Chapter 752: Slap and pull again

The military confrontation exercise was a great success, and the two units participating in the exercise finally ended with the new 1st Brigade of the independent division defeating the 46 th Brigade of the attacking side; the rapid reaction capability and the dazzling tactical use of the squadron in the exercise made the generals and academies of various armies, envoys and military attaches of various countries stationed in China full of praise, and the debut of several new weapons aroused great attention from the observers.

An Yi's eyes were sharp, he had already found Lu Yixuan, the commander of the 17th Division, who had never dared to look at him, in the observation group, An Yi saw that this senior brother who had lost the battle looked gray, and several times seemed to have the courage to talk to him, and he created an opportunity for him, but he stopped and seemed very hesitant, so after a few times, he was in no mood to care about him.

After the banquet held by the Central Military Commission to celebrate the complete success of the exercise, a cadre commander who stayed at the Nanjing headquarters saw off more than 50 envoys and military attaches stationed in China, and An Yi took the opportunity to slip away under the pretext of seeing off his colleagues in the Central Military Commission, but the 24 th Army, the Independent Division, the General Staff Headquarters, and the generals and colonels of various armies and divisions were still unwilling to leave like this, and the sound of "cheers" and fist strokes sounded frequently, and they obviously wanted to seize this rare opportunity to get together and exchange as many emotions as possible, and the noise of the banquet did not disperse until midnight.

After dealing with the backlog of military affairs during the exercise, An Yi returned to his home in Houzai Lane, took a shower and changed into comfortable casual clothes, came to the small living room on the second floor to make himself a pot of Longjing tea, and just sat down on the sofa, before he raised his glass and took a sip, he heard Liu Qing come to report: Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Wu Liheng and Xie Chi accompanied the commander of the 17th Division, Lu Yixuan, to ask to see.

An Yi was amused when he heard it, but he didn't expect Lu Yixuan to finally come to the door, for this senior brother who is arrogant by nature and has never bowed his head easily, what this move means is self-evident, he immediately ordered Lin Yaodong to make another pot of tea, walked downstairs quickly, and welcomed the brothers who were waiting in the living room to the study on the second floor.

This meeting solved three problems: first, Lu Yixuan's admission of mistakes meant that the 17th Division, which was free from the collective, officially returned to the big family of An Jiajun, and An Yi could call on one more Division A with an official number; Second, An Yi will find a way to transfer Lu Yixuan's 17th Division, which is recuperating and replenishing troops, to Chuzhou to garrison, and officially break away from the bandit suppression war in Jiangnan and Jiangbei; Third, in the partial readjustment that Chairman Chiang and the Central Military Commission are contemplating, the Fifth Army, which was disbanded after the signing of the Songhu Armistice Agreement, will be reorganized by Xue Yue, and Hu Jialin, who has left the post of deputy commander of the Fifth Army, will once again be reused by Chairman Chiang -- In order to cope with the expansion of the Japanese invaders, and also to give a satisfactory answer to the whole people and avoid being branded as a passive anti-Japanese notor, Chairman Chiang and the Central Military Commission unanimously decided to rebuild the 17th Army to shoulder the heavy task of going north to resist Japan. Hu Jialin's independent division, which accounts for more than half of the officers and men from the north, will be transferred to the newly established 17 th Army, and it has been initially decided that Hu Jialin will serve as deputy commander and will still concurrently serve as commander of the independent division, and the choice of commander has not yet been finalized. At the strong request of Lu Yixuan and his brothers, An Yi promised to do his best to get the 17th Division into the establishment of the 17th Army.

All the brothers were overjoyed, and they all knew what it would mean to realize this intention, as long as the 17th Division entered the sequence of the 17th Army that was about to be formed, the 17th Army, which had two main divisions from the An Jia Army, could only be decided by An Yi, and no matter who was appointed as the commander of this army, in the end, the number of the 17th Army would still fall into the hands of his own group.

In the following week, An Yi was twice summoned by Chiang Kai-shek to Hankou to urgently engage in military affairs. The civil war in Sichuan has been intermittent, no, it has not been stable for long, and the warlords of all walks of life in central Sichuan have fought again, and this time they did not accept it as before, but the war has become more and more intense. Deng Xihou's 28th Army and Liu Wenhui's two divisions of the Sichuan-Kang Frontier Army fought in Wusheng, Liu Xiang, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, and others once again formed an alliance with Deng Xihou, and a large-scale melee was about to break out, and He Yingqin, who had friendship with both Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui, temporarily left the throne of commander-in-chief of the suppression under the repeated deliberations of Chiang Kai-shek and the Military Commission, and urgently rushed to Sichuan to mediate.

So far, the outside world still does not know that the relationship between the An Yi group and the Liu Wenhui group has greatly improved, and the trade exchanges between the two sides have increased exponentially; Liu Wenhui has exchanged gold, silver, minerals, medicinal materials, rare timber, tobacco, and other materials in the Xichuan region for a large number of guns, ammunition, and ammunition and materials produced in southern Sichuan and Xiangxi, as well as various luxury goods and daily necessities.

On October 10, the China Commodity Fair was grandly opened, bringing together diplomatic envoys, representatives of major consortia and multinational corporations from more than 30 countries and regions in the world.

Lin Sen, Chairman of the Nanjing National Government, Wang Jingwei, President of the Executive Yuan, and Song Ziwen, Vice President and Minister of Finance, all delivered speeches at the meeting, and Zhang Jingjiang, a veteran of the party and government, and Kong Xiangxi, Minister of the Ministry of Business, presided over the opening ceremony.

In the afternoon of the same day, the wedding of An Yi and Feng Jieyun was held in the Majestic Hotel, Song Meiling, Song Ailing, Kong Xiangxi, and Zhang Jingjiang served as the officiants, and the well-known Chinese Americans Ou Yaoting, Zhang Xi, Lin Xudong and others attended together, and the military attaches of European and American countries in China, and the chief representatives of major consortia were present to congratulate, celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai flocked to the third-rate Jiujiao heads, and major newspapers in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang all published red news on the front page to congratulate.

The wedding alone He Yi had as many as 12 trucks, equivalent to more than 8.5 million silver dollars, which caused a sensation in the whole city for a while, and soon became known throughout the country.

No matter what the outside world thinks of this wedding, at least An Yi and Feng Jieyun of the parties are very happy, the day after the wedding, An Yi took the bride to fly back to Nanchang to set up a banquet as an excuse, and quietly flew to the military airport under Lushan to accept the blessing of Chiang Kai-shek as Feng Jieyun's godfather, accompanied by Kong Xiangxi and his wife and Mrs. Jiang Song Meiling.

After the wedding banquet set up in the villa's official residence, An Yi flew back to Nanchang with his bride. Song Ailing was very worried and asked An Yi, who had converted to Christianity, if he had just been nominated to serve as the secretary of the National Young Men's Christian Association, would he be reprimanded by the church for violating the doctrine.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, but did not speak, Kong Xiangxi hurriedly said in his wife's ear: This secretary An Yi can't do it, but the church will definitely not expel An Yi because of this, otherwise how can the dozen or so churches on An Yi's territory survive? Can European and American consortia not be awkward in dealing with An Yi in the future?

An Yi and Feng Jieyun stayed in Lao Nanchang for three days and were drunk for three days, and on the fourth day they had to fly back to Nanjing quickly to live a normal and clean life.

To Feng Jieyun's great surprise and admiration, An Yi asked her to use the more than 6 million cash gifts obtained from the wedding to support the anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China and North China, and the huge amount of money obtained by An Yi Group was also greatly relaxed because of this accident, and the money was divided into several parts and transferred to the hands of the various responsible persons of the Northern Bureau, and the Jiangnan Group and the Xiangxi Arsenal also received orders.

An Yi also had a major gain, in the bidding for two railway construction projects and the Syrian tram project, on behalf of the American Rockefeller and DuPont consortium, Zhang Xi, who came across the ocean with confidence, lost in the fierce competition with the British consortium supported by the British government and the consortium controlled by the German Junkers aristocracy, the British won the railway construction project and locomotive sales project from Syria to Luzhou, and the Germans got the railway project from Syria to Yanjin and the railway construction project from Syria to Yanjin and the tram construction project in Syria. Junker Aircraft Company and Heinkel Aircraft Company, which have privately reached an intention to cooperate in the Far East, have successfully signed an agreement with An Yi to jointly build the second phase of the South Sichuan Aircraft Factory, and the two aircraft companies will accept students sent by An Yi to Germany in phases to study aircraft manufacturing and aviation theory from January 1 next year, with no less than 10 students in each batch, and at the same time, Junker and Heinkel will send two groups of about 80 engineers and technicians to provide technical assistance to the South Sichuan Aircraft Factory.

Although the management rights of An Yi Group's electronic instruments, complete sets of automobile equipment and mechanical equipment are still firmly controlled in his hands, and the hundreds of millions of dollars invested by An Yi that have increased in value more than ten times are still under his control, all signs after returning to China show that his rights have been unconsciously weakened and his status has been quietly reduced in the entire group.

Zhang Xi also held a meeting with Zhou Chong'an, Ou Yaoting, Lin Xudong and others the next morning, and generously transferred the shares of the West Coast Ocean Shipping Company and the California Real Estate Company to Lin Xudong's Huaqing Society, and suggested that the Huaqing Society get involved in tourism, commercial wholesale enterprises, and hotel industries as soon as possible on the basis of the existing real estate and construction industries, so as to make up for the loss of profits after the lifting of the alcohol ban.

As one of the core leaders of the group, Zhou Chong'an accompanied his old subordinate and old friend Zhang Xi and his wife to tour around for several days, attended social meetings held by various consortia in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and had in-depth conversations with the giants of the domestic business community. During this period, Wang Jingwei, President of the Executive Yuan of the Nanjing Central Government, and Song Ziwen, Minister of Finance, held a grand commendation ceremony to award the Medal of Honor and a certificate to Zhang Xi, a patriotic overseas Chinese, a world-famous financier and industrialist, in the name of the Central Government of the Republic of China.

However, the sourness of the aftertaste after the flowers and applause made Zhang Xi painful. Before leaving the United States, Zhang Xi confidently said in front of the presidents of the Rockefeller and DuPont consortiums that the South Sichuan Railway Project with the most funds and credibility guarantees was none other than himself, and let the two major consortiums wait for his good news, but now that many days later, the news that several major British and German consortiums won the bid for a project of more than $20 million in southern Sichuan, China, may have spread all over the world, and Zhang Xi is still empty-handed, not knowing how to explain to his American partners. An Yi flew back to Lao Nanchang the day after the wedding to thank the elders in the family and relatives and friends who came from southern Sichuan, Zhang Xi just wanted to ask An Yi clearly, but he didn't have a chance.

After pondering for a few days, Zhang Xi suddenly realized that he no longer waited passively, but took the initiative to find Liu Qing, invited Ou Yaoting and Lin Xudong to negotiate behind closed doors together, pondered painfully, and won the understanding of all the brothers with a sincere attitude and frank review.

When Zhang Xi said that he only left 25% of the existing assets, and all the remaining assets and liquidity would be returned to An Yi, Zhou Chong'an, Ou Yaoting, Lin Xudong and others were still shocked despite this mental preparation, thinking of the unforgettable days when they worked together and felt like brothers and sisters in the entrepreneurial stage, and their faces were full of grief and sighing.

Zhou Chongan took a long breath at Ou Yaoting's suggestion, and said very sincerely: "Brother, there is something that Brother Fool has always wanted to wait for Xiao Yi to tell you in person, but after listening to what you said just now, Brother Fool had to tell you in advance.

In fact, long before the bidding of railways and major projects, Xiao Yi bluntly said that among them, the railway project has the most investment, the greatest impact, and the most important to the consortiums and governments of various countries, these projects not only mark the future cooperation between the consortium and the major domestic consortiums, especially our group, but also mark the huge impact of the Chinese government and the business community to take such an important step, not only in terms of economy and trade, but also in politics and diplomacy. Therefore, Xiao Yi told Brother Yu at that time that the first construction of the South Sichuan Railway is still not the largest project, the largest project will be the 250-kilometer railway from Syria to Chongqing through the Neijiang River, and its influence will far exceed all the railway projects currently under construction or about to be built in China, this project will start within a year, Xiao Yi would like to hand over this project to you...... You don't have to be surprised, maybe you don't believe it, but after listening to the foolish brother's words, you can judge. ”

When Zhou Chongan said this, he made a gesture to stop, telling Zhang Xi, who was in a complicated mood, not to speak: "How far do you think a large-scale war between China and Japan is?" ”

Zhang Xi was stunned: "It shouldn't be too far, right...... What does it matter? ”

"It matters."

Zhou Chongan nodded: "The Songhu local war at the beginning of the year has caused the Nanjing central government to move the capital to Luoyang, as long as the large-scale war between China and Japan breaks out again, where do you say the Nanjing central government will move?" ”

Zhang Xi hugged his head tightly, buried his head in thought, and only raised his head after a while: "Little brother understands!" No wonder Xiao Yi has invested so much in southern Sichuan, and even the development plans of Xiangxi and Yunnan have also solicited the opinions of his younger brother one by one, it turns out that he has been secretly working hard for the future...... Shame on my little brother! I'm ashamed......"
