Chapter 1167 Uninvited Guest (2)

Koichi Ishikawa's gift was very valuable, and anyone present was aware of the value of the katana with the imperial emblem, not to mention that the katana used by the imperial family and its side families were the highest manufacturing techniques, and the authority and status represented by the gift katana alone were enough to impress everyone.

An Yi accepted it very politely and generously, he understood Ishikawa Koichi's character, recalled that when they drank together at the Nanjing Central Military Academy, they talked about everything from the south to the north and south, and the Sino-Japanese relations from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Republic of China were also being discussed, An Yi vaguely remembered that he had praised the manufacturing technology of *** katana, and praised the achievements of *** Meiji Restoration, but he didn't expect Ishikawa Koichi to still remember it in his heart, and he brought the family's katana as a gift when he came to China again.

An Yi is convinced that this pair of katana swords has no purpose, it is purely an expression of Ishikawa's personal feelings, and it is also Ishikawa's use to show his sincerity and frankness Brother Xin, showing the credit and character of the Ishikawa family, which has nothing to do with the current Sino-Japanese relations.

After talking to each other for a while, the guests and hosts went to the west wing room for a feast.

The two Hebei Provincial officials, who were much left out, sat at the banquet early, and saw a group of generals of the Seventeenth Army come in with a relaxed expression, and quickly stood up, and greeted politely, and saw An Yi and Ishikawa Koichi talking and laughing hand in hand, the eyes of the two officials suddenly opened as big as copper bells, and the two of them did not know the origin of Ishikawa Koichi and An Yi, only knew that it was this Ishikawa who led his troops to take Chengde as quickly as thunder, which led to the strategic rout of the An family's army outside the Great Wall. also knew that Ishikawa Hao, who was bombed by An Jiajun's plane, almost died in the southern suburbs of Chengde, and was sent back to *** for treatment for nearly a year before he could get out of bed and walk.

After An Yi's brief speech, the banquet began.

The generals of the 17th Army Headquarters drank a few glasses of wine, and most of them said goodbye, leaving only the army commander Hu Jialin, the director of the *** department Huang Yingwu, and the regiment deputy Li Jun as accompaniment.

Koichi Ishikawa politely sent away a group of generals who were in military affairs, and he was very emotional in his heart, touched a cup with An Yi, and looked at Hu Jialin politely:

"General Hu's hometown is Cangzhou, not far to the east, right?"

Hu Jialin nodded and replied politely: "Exactly." ”

Ishikawa Hao nodded: "Cangzhou Martial Arts Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger!" I heard that at the Tianjin Jingwu Conference held at the beginning of this year, the first place in boxing and the first place in swordsmanship were all from the heroes of Cangzhou martial arts. It's a pity that I was still in *** at the beginning of the year, and I didn't have the opportunity to participate in this martial arts event, so I am deeply sorry! ”

Hu Jialin smiled slightly: "Didn't the two people who won the first place in boxing and swordsmanship both be hired as instructors by your Tianjin secret service?" General Ishikawa probably didn't know that these two people had been expelled from the wall by their sect, right? ”

Ishikawa Hiroshi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this, it seems that the contradiction between China and Japan is already very serious." Today we are happy to meet again after a long absence, so we will not talk about these uninteresting topics. I salute General Hu, no matter how the current situation develops in the future, and no matter whether we will fight each other to the death on the battlefield in the future, I don't think it will affect the personal feelings between us. Seriously, I am honored to meet the world-famous General Hu again! ”

Hu Jialin shook his head and sighed, then stood up, picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Ishikawa Koichi, raised his head and drank it all, put down the glass and said goodbye apologetically:

"General Ishikawa, the area around our defense area has not been very peaceful in the past two days, and as the commander of the first army, I am anxious! There is no way, the military affairs are in the body, and I can't accompany General Ishikawa to get drunk and take a break, so I will leave for the time being. ”

"General Hu, please!"

Koichi Ishikawa politely took a few steps, sent Hu Jialin to the door, calmly returned to his place and sat down, seeing the two diplomatic officials of the Hebei Provincial Government looking uncomfortable, he smiled, and said politely:

"Wang Jun, Zhao Jun, you don't have to be restrained, if you want to go out for a walk, go ahead, An Jun and I are old friends, we have to have a few drinks to catch up."

Wang Tonglin and the two were relieved, quickly stood up, and respectfully said goodbye and left.

Huang Yingwu smiled slightly, and also stood up to say goodbye, but Ishikawa Koichi politely stopped Huang Yingwu to give a glass, put down the wine glass and bowed to Huang Yingwu and said, "I'm sorry for Huang Jun", which made Huang Yingwu, who was already an adult, sigh with emotion, and suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was getting heavier and heavier.

An Yi laughed, instructed Li Jun to set up a small table in the backyard to continue drinking, and walked side by side with Koichi Ishikawa to the tree-covered courtyard, walking slowly among the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Ishikawa-kun, are you married?"

An Yi is concerned like an old friend.

Ishikawa Koi shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, your plane blew up my intestines, hundreds of stitches all over my body, and I went back to *** to rest for more than a year before recovering, and then under my mother's *** heart, I went to our family's hot spring in Hokkaido to recuperate for a period of time, and before I had time to think about personal matters, I went to the staff headquarters in June this year under the repeated urging of the military department." What about you? I heard that your two ladies are beautiful and beautiful, and they gave birth to children for you, I really envy you! ”

An Yi replied with a smile: "I have four sons and a large group of adopted sons and daughters, and the family is very lively." If it weren't for your aggression, I would be at home with my children in my arms and living a carefree life. ”

Koichi Ishikawa smiled a little bitterly: "It's about the fate of the two countries, and it's not something I can control." By the way, I heard that An Jun has been taking in homeless children for eight years, establishing a boy scout academy, and giving thousands of children the best education and military training. It can be seen that An Jun prepared for the possible Sino-Japanese war eight years ago, right? ”

"Yes! However, I was born too late, and I guess it would have been better if I had been born before the Opium War or before the Sino-Japanese War. An Yi replied briskly.

Koichi Ishikawa smiled again: "An Jun is still so frank and humorous, admirable!" Let me tell you something, before I was injured and sent back to ***, Commander Muto Nobuyoshi once came to my hospital bed and asked me how I thought of the current Sino-Japanese situation and the squadron, and at that time I directly told him that we must attach importance to the An Jia Army, form a special department to study the tactical thinking and training methods of the An Jia Army, and it is best to do everything possible to curb the development of industry and commerce in China, especially under the An Jia Army.

"It's a pity, Muto's predecessors died too early, and no one paid attention to my advice in the proud *** army, until the beginning of last year, I suddenly found that the rapidly growing An Jia Army, as well as the industrial group controlled by the An Jia Army, has become the biggest trouble for our *** army, and the military department immediately instructed the General Staff Headquarters to set up a research team to conduct a systematic study of An Jun's army, but then there was a hawkish military incident, and a major general and a large Zuo who presided over the study were unfortunately killed, and the group was immediately disbanded.

"In June this year, under the appeal of the generals who returned to China, such as Tohihara and Ishihara, the group was reinstated, and I was appointed as the leader of the group, and I was authorized several times more than my predecessor, and mobilized more than 40 experts on China issues, the former Kwantung Army and the generals of the Tianjin Garrison Army to work together, and at the beginning of this month, I finally came up with a research report, but this group was not disbanded and continued to carry out research. Three days ago, I suddenly received an order to be urgently sent to Tianjin to serve as deputy chief of staff of the garrison army, and when I came to Tianjin, I learned that it was the request of the commander of the garrison army, Tashiro-kun, and the chief of staff, Okamura-kun, who were at a loss for what to do with the An Jiajun, so they thought of me. ”

"Huh!? Why did Ishikawa-kun reveal these things to me? An Yi asked with some surprise.

Koichi Ishikawa glanced at An Yi with a slight reproach: "You quietly set up an international relations research institute in Southwest University of Political Science and Law, right?" In the name of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, you conducted academic exchanges and analysis with universities in Europe and the United States, and the focus of your research happened to be about the situation in China and the military. I think An Jun is definitely more aware of what is happening in the country than the Chinese government and the generals who are mainly focused on fighting for power and profit, and has a full understanding and response to it, am I right? ”

An Yi sighed in admiration: "I know that I can't hide it from Ishikawa-kun, to tell the truth, whether it's Tashiro, Tohihara or other *** generals, it's nothing in my eyes, Ishikawa-kun is the one I have the most scruples, you are more worried than Kenji Dohihara, Ishihara Waner, and Itagaki Seishiro, who advocate 'consolidating the Northeast, stabilizing North China, taking steps as a battalion, and taking a multi-pronged approach'."

"When I say this, it's not because you know much about me and my army, but because you have an objective analysis and foresight of the past, present and development trend of the whole of China, which surpasses that of other generals, and what worries me even more is that your erudite and humble character, as well as your overall situation and keen insight into the battlefield, are terrifying!"

Koichi Ishikawa laughed: "Anjun, the two of us, do you feel a little flattering each other?" ”

An Yi also smiled: "It's really a bit like that." ”

Ishikawa Koi stopped and sighed faintly: "Seriously, I am very reluctant to face you on the battlefield, but, with my current status, I can't change my fate at all, the history of the *** army is very complicated, although there are not as many factions as your *** team, but they also exist, and the *** army pays more attention to qualifications and military exploits, in this regard, the members of the royal family and the generals of the side branch family must be respected, and they must strictly follow the conventions in the army." Therefore, I am quietly trying to find a way to avoid staying in the North China army, which has become a thorn in the side of the army generals, and the situation is complicated. If all goes well, I may return to the Kwantung Army again next spring and continue to serve as the commander of the *** brigade that I once held. As long as I can avoid An Jiajun, my career will be much smoother. ”

An Yi stared at Koichi Ishikawa in astonishment, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Ishikawa-kun, I feel that you are much more interesting than me, haha...... So, in the future, Ishikawa-kun's direction of attack will be Shanxi, right? ”

This time it was Ishikawa Koichi's turn to be stunned, he looked at An Yi for a while, and couldn't help but show a bitter smile:

"Anjun, I feel more and more that my decision is right, you are terrible! I'd rather hide far away than run into you on the battlefield. ”

An Yi nodded gratefully, took Koichi Ishikawa's hand, and walked to the small wine table that had been set up under the big tree:

"Ishikawa-kun, no matter when, I will treat you as my friend, and I can even promise you that Chuannan, who is never open to *** people, will welcome you as a guest. However, as long as the Sino-Japanese war starts, as long as you command the army to attack the squadron, you will be my enemy, which is a great righteousness and has nothing to do with our personal feelings for each other. ”

Koichi Ishikawa sighed softly, his expression extremely sad:

"I understand your feelings and respect your opinion. It's just that, like you, I love my country deeply, so let it be! Anjun, let's not talk about these heavy topics, it's rare to see each other today, you and I should cherish a drunken party, this parting, I don't know when we will see each other next time......"
