In the Baoding camp, An Yi, who was discussing the battle situation with Zhao Rui, was very surprised when he heard Xiao Jiu's report: "Why is Kaplan here?" ”

Zhao Rui laughed: "Beauty is kind, it is estimated that people miss you, so I came to visit you!" ”

Lin Yaodong echoed again and again: "Yes, yes!" Speaking of which, this beauty has been gone for almost a year, and last time it was on the battlefield of Songhu......"

An Yi glanced at the two of them who had transformed into gossip parties, stood up and sorted out the discipline, turned around and walked out the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info came downstairs, and saw Kaplan standing at the gate of the camp from a distance, talking to the two girls in a low voice, showing flowers and branches, and the lights were shining, and several guards on both sides of the camp gate looked straight in the eyes.

An Yi strode over, came to the three of them, and just wanted to say hello, who knew that Nephrite Wenxiang had already hugged him - it turned out that as soon as Kaplan saw An Yi, he immediately screamed, like an octopus, and jumped on An Yi at once, wrapped his arms around his neck, and wrapped his two beautiful and plump thighs around his waist, hugging him to death.

"Dear Ann, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Kaplan exhaled like an orchid, and his blue eyes looked straight at An Yi, full of affection.

An Yi was caught off guard and made a big red face, especially when the base of Kaplan's thigh happened to be on the sensitive part of the man, and there was a quick reaction there.

Fortunately, over the years, his cheeks have been cultivated thick enough, and with a smile, he wrapped his hands around him, hugged Kaplan sideways, bent his body slightly, and made a dashing knight shape: "Since you miss me, why don't you come to see me?" You're a journalist, and you don't know my whereabouts......"

Kaplan looked up at An Yi's handsome face, pursed his delicate lips, and said aggrievedly: "Do you think I don't want to?" Last year was an election year, and I was the trump card of our newspaper, and when the election campaign was in full swing, I was transferred back and followed the whole process until President Roosevelt officially took office this month, and then he retired and returned to China again...... I came to see you as soon as I came back, and you wronged people......"

"Haha, I'm kidding you! But if you feel unhappy at work, simply join the Oriental News Agency, which has now become the largest circulation newspaper in China, and has also launched three editions in English, French and German, which are sold in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and the staff includes many well-known European and American journalists. ”

An Yi said as he gently put Kaplan on the ground and helped him up, and the corner of his eye looked around, and found that inside and outside the camp, many generals were dumbfounded, obviously it was the first time they had seen such a hot and passionate meeting.

"Ann, I'm sorry I can't agree to your invitation, I'm now the head of our newspaper's Far East bureau...... Come, let me introduce you to my colleague Aina, a graduate of Harvard Law School—"

The brown-haired beauty that Kaplan pointed at nodded gently to An Yi.

"This is Ingrid, the new consulate officer in Beiping, and a close friend of mine. She is responsible for exports and trade to China. My mother is Chinese, and I think you'll have a common language! Kaplan continued.

An Yi stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with the two girls, and greeted with a smile.

Aina's face is delicate and beautiful, and her skin is smooth and supple, like a perfect piece of ceramic. Ingrid is a half-breed, with fair skin and black hair, blending the best of East and West, and her beautiful appearance exudes dazzling brilliance. As soon as the three suffocatingly beautiful girls stood there, a powerful aura came, no wonder they would become the focus of everyone's attention.

An Yi vaguely knew Kaplan's true identity, and after welcoming the three girls into his office, he drove Xiao Jiu and Shen Fengdao out with a strange smile on their faces.

Kaplan was a typical self-cooked, pulled Aina and Ingrid to sit down on the only sofa in the room, looked at the spacious and tidy room, and said with a smile: "You are still so simple, a dignified lieutenant general, a hero of one side, and there are no decent furnishings in the office." ”

An Yi personally made a cup of coffee for each of the three girls, made himself a pot of tea, and then took a stool and sat opposite the three girls:

"During the war, everything was simple, and the soldiers on the front line were a hundred times more difficult than this, and they could endure it, so how could I feel wronged?"

"Ann, how have you been all this year? I see you've lost a lot of weight, so I guess you've got too much to worry about......" Kaplan asked, a little distressed.

An Yi was very emotional: "China's internal and external troubles, and there are many wars, how can it get better?" Let's just say now, the Chinese and Japanese armies are fighting fiercely inside and outside the Great Wall, and my heart has been hanging, I am afraid that if I lose Pingjin if I don't do it, I will inevitably be poked in the backbone at that time! ”

Ingrid, who had been silent before, suddenly asked, "General An, what do you think of this big war between China and Japan?" ”

An Yi Zhengse said: "This is a contest between justice and evil, aggression and counter-aggression, as long as I, An Yi is in North China for a day, I will never give up resistance -- now Japan's life is not easy, affected by the global economic crisis, many Japanese companies have gone bankrupt, many people can't even eat, where is there still the strength to support the war?" I firmly believe that the Japanese army that has attacked the Great Wall is already the end of the crossbow, and the final victory will definitely belong to us! ”

Aina was a little curious: "It seems that General An is very familiar with the situation in Japan......"

An Yi nodded: "At the head of the national crisis, if you don't understand our opponent, it will be a serious dereliction of duty...... By the end of last year, its total industrial output value had dropped by almost half, commodity and stock prices had plummeted by 60 percent, foreign trade exports had fallen by 70 percent, more than 1,000 enterprises had collapsed, nearly 500 enterprises had reduced their capital, and as many as 62 banks had gone bankrupt and closed down, especially in agriculture, Japan's agriculture was a semi-feudal small-scale peasant economy under the control of landlords and monopoly capital. Monopoly capital uses methods such as price monopoly and production restrictions to reduce losses, but the peasants are helpless and sit idly by, and many families are bankrupt and sell their children and daughters to beg for a living! It can be said that compared with China, which is poor and white, Japan is not much better, as long as it persists, it will definitely not be China that will be dragged down in the end. ”

The three girls glanced at each other, all showing surprise, obviously not expecting An Yi to be so clear about Japan and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses so well.

Aina thought for a while and said: "Although Japan's economy is on the verge of bankruptcy, it cannot be denied that Japan's education level, industrial base and modernization process are far deeper than China's, especially in terms of military affairs, Japan has the world's third-ranked navy and fourth-ranked army. Generally speaking, war is an important means of deflecting domestic contradictions and economic crises, and if China and Japan do not exercise restraint, it is not impossible for a full-scale war to break out, so I think it is better to be cautious. ”

Hearing these slightly threatening words, An Yi suddenly understood what the purpose of Kaplan's arrival this time was, and couldn't help but smile faintly:

"What restraint? The Japanese Kwantung Army has been launching continuous onslaught on our Great Wall defense line these days, and now they are almost attacking Pingjin, why don't they know to exercise restraint? Since 918, more than 50,000 soldiers have died in our unit alone, and nearly 100 million yuan in military resources have been spent. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, as many as one million Chinese people have died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army, how come they don't know to exercise restraint? Now it makes me restrained, which is too difficult for a strong person! ”

Kaplan sighed: "Ann, I also know that you are very difficult, but to achieve peace in the Far East is the common desire of all European and American countries, including the United States, for this reason, our new Secretary of State Hull sent a note to Japan at the beginning of his tenure, asking them to immediately stop the war on the Great Wall of China, otherwise economic sanctions will be imposed on it, the British government has also issued a similar notice, one of their infantry regiments has been stationed in Tianjin, this is already the most severe warning to Japan, France, Italy and other countries have also demanded that the Japanese government remain calm, end the war as soon as possible, and concentrate its attention on developing the economy and people's livelihood. ”

An Yi shrugged: "What does this have to do with me?" It seems that this is a matter for the Japanese government, and as long as they withdraw from Tohoku, there will be nothing to do......"

Kaplan smiled bitterly, "You know it's impossible, let's be realistic!" According to the current situation, it is a very remarkable achievement to be able to keep the land within the Great Wall! ”

An Yi pouted: "So it's useless to talk to me about this, if the Japanese don't take the initiative to show sincerity, how can I unilaterally cease fire?" ”

Ingrid interjected: "No war is isolated and one-sided, the current reality is that the Japanese army is pressing forward step by step, and the squadron is retreating one after another, so as the losing side, it is necessary for you to make some concessions and show appropriate sincerity." It is a wise move for the squadron to withdraw to the front line of the Luanhe River, and there is no need for your two divisions to drive to Tongxian, which will complicate the problem! ”

An Yi's face turned cold: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for the Japanese?" The appointment has been issued, and there is no possibility of change! Moreover, I want to explain that there are more than two divisions, and in the next week, the Luanhe front line will gather the superior strength of seven divisions to launch the most resolute counterattack against the Japanese invaders, and will not give up until they are driven out of the pass! ”

Ingrid shook her head: "Ann, my friend, there is really no need to do this, it is contrary to our foreign policy and guidelines!" It is very important for President Roosevelt to focus his current administration on restoring economic development and people's livelihood, maintaining a peaceful and stable development environment, and creating good import and export channels. The Far East, including China and Japan, is an important trading partner of the United States, and our government does not want to see normal trade threatened by war. ”

Aina added on the side: "We also regret the behavior of the Japanese Kwantung Army in disregarding the feelings of various countries and brazenly launching the Great Wall Offensive and attacking China's Guannai, but this can be solved through mediation!" At present, our foreign affairs department is urgently mediating with the Japanese government, demanding that they immediately stop their offensive and that the front must be stabilized to its current position, otherwise they will be severely punished! ”

An Yi smiled: "Since this is the case, you should go to the Japanese consulates in Tianjin and Beiping, why did you come to me?" ”

Kaplan explained, "Ann, we know that your follow-up units are rushing to the battlefield urgently, and the scale of the war has a tendency to escalate. Once the Kwantung Army is defeated, the Japanese government, under the condition that its own interests are threatened, will inevitably expand its army frantically and send a large number of troops to the northeast again, then the situation will further deteriorate and even lose control! I don't think you want a full-scale war with Japan at this time, do you? China now has a lot of problems, hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan are encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and various local warlords do not obey the leadership of the central government, in this case, some irrational behavior leads to the escalation of the war, do you think it is necessary? As a good friend of yours, the main purpose of this visit is to keep you calm, and as a qualified general and politician, you must take care of the overall situation! ”

An Yi stood up and laughed angrily: "Kaplan, I welcomed you in as a real friend. There has been a long-standing grudge between China and Japan, and now Japan occupies more than one million square kilometers of land outside the Guan, and now they have hit the idea in North China, but you asked me to give up the struggle. ”

Kaplan also stood up and said sincerely: "Believe me, An, now is definitely not a good time for a full-scale war between China and Japan, I know that your southern Sichuan is vigorously developing, and I also know that the other armies on the front line of the Great Wall are not of the same mind as you." Instead of consuming all the elites that he has accumulated over the years on the battlefield of the Great Wall, it is better to withdraw and develop his head down, so that in three or five years, the situation will inevitably change greatly. Think about it, if the Sino-Japanese war broke out in full swing and the Japanese army suddenly landed on the southeast coast of China and Shandong, how would you resist? Are you really sure that with the seven or eight divisions in your hands, you can fight against the Japanese army? ”

"I can't resist, but I can't do it!"

An Yi shook his head and made a gesture of "please": "Kaplan, I said a long time ago that Japan's economy is unsustainable now, and it will definitely not start a full-scale war with China at this time." The reason why the Japanese army has taken risks again and again and has continued to succeed is that they have seen the cowardice and fear in our bones, thinking that if they go further, we will take a step back and take advantage of the advantages gained on the battlefield to achieve more benefits at the negotiating table. Kaplan, maybe you are good to me, but have you considered my feelings, and if I don't retreat without a fight, what will the central government think of me? What will the other generals on the front line of the Great Wall think of me? What will my officers and soldiers think of me? What will the people of the whole country think of me, who have high hopes for me? The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, I am not in the mood to continue to communicate today, please leave, let me think about it calmly, okay? ”

Kaplan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Ann-"
