Chapter 599 Non-stop Calculation II
Kai-shek put down Hu Jialin's report on his resignation as commander of the tenth year, stood up slowly, and thought quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hu Jialin personally came to the training ground to guide the scraping practice, resulting in serious injuries. He was admitted to the General Hospital of the 6th Army, and the result of the examination was indeed that the old abdominal wound was torn and caused by inflammation and hydrops, which made Chiang Kai-shek not know which general to send to Jiangxi for a while to take charge of the Ninth Army, which was beaten to pieces by the Red Army. Since Wang Jinyu, the commander of the army, took over the number of the Ninth Army, he no longer has any outstanding features, and it is reasonable to resign now, if it is not for the northwest to be stabilized, Jiang Dingwen, the former commander of the Ninth Army, is also the best candidate.
Think about it for a long time. Chiang Kai-shek resolutely returned to his seat again and flipped through the urgent reports secretly delivered by Yang Yongtai and He Yingqin.
Chiang Kai-shek had long had an opinion on the non-cooperation of the Jiangxi garrison. He did not agree with He Yingqin to simply put the responsibility for the defeat on the issue of the local garrison's lack of cooperation, nor did he think that the Jiangnan Group was dragging its feet, after all, most of the material production enterprises of the Jiangnan Group had been recorded and separated, and the transportation company that He Yingqin complained about had already been transferred to Yu Qiaqing's name, and it had nothing to do with the Jiangnan Group.
Chiang Kai-shek is still very familiar with these orange conditions, but he did not blame He Yingqin for pushing Tan's responsibility, through the defeat of the first encirclement and suppression and the difficulty of the second encirclement and suppression, the strength of the small ** Red Army has given Chiang Kai-shek a deeper understanding, at this time, he will not discourage He Yingqin and Yang Yongtai's enthusiasm.
The second part of the secret report attracted great attention from Chiang Kai-shek, who had never expected that the garrison of the nine brigades under Yang Bin and Xia Jian would be so powerful. If Yang Bin and Xia Jian's garrison were sparsely low, I am afraid that they would have been attacked many times by the all-pervasive Red Army, where could they still hold so many tungsten mines and copper mines and calmly collect money for the Jiangnan Group?
Chiang Kai-shek also saw from the reports of He Yingqin and Yang Yongtai a key point that neither of them could see or that they deliberately ignored:
It is precisely because of the existence of Yang Bin and Xia Jian, two wise generals, that the ** forces have been unable to shake Nanchang for several years. Even the underground intelligence station could not gain a foothold in Nanchang. From this point of view, Yang Bin and Xia Jian have made great contributions. During An Yi's expedition to the west, Chiang Kai-shek secretly summoned Yang Bin, and also sent his henchman Na Wenyi to test Yang Bin's attitude several times, and did an in-depth and detailed investigation of Yang Bin's background, and came to the conclusion that Yang Bin was loyal to the Three People's Principles, loyal to the leader, had a clear political attitude, had rich experience in governing the army and had experience in making foolish wills, and was one of the mainstays of An Yi's old department, and was impeccable in all aspects, so he almost did not owe his allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek in person.
According to the opinions of Yang Yongtai and He Yingqin, there are currently more than 100,000 troops stationed in various central departments in Jiangxi, and there is no need for the provincial capital Nanchang and the entire Nanchang region to have three divisions of garrisons.
This suggestion was very impressive to Chiang Kai-shek, who knew what He Yingqin's potential meant, and also knew that if the garrison of these nine brigades could be transferred to fight against the ** Red Army, it would play a much greater role than the northern troops that were hastily sent to suppress the bandits soon after returning to Shun.
Strictly speaking, the security forces of these nine brigades were born out of the independent divisions and non-commissioned officer training bases during the An Yi period, and even if their combat effectiveness was not as good as Hu Jialin's independent division and Yin Jinan's 16 th division, they would still surpass the northern troops by a lot. Especially in the Jiangmu area that they are familiar with. This advantage is incomparable with other troops.
Chiang Kai-shek was worried about the attitude of An Yi and Xia Jian, the commander of the garrison in Ganzhong, after all, An Yi's Fifth Army had just been dismantled, so An Yi sprinkled his anger on He Yingqin, one of the initiators, such a reckless wild attitude, it did give Chiang Kai-shek a headache, once An Yi couldn't figure out how to disarm and return to the field again, the political impact and chain reaction would be very huge, especially the students who were important to him might turn against him because of this, and Chiang Kai-shek felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this.
Chiang Kai-shek was full of contradictions, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he planned to reactivate the number of the 17th Division, and integrate the three brigades of Yang Bin and Xia Jian into the 17th Division, and then slightly reorganize them. That is, they will go to the battlefield to suppress bandits, and the other brigades will either be retained. Or break it up, it's much easier. However, it was easy for the 17th Division to be reorganized, but it was extremely difficult to select generals. Although the troops from An Yi's old department fought bravely and were not afraid of death, they had the same distinctive characteristics, every commander was killed with real swords and guns, and the commanders who were not qualified and trusted could not control the strong subordinates at all levels.
Chiang Kai-shek also considered Xia Jian, commander of the Ganzhong Garrison Command, to serve as the commander of this new division, but Xia Jian was not a general from the Huangpu line, nor was he a close associate of the Xijiang line or the political system under his command. At the critical moment of stepping up the transformation of the army's bloodline, Chiang Kai-shek would not be at ease if Xia Jian, a Hunan native who had accumulated merit and promoted to at least general, was appointed to take charge of the 17th Division of the Central Army, and he was still less willing to leave the problem to the future to worry about it.
Originally, Yang Bin was the most suitable candidate, Yang Yongtai took office in Nanchang and had many contacts with Yang Bin, and praised the ability and character of the little brother Yang Bin with the same surname, and also suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that Yang Bin should be given a chance to perform at the appropriate time. After Chiang Kai-shek secretly summoned Yang Cheng, he also praised Yang Bin, who had a dignified and stable personality, was also a fellow villager in Xijiang and a junior brother in the later period of Baoding, and planned to talk to Yang Bin again to find out his political skills, and after approving the point, Yang Bin was sent to Gangnan to serve as the extremely important lieutenant general commander of the old Sichuan branch in southern Sichuan and the deputy director of the appeasement office, so as to share the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the young Yin Jinan, and at the same time play a supervisory and restraining role in Yin Jinan and the garrisons of various departments in southern Sichuan, so as to increase the strength to ensure the absolute loyalty of the military and political system in southern Sichuan.
In addition to Yang Bin, the best candidate, it is not suitable for others to go, and it is not as good as Liu Ming, the current central commissioner, only Yang Bin, who is the leader of the old city and the general of An Yi's starting army, is the best candidate, with Yang Bin's qualifications and the good relationship between Yang Bin and An Yi and generals at all levels, no one will reject him, and the work will also reduce resistance and be handy.
Now that Zhu Peide has devoted all his energy to his hometown of Yunnan, his beloved son-in-law Zhan Huanqi led a garrison division to escort him, and will not return for a long time in the future, it can be said that all Zhu Peide's interests are no longer in Nanchang, and the dismantling of the Jiangxi garrison should not be opposed by Zhu Peide, only An Yi's attitude made Chiang Kai-shek feel a deep headache.
Due to the limitations of Chiang Kai-shek's character. He didn't think that the best way to solve the problem was actually to talk to An Yi directly, as long as he negotiated with An Yi openly and honestly, he might be able to exchange An Yi's concessions, because in An Yi's secret plan, all the pillar industries in Jiangxi will be quietly transferred to Xiangxi and southern Sichuan in phases and batches, and An Yi can't spend three years to raise up to hundreds of millions of funds to build another old Nanchang in southern Sichuan, so even if An Yi disposes of all related industries, it will take at least one or two years. In such a way. Under the premise, An Yi has An Yi's scruples, and he will make smart concessions in order to protect the overall situation, but playing a conspiracy with An Yi behind his back will backfire, and the huge harm caused Chiang Kai-shek did not see, and even An Yi himself may not be able to predict the degree of harm, only one thing is certain: as long as An Yi is injured again, centrifugal detachment is absolutely unavoidable, and no one knows which road to take in the future.
At the critical moment of difficult choice, Jiang Jinshi once again thought of three people: the Chen brothers and the long-tested and loyal Xi thinker Yang Yongtai.
This is not that Chiang Kai-shek has any doubts about An Yi's loyalty now, but because An Yi is too young and too good, such a person is really a double-edged moment in the eyes of the superiors, and no one dares to guarantee that in a few years, An Yi, who has more and more merits and more and more experience, has no ambition to win the throne, and what will happen to the world in a few years, no one can predict, and can only do his best to create a good foundation for tomorrow.
The Chen brothers were both summoned, and not long after they came in, Yang Yongtai, who was in the dust, also rushed over from the airport and greeted each other slightly. Then we get to the main point of discussion.
Chiang Kai-shek finished his thoughts in the gentler way possible, and the Chen brothers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but Yang Yongtai sat on his chest with a calm smile on his face.
"Zu Yan, you seem to have any scruples?
Chiang Kai-shek asked a little strangely. In his mind, after Chen Lifu became the secretary general of the party department and the head of the organization department, he formed a department and took charge of party affairs with his brother Chen Guofu, and he has always acted without scruples, but how could he be so cautious in dealing with An Yi?
Chen Lifu nodded: "Yes, principal, not only scruples but also worries, recently, as long as the generals with troops in the Huangpu first series who are leading the army outside return to Beijing on business, they will go to the frustrated An Yi to have a drink to comfort him, but the headquarters and some of the Huangpu first and second phase generals gloat in their hearts."
On the surface, An Yi is generous and has no complaints, but it is certain that he is not happy in his heart! Although he blamed Huangpu teachers and friends several times for complaining about him, and said many times that he was tired of always fighting civil wars, and wanted to calm down and do some learning, and summarize the gains and losses of the past few years of conquest, but from this it can be seen that An Yi's influence is quite large, especially in the eyes of European and American countries and those opposition with ulterior motives, An Yi's use value is getting bigger and bigger.
A week ago, the subordinate investigation office was in the mail inspection, and now Li Jishen wrote a letter to An Yi from Hong Kong, so he tried every means to intercept An Yi's reply, after reading it, a few of us couldn't help laughing, An Yi used a joking tone to persuade his uncle Li Jishen not to deal with Wang Jingwei who made a fake bomb and blew up the reputation of a patriot. An Yi said that he and Lao Shoudao learned to read physiognomy, and had initially appreciated the essence of Taoist metaphysics.
Everyone laughed in unison, and although Chiang Kai-shek had read An Yi's reply, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh when he heard that his old opponent was deflated.
After everyone's laughter stopped, Chen Lifu continued: "After repeated analysis, we came to the unanimous conclusion that it is likely that Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng asked Li Renchao to match them and want to ease the tension between them and An Yi, because An Yi and his deep friendship with the Shizhen Department of Qianxi have completely cut off Li Delin's financial route, and most of the original Gui Army's annual military expenditure of 30 million comes from opium smuggling with Guizhou, and about 30% comes from the sporadic opium supply in Yunnan. In addition, after Zhu Yizhi took charge of Yunnan, the newly formed Third Division of the 38th Army just held the only two remaining trade routes between Yunnan and Guizhou, and the new commander of the Third Division, Zhu Shijie, was a fierce general who obeyed An Yi's words and words, and would definitely not give Li Delin who wanted to plot against them a few times at the beginning. The Qing newspaper showed that Guangxi Province pseudo-Xin Xi and Huang Fanchu made a big move to revitalize the Xianggui Railway. "Appreciate the huge work. It started two years ago, when Li Delin patted his chest and made a promise to the Bagui father, but in the past two years, the repair and repair have been stopped because of the war, and now the situation has improved, Li Delin ordered to start construction again, it is estimated that even if the roadbed is repaired, there is no money to buy railroad tracks, if An Yi asks Shi Zhen and Zhu Shijie to continue to blockade them, I am afraid that the Gui army who sued Cai can only solve the problem by fighting a war, but when it comes to fighting. Does he think he can beat the three armies of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan with strong soldiers and strong forces?
In this case, if we weaken and suppress An Yi, who has already been suppressed, the possible negative impact is really difficult to estimate, and if An Yi simply throws himself into the other camp in a fit of anger, the situation in the southwest and the whole country will immediately erod, and the results of years of hard work will be wiped out in an instant.
You might as well imagine how An Yi's old independent division, the 16th Division, the 44th Division, the 24th Army, and the departments of Xiangxi and Qianxi under his command would react, what would happen to the rest of our Central Army, and what would happen to Zhu Yizhi? After being publicized in newspapers, magazines, movies and radio, An Yi and his An Jiajun have always been a sharp weapon for our central government to deter the ground. Therefore, this matter must be treated with caution, and must not be taken lightly. β
Chen Lifu's opinion is exactly what Chiang Kai-shek was most worried about! Chen Guofu also agreed with his brother's analysis.
Yang Yongtai didn't care, waved his hand and said unhurriedly: "I know An Yi's character. Strictly speaking. He only cares about the reaction of the Japanese! There are many stumbling blocks in the interests of the state and the nation, and there will be no contradiction to the arrangements of the central authorities. In fact, strictly speaking, our move is not to dismantle An Yi's old department. There is no intention to continue to suppress An Yi, in the current critical period of suppressing bandits, as a party leader and a student of the commander-in-chief, if An Yi always has the interests of the country and the nation in his heart as he promised, he will not care about this small adjustment, not to mention that although the Jiangxi garrison force is an army formed by An Yi himself, it is a local armed force under the leadership of the party-state, if An Yi has an opinion, it will only be an opinion that the funds invested in the formation of the garrison force cannot be recovered, based on the current monthly cost of four million military expenses to suppress bandits, What's the harm in compensating An Yi for two or three million investments? Doesn't it mean that An Yi cares about money very much? Isn't that right? As long as An Yi is given enough compensation, presumably no matter how uncomfortable he is, he will not have any complaints, and everyone should have confidence in An Yi.
Secondly, according to Brother Jing's opinion, a person who had a good relationship and respect with him could be transferred from An Yi's old department to serve as the commander of the new division, and his subordinates thought that it was not difficult to make such a candidate, and there were no less than 20 comrades in the second and third phases of Huangpu who served as brigade commander and deputy division commander in An Yi's old department. Is it so difficult to choose a person who is both virtuous and loyal to the leader? It's not hard! If the commander-in-chief is undecided, there is a person under his command for the commander-in-chief's consideration. β
"Oh? Chang Qing said let's listen. β
Chiang Kai-shek asked happily, apparently by Yang Yongtai's words. Just tickled Chiang Kai-shek's itch
Finish.
"The outstanding student of the commander-in-chief, who returned from studying in Frunze, Russia. Major General Lu Yixuan, the deputy commander of the independent division who performed well in the Second Northern Expedition, the Western Expedition and the Central Plains War, and commanded well! Yang Yongtai smiled slightly after speaking.
Chiang Kai-shek stood up and walked a few steps, turned around and nodded heavily: "Ziang is very good, I actually ignored him for a while, he is indeed a general with both wisdom and bravery, I agreed!" Presumably, An Yi will not have an opinion on this appointment, An Yi respects this senior brother very much, and the two are the only two personal disciples of the Russian shooting instructor, and the relationship is extraordinary. It's hard to believe that Changqing is so delicate and thoughtful! β
Yang Yongtai humbly thanked him, saw that Chen Lifu was still not at ease, and thought that He Yingqin would continue to seek the Nanchang garrison, his eyes turned around, and he suggested to Chiang Kai-shek again:
"Commander-in-Chief. There is one more suggestion from the subordinates. β
"Changqing, please!" Chiang Kai-shek sat down satisfied
Yang Yongtai said quite cautiously: "Since the commander-in-chief thinks it is feasible, it is best to invite General Lu Yixuan and An Yi to announce the order as soon as possible, so that An Yi will feel more comfortable, and then transfer the compensation to An Yi at one time, which can be regarded as the principal's concern for An Yi."
Next. His subordinates suggested that An Yi be allowed to join a military inspection mission headed by General Jiang Baili and set off for Europe and the United States later this month, in order to use An Yi's reputation and outstanding military exploits. At the same time, the long-term trade cooperation with the European and American consortia will certainly be of great benefit to the entire military inspection mission.
General An can take this opportunity to see the military level of various countries and the situation of industrial exhibitions, and also let the depressed General An take this opportunity to travel around the world and relax! Wasn't the last stop on the delegation's visit the United States? General An and Mr. Ou's daughter have long been engaged. Just let General An go to meet his fiancΓ©e who is studying abroad, what a lot, haha! β
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and nodded frequently, Chen Guofu nodded and smiled with a smile, saying that it would be much easier to deal with, and the worried Chen Lifu also admired Yang Yongtai's shrewdness.
