Chapter 1492 has become domineering

February 14, 1938, the Lantern Festival of the Lunar Calendar. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At nine o'clock in the morning, the breeze was blowing, and I was in the southern land, and I didn't see the cold of winter at all. Under the warm sun hanging in the eastern sky, a brand-new destroyer, equipped with main guns and anti-aircraft guns, departed from Haiphong Port, passed through the Banmun River, and circled the Quang An Port waterway in the northern part of the bay to enter Halong Bay.

Along the way, the waves beat the hull of the boat from time to time, stirring up turbulent waves and bringing a slight cool breeze, which makes people feel very comfortable. When the line of sight falls, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the calm water surface, which is exceptionally clean and transparent. Occasionally, under the white clouds, some unknown seabirds glided across the blue sky and flew into the distance of the sea and sky, suddenly feeling relaxed and happy, all the troubles seemed to disappear with the refreshing sea breeze, and a kind of selfless artistic conception was permeated in an instant.

An Yi and Lao Dao stood at the bow of the boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery while talking to each other.

Later, on the deck, tables and chairs were set up, and the table was a row of small antique sandalwood coffee tables, piled with melons and fruits. The chair is a leisurely chair that can soothe the body, but no one sat down at this time, Ou Chuer, Feng Jieyun, Ding Molan, and Zhang Ruyi, four women who are close to An Yi, surrounded Song Meiling, who came to Xinjing to visit relatives and had a bulging lower abdomen, pointing to the changing shapes of the surrounding islands, and smiling softly, looking extremely pleasant.

I have to say that the scenery of Ha Long Bay is indeed a beautiful creation: the sea water is as green as a pure emerald, and the small islands are majestic and precipitous, with a variety of strange states, including independent islands and connected islands, some like chopsticks stuck in the water, some like a big tripod floating on the water, some like a lying dog, and some like a galloping horse.

Song Meiling praised while looking at it, saying that there is a charm of Guilin's mountains and rivers here, but the mountains here are different from the mountains of Guilin, mountains are islands, islands are also mountains, countless islands of all sizes, thousands of postures, thousands of appearances, like stars dotting the sky scattered on the vast sea, everything is natural, pure and pure.

An Yi heard Song Meiling's admiration, and sighed in his heart.

If history had not changed, five years later, at the Cairo Conference where the heads of state of the United States, Britain, and China gathered, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed that Annam, Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands be included in China's territory after the war.

You must know that this conference had an extremely far-reaching impact on the post-war world, and even determined the fate and direction of many countries in later generations. But Chiang Kai-shek did not know why he actually rejected Roosevelt's kindness and said that he would not accept the return of these three places to China, which led to many problems later.

After getting along with Chiang Kai-shek for so long, An Yi couldn't figure out why he, the principal, usually looks quite shrewd, would make such an unreasonable decision in a daze at such a critical juncture? Did they shrink back just because they were afraid of angering France and Japan, and fearing that there would be large-scale retaliation after the war, and they ignored the temptation to expand their territory and spread their reputation through the ages?

Thinking of this, An Yi turned his head and looked at Song Meiling, just as Feng Jieyun was supporting Song Meiling with his left hand, pointing forward with his right hand, and exclaimed: "Godmother, look, it's so beautiful!" ”

An Yi looked at Feng Jieyun's hand, and saw that on the sea not far away, the two hills were like two chickens fighting with each other, one of them had fluffy feathers, and the other had a raised head and tail.

Song Meiling was amazed and said that the scenery of Nanhua is pleasant, and it is not lost to Jiangnan at all. And in the past two days in Xinjing and Haiphong, there is no discomfort of being in a foreign country at all, almost all of them are posted with Spring Festival couplets written in italics, pasted with Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong's large door gods, adding to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival The paintings on the lanterns are also pure Chinese paintings, the paintings are all beautiful legends of ancient Chinese talents and beauties, and the language spoken by the pedestrians encountered on the road is mostly the official dialect of the north, which makes people think that they are somewhere in the country at this time.

Song Meiling said this, and sighed again: Nanhua is indeed the Han family that is in the same vein as the motherland!

Ou Chuer's mind was not much on the scenery, she got together with Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi, whispering, and talking close to herself. As the helmsman of An Jiajun's economic system, Ou Chuer clearly knows the potential value of Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi, and understands how much the two have promoted An Yi's career, so he did not express any dissatisfaction with An Yi's acceptance of the two daughters to Nanhua for the Spring Festival, but asked when the second daughter and An Yi would register? The second daughter was shy, and her pretty face was covered with peach blossoms, which made An Yi, who occasionally looked back, almost stunned.

In the cabin at the back, An Yi's adopted daughter Xiao Xinghua and Leng Yue, He Nianci, adopted sons He Xiaodong and Ma Xiao (Xiao Xinghua's younger brother), Gong Ming, whose nephew is actually his own son, eldest son Ou Chengan, second son An Xiao, third son An Rui, a large group of people, large and small, under the leadership of Aunt Ma and the little nanny Peony, watched the naval officers and men freely maneuvering the ship's steering gear and driving the huge warship forward, the serious atmosphere made everyone very nervous, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, Leng Yue only turned eighteen years old this year, but she returned to China after obtaining a doctorate in applied chemistry from Harvard University in the United States last year, and is currently working as a senior researcher at the Perfume Research Institute of the Syrian Research Institute, with the rank of captain, and although Xiao Xinghua is only fourteen years old this year, she jumped several levels during the Boy Scout Academy, and later personally studied with Porosky, a cipher code expert, and gave full play to her talent in code breaking. Today, Xiao Xinghua has become a senior researcher at the Cipher Code Decipherment Center of the Ministry of State Security, with the rank of captain. Gong Ming and He Xiaodong, who followed the old way, were not yet five years old, but now they have jumped to about one meter three, and they look like little adults, with An Xiao, An Rui's two younger brothers and He Nianci's younger sister, they are very affectionate. Ma Xiao is twelve years old this year, and his temperament is relatively weak, not as sticky as his sister Xiao Xinghua, and now he is in middle school at the Boy Scout Academy, which is a little unsociable.

Witnessing the beautiful landscape scenery, An Yi was relaxed and happy, full of pride, and couldn't help singing a song: "The sea is smiling, the tide on both sides of the strait is surging, and the ups and downs are remembered with the waves." The sky is laughing, and there are tides in the world, and God knows who loses and who wins. The rivers and mountains are smiling, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are sweeping away the red dust and the world. The breeze smiled, but it was lonely, and there was still a night photo left of pride. The common people are smiling, no longer lonely, and the pride is still smiling and laughing, ......"

"Good song! Good song! What a pride! and the current scenery, it can be said to complement each other, a match made in heaven! Lao Shoudao shook his head and listened, stroked his long beard under his chin, and looked moved: "Look at this picturesque country, boy, do you still think that your efforts are not rewarded?" ”

An Yi didn't answer, seeing that the ladies were clapping their palms vigorously, and just as they wanted to be modest, the children in the cabin behind suddenly ran out, Xiao Xinghua took Leng Yue's hand, like a bouncing deer, and rushed to An Yi at once, one on one side, grabbing An Yi's arm.

Xiao Xinghua said loudly: "Dad, you sing so well, sing us another song!" You don't know, you sang two songs when you saw off Grandpa Blyukhel at the end of last year, and Ziwei's girl has been showing off in my ears and Yueyue for a long time, this time you must sing another song! ”

Leng Yue nodded again and again, although she had studied abroad for four years, but in the end, she was only eighteen years old, and she did not take off her true colors as a girl in the flower season, and her eyes were full of pleading when she looked at An Yi.

He Xiaodong and Gong Ming, holding their younger brothers and sisters, came to An Yi's side together, they all raised their heads and looked at An Yi, An Yi's head was suddenly as big as a fight, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Song Meiling, Feng Jieyun, Ou Chuer, Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi also looking at themselves with expectation, so they had to clench their fists:

"Okay, okay, it's hard to be gracious, but I declare first, I can only sing one more song, otherwise my half bucket of water will really toss you all!"

After speaking, An Yi raised his head and looked at the mountains and rivers near and far, and the pride in his chest continued to rise, and he groaned slightly, almost releasing the pride in his chest in the way of "roar":

"Arrogant in the face of thousands of waves, blood is like the red sun. Courage like iron and bones like steel, with a mind of thousands of feet and a long vision, I work hard to be a good man. To be a good man, you must be self-reliant every day, a hot-blooded man, brighter than the sun. Let Haitian gather energy for me, open up the world, and break through for my ideals, look, the blue waves are tall and strong, and the blue sky is vast and majestic, I am a man and should be self-reliant. Stand tall and be a pillar, be a good man, use me to be a hundred points of heat, and shine a thousand points of light! Be a good man, hot blood and hot intestines, more light than the sun......"

As soon as the song was sung, the entire deck burst into applause, and even the officers and men of the navy on the destroyer couldn't help but put down their work and clapped their palms vigorously. They all know very well in their hearts that today is An Yi, the supreme leader of the military and political system of An Jiajun, traveling with his family, so they all try to show their best side, do not squint, and go all out, but they didn't expect to be tempted by An Yi's singing voice now, and all their efforts have been abandoned.

Lieutenant Commander Zhang Tao, the destroyer's captain, was very excited, and the destroyer, who studied at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, England, and later served as the second officer and first officer of the destroyer of the Chilean Navy for one year, was appointed captain of the super destroyer named the "Yangtze River" after returning to China in January this year. The ship has a displacement of 2,930 tons and is equipped with a twin 140 mm main gun, twelve M1933 100 mm anti-aircraft guns, and 48 M1935 37 mm fully automatic anti-aircraft guns, plus two twin torpedo tubes on both sides. The ship's top speed can reach 45.08 knots, which is the fastest warship An Yi has ever sat on.

Zhang Tao, who was dressed in a white navy uniform, strode up to An Yi, stood up and saluted, and then said respectfully: "Commander-in-chief, our navy has never had its own war song, this song is impassioned, and the artistic conception is very in line with our navy, can it be used as a military song of our navy?" ”

An Yizheng wondered why the lieutenant colonel of the Navy ran to him with an excited face, and when he heard this request, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Do you mean this song you just sang?" ”

"Yes, a very passionate song, it is so suitable to be the battle song of our navy!" Zhang Tao nodded vigorously.

An Yi savored it carefully, "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" really has a hint of riding the wind and waves to move forward bravely, but it has something to do with the navy, and immediately smiled: "I will write this song to you Commander Lu when I turn around, so that all the officers and men of the navy will come to refer to it in detail, if everyone is satisfied, then it will be as you wish, if everyone thinks it is not good, don't mention this matter again, otherwise I will be very embarrassed, understand?" ”

"I'm sure everybody will love it! I'm convinced of that! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief! With that, Zhang Tao happily saluted An Yi, and then ran away.

An Yi shook his head, called Leng Yue and Xiao Xinghua, cooperated with Aunt Ma and Peony, and took the children away, and then said to Lao Shoudao:

"Uncle Dao, thank you for being with me for so many years, and you have made great contributions to today's situation! But seriously, I didn't expect our business to go so fast, so smoothly that I almost suspected that it was just a wonderful dream, and once I woke up, there was nothing. It's incredible to think that now our own political party has been established, and the Republic of South China has been formed, although so far, under pressure from the French, only the Far Eastern Republic has established diplomatic relations with us, but what does it matter?

"It's funny to say that the French government is now in the dark because of problems with intelligence and information gathering...... They thought that they still had a powerful ocean-going fleet and a colonial fleet, and that they retained control of Cochinchina, and they were still issuing frequent orders and dispatching troops. Admiral Darlan, Chief of Staff of the French Navy, instructed Kinsor to coordinate the overall situation, lead the fleet to attack the coastal waters of South China, and then envelop Thailand, asking the Thais to send troops to attack our province, Caiyun Province and Tien Nam Province, in an attempt to block us. However, the Thais did not know the specific situation here, and sent a large number of reconnaissance troops, disguised themselves, to cross the border to reconnoitre, but they wanted to do something under the nose of our special operations team, and it was simply a team with an axe, and as of yesterday, we had eliminated at least 560 Thai scouts, and not a single one of them slipped back.

"During this period, we repeatedly asked for help from France in the name of the fleet through the radio station of the 'Dunkirk' battle cruiser, saying that because our army had completely mastered the air superiority, it was difficult for the fleet to attack, and although we shot down 100 of our fighters, the fleet itself also suffered heavy losses, and two cruisers and four destroyers were sunk, and we asked France to mobilize new ships to support Cochinchina as soon as possible. It is reported that after the Daladier government quelled the civil strife, it had authorized Petain to form an expeditionary force, and at the same time asked the navy to fully cooperate, Darlan is obviously still hesitating, in order to make up for the lack of the Mediterranean fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Kinsor, the First Cruiser Fleet cruising in the French mainland and Central America has been mobilized to garrison the port of Toulon to deter the Italian Navy, if it still wants to transfer ships, it can only send the Second Cruiser Fleet responsible for the South American and North African routes to the Far East, and because the French warships have always neglected the problem of air defense, It could not suddenly change the tide of the war in Annan. Now the French are clearly aware of the importance of air defense and are overhauling the air defense systems of newly built warships. ”

Lao Dao smiled: "This battle was really beautiful, from beginning to end, the French government was led by our nose, think about how many supplies France has sent to Saigon through the British transport fleet from last month to now?" More than 100,000 shipbuilders, a large number of guns, ammunition and shipbuilding equipment, and even a lot of agricultural machinery, and they are still being sent to Saigon, we have made a lot of money! ”

An Yi pointed to a larger island on the right: "Uncle Dao, look, on the first line of Halong Bay, we are building a large number of fortresses...... The island is called General Island, the whole island is like a sharp sword out of the box, the island is mountainous, our engineering unit with the help of the mountain, built three fortress groups, once completed, only 203 caliber fortress guns will be filled with 50 guns, Ha Long Bay and the major islands as the gateway to coastal defense equipped with up to 500 fortress guns, In addition, with a large number of 88-caliber antiaircraft guns and 12.7-mm antiaircraft machine guns equipped with gun-aiming radars, as long as we strive for another two to three months, we can basically rest easy about the defense of Shanghai and Hong Kong.

"The same construction is going on in Cam Ranh Bay right now. Cam Ranh Bay is different from Haiphong Port, where the harbor is 17 kilometers inland and surrounded by mountains, and there is only a sea channel 1,300 meters wide, 5,000 meters deep and 500 meters deep for ships to enter and exit. As long as a large number of fortresses and air defense positions are built on the high mountains on both sides of the sea, the defense of Cam Ranh Bay as a whole will be impregnable, and a division of our engineers is currently working intensively there, and it is expected to be completed in May.

"The geographical location of Nanhua is too superior, our experts along the coastline from north to south, one by one to explore the hydrological conditions, found that there are the same superior geographical location and Cam Ranh Bay and undeveloped deep-water harbors as Mong Cai, Teluk Intan, Lo Nhon, Quy Nhon, Qiu Giang, Binh Hu, Nha Trang, My Di, Can Tho, Kampong Than, etc., it can be said that the long coastline of South China is a treasure, as long as there are railways, highways and other convenient transportation to connect, these cities scattered in the coastal areas like pearls, The pace of development is going to be amazing! The French only knew about enslavement and acquisition, but never thought of exploitation, and almost all the seaports in use now were opened up by us Chinese, and this alone is enough for everyone to understand the difference between a colonial government and a government that truly serves the people. ”

Lao Dao nodded, and suddenly became a little worried: "Such a good place, the French must be reluctant to let go, once they are entangled in heavy troops, how should we deal with it?" Is it really going to be a showdown with the French? ”

An Yi comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle Dao, for the grasp of the international situation, I believe that there are not many people in this world who can surpass me, now Germany is sharpening its knives, and the remaining territory of Czech Slovak will be gone in a blink of an eye, and when that time comes, Poland will definitely become the next target to be hunted!" Hitler spent huge sums of money to invest in South China, but in fact he did not have any good intentions, he wanted to try to create a false impression that China has completely fallen to Germany and Italy, and at the same time, South China can develop at a high speed, and the temptation to the foreign powers will inevitably increase exponentially, and France will be even more reluctant to discard this piece of fat.

"But even if we know that it is a sugar-coated poison on the outside, we have to grit our teeth and swallow it, this time the Germans are taking real money to invest, because the issuance of the German mark is based on production, when there are manpower and materials that can work, they make money, instead of considering the influence of gold, silver and even the dollar, now Germany, even to repay the European war reparations of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, are settled by industrial products, so a large amount of gold, silver and foreign exchange reserves harvested from the Jews, For them, it is of little use for the time being, so they simply use China to invest. Our Southwestern Bank, which has a large amount of silver reserves, but a little less gold, can rest easy with the generosity of the Germans. ”

Lao Shoudao nodded again and again, and frowned after a while: "Boy, since the Germans are so sincere, why don't we simply join the German-Italian military alliance?" Compared with the meanness of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, the Germans are not thin on us! Accept the overseas talents we send, never have two words, to technology to technology, to funds to funds, and now take the initiative to help Nanhua solve traffic and power problems, this pile of piles one by one makes people feel touched...... People should know how to be grateful, otherwise, who will dare to befriend us in the future? ”

An Yi smiled bitterly: "Uncle Dao, in fact, this is not only your question, but also the question of most generals in the army, but no!" There is an ongoing war between China and Japan, and if we choose to ally with Germany, Japan will be completely forced into Britain, France, and the United States, and China will have to bear the powerful naval threat of the world's first (Britain), second (United States), third (Japan), and fourth (France) on its own.

"Although the Germans are strong, but that is only the army, their navy is not even comparable to Italy, far water can not save the near fire, once China chooses to join the German and Italian chariots, then we will once again face the doom of being invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it will be an extremely terrible disaster for the country and the nation. Therefore, we can only make small fuss with Britain and France, and always limit our contradictions to the national liberation movement, but we must not waver in the slightest in our basic stance, otherwise the slightest mistake will end up in pieces. ”

Lao Shoudao was shocked into a cold sweat: "What if the French insist on tearing their faces with us?" Now the armed uprising in the whole territory of India has basically been suppressed by the British, millions of Indians who participated in the armed uprising have been killed, during this time the war has spread to the Ganges Delta and the Rakhine Mountains, and the provisional governments of Burma, Malaya, and Brunei have felt that the crisis is coming, and they are in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and they have sent people to southern Yunnan to ask us to sell arms to them. But how the rabble is the opponent of the regular army, as soon as the British are freed up and the French are reinforced, we are in trouble. ”

An Yi smiled slightly: "This is also an important reason why I just doubled the price to sell guns and ammunition, now the domestic armies are basically reequipped with the Zhongzheng series, and several Japanese weapons production lines in the Xiangxi factory are idle, and now there are orders, the originally deserted workshop has restarted mass production, and through the Hunan and Guizhou railways that have been connected, they are continuously sent to southern Yunnan, all of which are used to meet the needs of exports."

"It is precisely because of our request that the armies of Burma, Malaya, and Brunei, which are composed of Indian and local natives, did not take advantage of our Chinese factories, enterprises and plantations, and we also made a lot of money through the arms trade. According to my observations, as long as the war drags on until September, the international situation will change dramatically, and the British will not be able to shrink their forces, even if they do not want to. It's just the French, not in my eyes, but I hope they send more fleets and more soldiers, and we are trying to put a big pocket in Saigon, aren't we just waiting for them to come to the door? Come one to catch one, come two to catch a pair. When the French mainland falls, those advanced warships should be sent to South China to enrich our naval strength instead of cheapening the Germans and the British for nothing. ”

Lao Shoudao bowed slightly, turned his head and glanced at Song Meiling, and saw that she was pointing at the beautiful scenery near and far, and said in a low voice:

"What do you think of your godmother's visit to Nanhua this time? Accompanying her is not only He Jinhan, Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze, Yuan Shouqian, Xiao Zanyu and other senior brothers of Huangpu, but also Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Dingwen, Huang Shaohong, Chen Jiji, Zhang Fakui and other respected elders who are also teachers and friends, and the movement is not small! ”

An Yi was a little annoyed: "As soon as I saw that I opened up the situation in Nanhua, the principal wanted me to withdraw from the three places in southern Sichuan and give up that hot land to the central government." He didn't think about it well, now Nanhua is in ruins, steel, machinery, vehicles, building materials, etc. all need blood transfusion and supplies in southern Sichuan, although I have had a verbal agreement with him before, but that has to wait for me to gain a firm foothold in Nanhua, right? Last night, as soon as I heard Jiang Mingsan and their intentions, I was furious, and I immediately got up and brushed my sleeves away, leaving a large group of people there, embarrassed. Early this morning, my wife came to me, and I guess she also meant to make peace, but how could I let them get their wish? So I used the excuse of traveling to invite my wife to travel together, so as not to say that I refused to embarrass everyone!

"Family affection is family affection, the right thing is back to the right thing, at least I can still distinguish the severity! Whether it is the principal, the wife, and my Huangpu elder, brothers and colleagues, I welcome them to come to Nanhua for leisure and vacation, and I can cover the round-trip travel expenses, but if you want to fight my Syrian Mansion's idea, it depends on their lack of soldiers and horses, anyway, now Ye Cheng's mechanized front army is also about to be formed, and the three front armies of Beard, Brother Chengzhu and Brother Jinlong are almost formed, and now Syria has gathered more than one million troops, plus militia reserves, and a little bit of two million troops can be handled. If the principal prepares an army of three to five million, he can come to the Syrian Mansion to get it in person, otherwise, it will only depend on my mood! ”

Lao Shoudao couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Yi, have you found it, since you took possession of Nanhua, you have spoken a lot hard, in the past, it is estimated that you have to cry your father and tell your grandmother again, and you have begged in every possible way, where is it so domineering today?" The environment can really change a person! ”

An Yi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he really had a hint of flying and domineering, which made people associate with the outburst.

Now he is preoccupied with the development of South China, but he has never thought about how much pressure the country is under in the face of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, not to mention anything else, that is, the military salary of the astrological number is enough to overwhelm people, and if you think about it carefully, it is no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek wants to fight his own idea.

However, now that the construction of Nanhua is at a critical juncture, the Syrian government will naturally not give it up, but it can consider giving part of the financial subsidies to the central government to support the war on the front line. Anyway, the Germans sent a large amount of gold and silver, and in line with the principle of equal interests, they could consider giving a part to the central government.

In addition, when the South China was founded, it was found that there was a surplus of about 2 million tons of grain, which had been hoarded by the colonial government of French Annam for many years. With his own entry into charge of South China and the application of advanced agricultural technology, a large number of agricultural science and technology workers have gone deep into the fields to personally guide scientific seedling raising, rice transplanting, and fertilization; now Annan can basically achieve three crops a year, and there is no worry about the lack of grain at all, but now that there is a great shortage of grain materials in the country, it seems that 500,000 tons of grain can be transferred back to China to help the central government tide over the difficulties.

Thinking of this, An Yi strode towards Song Meiling, talked about it, and saw what kind of help was needed in the country, so that everyone would be happy and not so embarrassed.
