cunning, and Yang Kang's forgetfulness of profit and righteousness all left a deep impression.

Subsequently, Feng Jieyun tried to write this story by herself, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't write the taste of martial arts, and finally got in a hurry, so she simply invited the five authors who had written martial arts novels in the newspaper, Bai Yu, Zheng Zhengyin, Zhu Zhenmu, and Wang Dulu, who had written martial arts novels in the newspaper, and asked An Yi to dictate the story to them, and synthesized the strength of the five to write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

An Yi only knows the names of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng in later generations, how can he know where these five are sacred? One day in late May, An Yi spent an afternoon in the West Garden, explaining the background, characters, story development and clues of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" that he knew, and at the beginning of June, the five people handed over the complete story outline, character introduction, martial arts names and other settings to An Yi for review, and An Yi felt that there was little difference from his memory, so he asked the five young people to start writing novels.

I don't know how the five of them divided their labor, but the novel was written successfully, and when it was published in the newspaper in the form of a chapter in mid-June, it caused a huge sensation and soon led to the sales of the Oriental Morning Post. In August, Syria Radio Station bought the copyright of the novel from the "Oriental Morning News" and began to use the form of radio drama to interpret "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the following month Nanhua Radio began to broadcast the radio drama, and in October, the martial arts in the novel have become a household name among the Chinese people, so at this moment An Yi and Zhou Xuan said it without being abrupt at all.

An Yi didn't take the words of Zhou Xuan, but just looked straight at the ten fingers of the beautiful spring onion.

Zhou Xuan "giggled" and laughed a few times, and his pretty face was crimson, like a ripe red apple. As if feeling An Yi's blazing gaze, Zhou Xuan opened his charming eyes, glanced at him quickly, withdrew his palm, covered his face with some embarrassment, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiao Yi, it's not your fault, just ...... Why are you trying so hard......"

An Yi bowed, gently pulled her hands away, tilted her head, and stared at her delicate face without saying a word, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhou Xuan was a little flustered when he saw it, and hurriedly and shyly turned his pretty face like a flower, pursed his lips and smiled: "What's so beautiful, haven't you seen enough for so long?" ”

"Never get enough of it!"

An Yi smiled, leaned his head over, and whispered softly in Zhou Xuan's ear: "Xuan'er, you screamed so hard just now, can I not use force...... This is the time for a man to prove his ability, do you think I can disobey orders? ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhou Xuanjiao snorted, the roots of his ears were already red, he took the soft pillow sideways, turned over, and rode on An Yi at once, and then gently smashed his head a few times with the pillow, pouting and saying: "Brother Xiao Yi, you are so bad, obviously you teased other people's ...... first"

An Yi smiled and received a few gentle beats, waited for Zhou Xuan to put down the pillow, his right hand touched the hot and soft body again, the palm was soft and smooth, and his heart was full of joy for a while, and he couldn't help but lean his mouth over, kissed Zhou Xuan's lips, and boasted in a low voice: "Xuan'er, your voice is so beautiful, it's like a natural sound, no wonder you can sing such a beautiful song." ”

Zhou Xuan stretched out his white and tender index finger, pressed it against An Yi's lips, looked at him as gently as water, and after a while, lowered his head and kissed An Yi's face, and when he raised his head, there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to the side.

An Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, stroked her waterfall-like hair, and then took her whole person into his arms, quietly listening to her still somewhat fierce heartbeat, only to feel that his mind was peaceful.

"Tuk Tuk—"

The sound of the door rang at an inopportune time, An Yi was a little surprised, it was already early in the morning, what did Lao Shen have to find himself?

raised his head, kissed Zhou Xuanfang like a dragonfly on his lips, turned around again, pressed Linglong's delicate body under him, and then lifted the quilt, put on a pajama and stood up, gently covered the quilt for Zhou Xuan, and then opened the door.

Shen Fengdao said softly: "Zhao Rui called from Nanjing, and Xilu officially informed that Chairman Jiang will fly directly from Nanjing to Kulun early tomorrow morning, and is expected to arrive at Kulun Airport at about ten o'clock in the morning, so let's get ready to meet ......"

"The headmaster is coming to Fuyuko's wedding?"

An Yi was a little surprised, and then suddenly guessed that this might be Chiang Kai-shek's gentle plan.

At present, the development of the group is inseparable from domestic support, since Chiang Kai-shek is willing to take the initiative to show goodwill, An Yi is not willing to go too far, after a little thought, he immediately said:

"Tomorrow I will personally go to the airport to greet us, let's do our best, but the interests that should be fought for must be fought for, and we must not trade principles."

Shen Fengdao continued: "The negotiation team called, Chong'an originally decided to formally propose to the national government to end the negotiations early tomorrow morning, and then arrived in Mongolia by special plane to attend Dongzi's wedding. I don't want to visit the Jiangnan Hotel at nine o'clock in the evening, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi jointly visit the Jiangnan Hotel, the central government is willing to make concessions in all aspects, and tomorrow will start consultations on specific issues, so he can't come to congratulate him in person, please apologize to Dongzi on his behalf. ”

"It's important to get down to business!"

The temperature in the corridor was very low, and An Yi tightened his pajamas: "The wedding is just a formality, and there will be more time in the future, so you can sit together and drink whenever you want." During the day, I have already arranged for Ou's Group and Huaqing to register a shipping company in the Netherlands, Hung Hing and South China Group in Portugal in a week, just in case of emergency. Since the start of the war last year, Hong Xingshe and the South China Group have maintained trade channels with Japan, selling drugs such as sulfonamides, penicillin, and special cold medicines at high prices, and arbitraging huge amounts of gold, silver, and foreign exchange reserves such as US dollars and pounds.

"As far as reality is concerned, the domestic industry is still very backward, and the sooner those factories are put into operation, the better it will be for the overall situation of the war. I wondered if Japan really launched an offensive in Southeast Asia ahead of schedule, and the United States would be drawn into the war in a short time, and it was estimated that someone would pay for what these factories and enterprises produced...... Anything else? ”

Originally, An Yi just asked casually, but he didn't want to really have it, Shen Fengdao said in a low voice:

In the early hours of the morning, there was an urgent report from the Afghan side that the Soviet army under the command of Sheng Shicai, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, broke through the important town of Panjo, an important town in the west of Kabul, and annihilated 12,000 defenders, and approached the city of Maidan in the southwest of Kabul. At the same time, another Soviet army crossed the vast Hindu Kush Mountains and was advancing towards the northern city of Kabul, Charikaar, and the situation in Afghanistan deteriorated sharply. ”

An Yi's face changed, pacing back and forth, thinking carefully.

In the past two months, Sheng Shicai has been in Afghanistan all the way, along the northern highway of Afghanistan, successively won Huram, Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh, Shibirgan, Andhouy, Maimana, Bara Murgab, Naubao, Herat and other cities, An Yi is very clear, but he only thinks that this is Sheng Shicai's military deployment for the Soviet army to open the channel back to the Soviet Union. For this reason, the General Staff also specially gave Ye Cheng a letter, telling him to be fully vigilant, deploy heavy troops on the border line, and be ready to expel the invading Soviet army at any time.

But who would have thought that now Sheng Shicai would go all out to the east, along the Hari River valley to Kabul, trying to capture the capital city in the eastern region of Afghanistan. Could it be that Sheng Shicai lost *** and wanted to replace the "Mushahiban" family as the new ruler of Afghanistan?

An Yi was keenly aware that the Afghan issue might be closely related to An Jiajun's future Central Asian strategy, and after thinking about it, he decided to hold a special meeting early the next morning to discuss this matter, and immediately said: "It's the dead of night at this time, so I won't disturb the brothers, Lao Shen, you ask the staff officers to prepare, and early tomorrow morning, inform the generals and colonels of the three headquarters in Kulun to hold a meeting in the war room of the military region, and I will go to the airport after the meeting." ”

Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you can't make a mistake, you go back to the room to rest first, the weather is too cold!" ”

An Yi nodded, and turned around and went back to the house without hesitation, he knew that as long as he explained the matter, Shen Fengdao would handle the matter well.

Sure enough, the moment the door was closed, Shen Fengdao immediately summoned the staff officers and began to arrange the task.

......

At eight o'clock the next morning, in the war room of the Northern Military District, there will be a starry gathering.

Liu Qing, the minister of intelligence, who received the notice after the wake-up horn sounded at six o'clock in the morning, had already prepared his homework, and under An Yi's instructions, he walked to the map of Afghanistan with a baton, and talked eloquently in front of the twenty-one generals and colonels at the conference table:

"In the past two months, Sheng Shicai has been majestic in Afghanistan, and the first army and the Soviet army under his command suddenly burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, sweeping through northern Afghanistan, and the Afghan government army and tribal army have been defeated.

According to the intelligence, Sheng Shicai followed the example of the early thirties in the occupied areas, and all the local tyrants divided the land, distributed the property and livestock of the tribal leaders to the poor farmers and herdsmen, and established the workers' and peasants' Soviets, and a large number of liberated poor farmers and herdsmen joined the army, and the army controlled by Sheng Shicai quickly swelled to 200,000.

The main Soviet forces led by Mehlis and Chuikov entered Afghanistan in late September and then headed westward, where they are now confronting the Persian forces on the other side of the border, in the Herat region. Sheng Shicai did not know how to persuade Mehris and Chuikov, and in late September, he suddenly mobilized his troops to march to Kabul, and after the four major battles of Shahrak, Chakhcharan, Daurayar, and Laal, he successively annihilated more than 80,000 Afghan government troops and tribal coalition forces, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, and food baggage. At the same time as the offensive on the western front, the Soviet army on the northern front attacked the Salang Pass, completely annihilating one division of the defenders, and then advanced all the way south in the Hindu Kush area, advancing to the city of Charika.

"The most beautiful of these battles was the surprise attack on the military airfield in the northern suburbs of Kabul on the 29th of last month. The battle began at dawn, and in just half an hour, all 98 warplanes of the government air force parked in the airport were destroyed. Shah was so angry that he almost vomited blood. ”

An Yi did not ask how the Soviets did all this, but asked another question: "Did the British make any moves?" ”

When it comes to Afghanistan, it is inevitable to talk about Britain, and Liu Qing was prepared for this, and immediately replied: "After the war in Europe began, the British were eager to expand their troops, but they were not worried about the Indians, so they conscripted 250,000 Gurkha in Nepal and formed 15 infantry divisions together with more than 12,800 British. These 15 infantry divisions are currently being trained in a hurry, and it is expected that it will take at least three months to six months before they can be put into operation. Until then, Britain will not be able to give any help to the Afghan government in order to curb the actions of the Indian rebels. ”

"Haha!"

Yang Jie laughed heartily: "This time, the Japanese have made the British miserable!" From the end of last year to the present, the continuous development has seriously disrupted the normal economic order of the colony, and industrial and agricultural production has almost come to a standstill, destroying the mutual trust between the British and the natives, so that Britain cannot use the resources of the colony as soon as possible to serve the war!

"I'm even beginning to suspect now that even the unprecedented outbreak of infectious disease in Australia was a Japanese trick, otherwise where would there be such a coincidence...... Looking at the British colonies, except for the African and American colonies far away from Japan, the rest of the region is in chaos, and Sheng Shicai has found a good time this time! ”

Deng Bin asked with some incomprehension: "The Soviet Union also had a part in the partition of Poland, and now the Soviet army is making trouble in Afghanistan, why didn't Britain declare war on the Soviet Union, but only on Germany?" ”

Seeing that the generals looked thoughtful, An Yi took the initiative to explain: "According to the official British explanation, Germany occupied a dominant position in the military operation to destroy Poland, and the Soviet army only sent troops to 'enter' the defensive eastern part of Poland at the end of the war, so it could not reach the level of declaring war.

"In my opinion, the leaders of Britain and France are still very sober-minded, knowing that Nazism and ** cannot coexist at all, and that between Germany and the Soviet Union, even if the war is hot now, there will inevitably be problems in the future, which can be proved only by the ideas revealed in Hitler's "Mein Kampf".

"In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so even if the USSR itself was an aggressor, Britain and France would not declare war on the USSR. I am now wondering if the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in Afghanistan want to return to the Caucasus through British-controlled Persia, and by that time, will Britain and France declare war on the Soviet Union? ”

"As long as the Soviets do not attempt to capture the oil fields of western and southwestern Persia, the British will always hold back!" Yang Fei said thoughtfully:

"Now the Germans are sharpening their knives, the Japanese are unclear, the Italians are ambiguous, and Britain is absolutely unwilling to set up such a strong enemy as the Soviet Union, which is not only related to the whole of West Asia, but also related to the safety of the South Asian subcontinent, and the British cannot afford not to be cautious!"

An Yi nodded suddenly, then thought of something, turned his head to look at the hanging bell in the war room, stood up and said loudly: "It's not too early, I have to go to the airport to meet the principal and attend Dongzi's wedding with everyone." To make a long story short, does the Soviet army have any room and possibility to intervene in this attack on Afghanistan and Persia? If the Soviet army invades Persia, and we take the initiative to enter these two countries under the banner of expelling the Soviet army, will it trigger a strong backlash from Britain and France? ”

The generals were taken aback, but they didn't expect that An Yi would actually use his brains on Afghanistan and Persia, and a burst of discussion immediately sounded in the conference room.

Zhao Dongquan stood up and analyzed: "Even if you want to enter Afghanistan and fight with Persia, it will be next year!" It's already October, or it won't be long before it snows in Central Asia, although Afghanistan is located in the *** climate zone, but because it is far from the ocean, the altitude is high, it is a continental climate, dry and rainy, cold in winter, and very hot in summer. In winter, the lowest temperatures in the northern and northeastern regions of Afghanistan can reach more than minus 30 degrees, which is very unfavorable for marching and fighting. By next spring, the situation in Europe will be basically clear, and the Japanese army on the Asian side may also make a move, and we will have much more choice! ”

"Strike while it's hot!"

Yang Jie waved his hand, and when everyone's eyes fell on him, he said in a good time: "We are difficult, and the enemy is equally difficult. This is no longer the era of cold weapons, and many problems can be overcome by modern means. As early as the beginning of September, the General Logistics Department sent individual cold-proof equipment to the Central Asian troops, such as cold-proof boots, cold-proof gloves and insoles, cold-proof helmets and eye protection, cold-proof and shock-proof vests, cold-proof clothing, and cotton coats...... Am I right, Minister Chang? ”

Chang Baofang, director of the General Logistics Department, replied with a smile: "That's right, we have always paid attention to the cold protection of the troops, and the above belongs to the basic configuration, and by the beginning of October, all the cold protection materials needed by the troops in Central Asia and Mongolia have been in place. ”

Yang Jie nodded and continued: "No matter how cold Afghanistan is, there is no cold in Siberia and the Urals, but it is extremely cold at minus forty or fifty degrees, and the Soviet and Japanese troops are really unable to move. Under these circumstances, and with the large number of tanks, armoured vehicles, and transport vehicles, if we were to launch a wave of offensives against Afghanistan and Persia, I think we would be able to take both of them before spring. ”

Everyone was moved, but they didn't expect that Yang Jie, a new member of the An Family Army, was more familiar with this army than most generals. Zhao Dong's face flushed, and he stood up and took the initiative to admit his mistake:

"I'm sorry, I made the mistake of empiricism, I only thought about the difficulty of fighting in winter, but did not analyze the specific situation! In fact, to put it bluntly, Afghanistan is similar to the situation in the northeast of our country, especially Kabul in the southeast, where the climate is similar to that in North China. But I think we need to plan and act, and we can't drag ourselves into the chaos in West Asia for the time being! ”

Yang Jie smiled slightly: "As I said just now, the current international situation is chaotic, whether it is the Soviet army or our occupation of Afghanistan and central and eastern Persia, the British can only endure it first, wait for the German threat to be eliminated, and then settle accounts later." Of course, we can't send troops without a reasonable excuse, and that's right. ”

"Speaking of which, finding an entry point is key!"

An Yi stood up and said, "It's almost time, I have to rush to the airport now." If you continue to discuss, it would be better to come up with a feasible plan, such as the Afghan or Persian royal families offering us an invitation to send troops. If we can take Persia and Afghanistan, our game of chess in Central Asia will be completely alive! ”
