What is Chapter 1160?

The demonstration of the chariot in Fangshan in Nanjing was not vigorously publicized, and the party newspaper only published a very short news item in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper, and the most reported was the issue of Sino-Japanese relations and the discussion and controversy of "Sino-Japanese common beliefs and opinions." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The attitude of the unofficial newspapers was diametrically opposite, and the "Declaration" and "Oriental News" reported extensively on the large-scale military confrontation exercises brazenly conducted in the north of Tianjin on 30 September after the garrison had been silent for a period of time and avoided the influence of the Chinese military exercises in North China, as well as the fact that the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai secretly increased their troops twice and posed a military threat to China's eastern region.

The opinions of the columnists are very unanimous: the Japanese hawks, who came to power through a bloody coup d'état and have now successfully controlled the political and military circles, are rapidly strengthening their control over North China and "containing" Sui, Chacha and other regions. On the one hand, they have been soft-tempered by the Chinese Government's-for-tat diplomatic tactics and have pushed the Chinese Government into the channels and directions of attention deliberately guided by the Japanese side, but on the other hand, they have become more and more vocal about the armed forces in various parts of North China, holding high the big stick of intimidation, so that their actual rights and interests in the Pingjin, Sui, and Chacha regions have become greater.

Almost every person of insight has realized that the gradual adjustment of the government's policy toward China indicates that it is not far off for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale war of aggression.

An Yi did not comment on the exercise held by the Japanese army in Tianjin, which had 5,000 officers and soldiers participating, and the government and the Japanese army also knew that the Japanese army's move was mostly a retaliatory element, after all, the Japanese army that had been stranded in other countries for a long time and was homesick also needed to boost the morale of the army, and it was even more necessary to launch psychological warfare against the military and civilians in North China, and exert more powerful pressure on the military and political authorities in North China, in an attempt to break the current stalemate through military threats and intimidation.

However, An Yi firmly believes that as long as the 17th Army is nailed to the death in the central and southern Hebei regions, the Japanese army has no other way but to take the initiative to provoke a war, but to fight a special battle, it seems that no one is fully prepared at present.

The Nanjing Central Government's mechanized army equipment procurement case has come to an end, and the wheeled armored vehicles have circled the three display equipment of Germany and the United States, and the final winners of the tracked tanks are Britain and Germany.

Extremely disappointed, the French fire merchant Abel received An Yi's letter, swept away his frustration, generously donated two display tanks to Xu Tingyao's Jiaojiao School, left Nanjing the next day and returned to the Shanghai Far East Headquarters, and a few days later took a boat south to Hanoi to have secret talks with An Jiajun and Zhu Peide's representatives of the Dian Army.

Xu Tingyao, who gained the most, was full of surprises in just two days, and because of An Yi's generous loan, Xu Tingyao saved the trouble of running up and down to beg for help. At the thank-you banquet held by the Military Commission that night, Abel the arms dealer of the French Renault company and Hamann, the representative of the German Krupp company, toasted Xu Tingyao accompanied by An Yi, and then said the generous decision to present the demonstration car to Xu Tingyao's Jiaojiao School, which made Xu Tingyao very surprised and couldn't help but thank him.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Tingyao had four more advanced German wheeled reconnaissance assault vehicles and two French tanks on hand, plus An Yi's promise to send 26 wheeled armored assault vehicles and four auxiliary vehicles to the Jiao Yi School within a month, Xu Tingyao did not spend a penny, and easily obtained the equipment of an armored battalion, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth all night.

Halfway through the dinner, Song Ziwen took the opportunity of toasting to pull An Yi aside and whispered in his ear:

"Han Qing has just returned from a physical examination in Shanghai, and he will fly back to Xi'an tomorrow, can you take the time to meet with him? And the two generals of my tax police regiment, Huang Jie and Wang Gongliang, also want to get together with you, can they go out together? ”

An Yi was quite surprised: "The young marshal has come to Nanjing?" In that case, it's so lively, why don't you ask them to come here for a drink or two? ”

"Are you really confused or are you deliberately playing dumb? The chairman of the committee and most of the members of the Central Military Commission are here, and there are so many envoys and military attaches from various countries, wouldn't Han Qing rush over to cause a huge sensation? If reporters take the opportunity to ask about the suppression of the Communist Party in the northwest, will he still have time to talk to you and me? Song Ziwen replied in a low voice.

An Yi thought about it carefully, it was really like that, and immediately nodded: "Okay, let's say hello to the principal and leave, where does the young marshal live?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't take you out to toss around, it's at my house, your wife is also there now, it is expected that she has almost eaten the game now, let's rush over just right." Song Ziwen took the lead in leaving.

……

An hour later, the Song Mansion on the top of the North Pole Pavilion was full of friends and lively.

Ou Chuer, who came to the capital on a business trip to meet her husband, Zhou Chong'an, who seized the opportunity to come to Nanjing to discuss the important affairs of Jiangnan Group with An Yi, He Jing and Song Ziwen's beloved wife Zhang Leyi, Chen Cheng's wife Tan Xiang, etc., gathered in the side hall and talked happily, while An Yi and Song Ziwen, Shao Shuai and others sat around the sofa in the living room, talking and laughing.

After listening to Song Ziwen's introduction of some information about the equipment procurement, Huang Jie and Wang Gongliang immediately asked An Yi if they were willing to let Li Yuewu and the four of them teach at Jiaojiao School and serve as the captain?

An Yi shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said with a smile, how is it possible? Even if I exchanged a mechanizer for my four brothers, I would not agree, and a half-joking and half-serious remark caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

The young marshal praised An Yi for attaching importance to talents, but Song Ziwen knew what An Yi was thinking in his heart, I am afraid that Xu Tingyao's mechanized division has not yet taken shape, and the 103rd Division secretly formed by An Jiajun has already formed combat effectiveness, and An Yi, who is eager to seek talents, will naturally not let his subordinate generals leave.

At Song Ziwen's suggestion, Huang Jie took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to An Yi: "Senior brother, our tax police team has something to ask you, you can take a look first." ”

For Huang Jie, the senior brother who introduced himself into Huangpu, An Yi still respects it very much, he stood up politely, took the document with both hands, sat down and read it carefully, after reading the procurement list of an assault regiment, slowly closed the report, and asked suspiciously: "Senior brother, hasn't the equipment procurement plan of your tax police regiment already signed an agreement with the German side?" Will a sudden change of fortune cause diplomatic trouble? ”

Huang Jie replied with a smile: "Now Germany is also frantically expanding its army, the Germans say that they will not be able to deliver goods within half a year, and the seven-member German advisory group of our tax police regiment strongly advocates that we purchase weapons and equipment from the Syrian Arsenal. At first, we were very surprised, but later we realized that the advanced weapons we purchased were not actually produced in Germany, but were products of Czech and Belgian military factories authorized by Germany.

"The German advisers, who are strict and pragmatic by nature, have always insisted that the two batches of weapons and equipment purchased by the tax police regiment in the past year have not met the quality requirements they should have, but on the contrary, the weapons and equipment produced by the Syrian factory itself are much better, and the price is a quarter cheaper. In addition, the Anjia Army has just been equipped with the battlefield command vehicle and vehicle communication system of the 44th Division of the 24th Army, and the advisory group believes that it is already ahead of the best teams in Europe and the United States, so we unanimously decided to purchase from the Xufu Factory, please worry more about it. ”

An Yi smiled with relief and sighed faintly: "This is where the younger brother and the brothers in the southern Sichuan army respect the German advisory group and military instructors, they are real professional soldiers, with excellent morality in Aryan tradition, and they will not belittle others and elevate themselves because of their interests, and they can't admire them if they don't want to!" Okay, I agreed, however, please discuss with Director Song, it is best to choose a time to go to the 44th Division of the 24th Army in Yichang to see in person, listen carefully to Gu Changfeng and Wang Xulun's opinions, and then decide what to purchase, it is more secure, the key is to be suitable for your own troops, otherwise it will be a great waste to buy it back.

"In addition, the communication system, 60 mortars and general-purpose machine guns in this equipment list are estimated to be in stock in the material warehouse, but the vehicle-mounted Gaoping machine gun may have to wait for a while, Qu Muchen and Tu Zhirong's capital air defense forces are in great demand, the Syrian Arsenal and the Xiangxi Factory anti-aircraft artillery workshop are too busy to work together, the 20 anti-tank gun is still in the finalization stage, and it will not be mass-produced until early next year at the earliest, as for the sniper rifle...... The 12.7 caliber sniper rifle is still in the development stage, and the eight characters have not been skimmed yet, and the little brother doesn't know who revealed the news to you, so it can't be supplied. The semi-automatic sniper rifle of 7.92 caliber can still be discussed, but I can only give you fifty at most, the production technology of this gun is very cumbersome, the production process and material requirements are very high, and the price is quite expensive, almost equal to the price of two general-purpose machine guns, and the divisions of our Second Route Army are currently only a small amount of equipment, and it is very difficult to meet this requirement, please bear with me. ”

Huang Jie and Wang Gongliang were not surprised at all, only the reason why the legendary large-caliber long-range sniper rifle was included in the procurement list was completely a temptation for An Yi, since the assassination of Tang Youren, the first people and the military intelligence agencies gradually turned their suspicious eyes to the southwest, and turned to the An Jiajun, thinking that only the arsenal of An Jiajun can produce or imitate the latest products of Germany and the United States, but this inference has not been confirmed, and the Central Party Office stationed in southern Sichuan has been secretly verified for several months, I have never seen any units of the An Jiajun or Ding Zhicheng's SWAT detachment possess such advanced long-range sniper weapons.

Song Ziwen smiled, stood up and waved his hand, instructed everyone to chat slowly, called An Yi and Zhang Xueliang, and came to the second floor to talk secretly.

Shen Fengdao glanced at An Yi and the three of them who went upstairs, turned to Zhang Xueliang's adjutant Miao Jianqiu and Li Hansong who were sitting on the sofa on the side, weighed it slightly, stood up slowly, and saw Wang Gongliang graciously pull Miao Jianqiu before he moved, walked to the side under the wine cabinet, talked cordially, no longer hesitated at the moment, came to Li Hansong, who was looking at him with a smile, greeted politely, and the two quickly took their wine glasses, walked to the silent balcony, and talked happily.

In the small living room on the second floor, Song Ziwen waved his hand lightly, asked the maid who sent the wine to step down, picked up the wine glass, and touched Zhang Xueliang and An Yi lightly:

"It's rare to get together, tomorrow the two virtuous brothers will go their separate ways again, the next time they meet, I don't know when it will be, let's have a drink first, shall we?"

The three of them raised their heads and drank, then placed their glasses on the coffee table between the two sets of sofas.

The young marshal was in good spirits, his face was ruddy, his lips showed a healthy luster, and he saw An Yi, who was sitting opposite, grabbing the wine bottle, happily pouring wine for himself and Song Ziwen, leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa, and looking at An Yi cordially:

"Let Brother Ziwen invite Brother Xian over today, not only to meet you, but also to ask for something! Haha......"

An Yi's hand in pouring wine trembled slightly, and he felt a little strange in his heart - Zhang Xueliang, as the director of the Wuchang camp, and also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, although he was eye-to-eye with the Red Army, he was still deeply respected by Chiang Kai-shek.
