readx;
Early the next morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info An Yi washed Zongbi, and even ate two bowls of swords to talk about the city to buy back the heart; Album.
Wiped his mouth contentedly, motioned to the guards to bring his coat and put it on, and wanted to go out for a walk with Shen Fengdao.
It was already cold in Nanjing in December, and the gloomy sky heralded the arrival of winter snow.
The order for morning exercise was still coming from the playground of the Central Military Academy day after day, Bai An Yi put on a yellow tweed army coat, and the guards came to report the arrival of the commander-in-chief and his wife. An Yi didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to get up so early, so he hurriedly buttoned his coat and greeted him out, thanking Chiang Kai-shek and his wife gratefully.
Song Meiling wore a black tweed coat and an elegant Scottish-style scarf around her neck. His face was flushed with cold and a friendly smile. She inquired about An Yi's condition with concern and told An Yi to go back to the house as soon as possible and not catch a cold.
An Yi thanked him again and again, and walked to Chiang Kai-shek, who was wearing a military coat and revealing his bare head. He whispered: "Headmaster, the student wants to take a walk with you, and he hasn't come back for a long time, and the sound of the military academy's drill makes the student feel very cordial, and his heart feels like "It's like returning to his long-lost home." β
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "This is the reason why I insisted that you live in a military academy in the first place, every day I heard the trumpet blowing and heard the drill command." When you hear the vibrant slogans, you feel a sense of urgency and mission. β
"Principal Xie! Students take it to heart. An Yi sincerely thanks.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Then let's go." As we walk, I have some questions I'd like to ask for your opinion on. β
An Yi followed Chiang Kai-shek in front, and Shen Fengdao, who Song Meiling and her admired very much, walked a few meters behind, and asked Shen Fengdao in a low voice why he had not yet started a family? Shen Fengdao was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say that he had already decided on his family.
Song Meiling was very interested when she heard this, and joked in a low voice that the fiancΓ©e of such an excellent person as Shen Fengdao must be very simple, which immediately aroused a faint pain buried deep in Shen Fengdao's heart.
Walking dozens of meters, An Yi looked around, and then asked Chiang Kai-shek to change directions. Whispered suggested to walk around the "rest house", and he had an immature idea that needed to be reported. Chiang Kai-shek laughed. said, "I know that you already have a countermeasure in your heart, what are you doing in such a deep city at such a young age?" After speaking, he took the lead in the southwest direction of the "rest house"
An Yi followed up and whispered: "Principal, it was not that the students were reluctant to say it at the meeting yesterday, but that this matter was very important, far more important than the "Southwest Plan" a few months ago, or it can be said to be the "Southwest Plan". The next phase of the confidential program. Students don't dare to say it! β
Only then did Chiang Kai-shek understand that An Yi was reluctant to go to the playground with many instructors and students, and it turned out to be for this. I was very happy in my heart, but I still had a stern and solemn look on my face:
"Well, it seems that you haven't forgotten your mission, which makes me feel very gratified, let's say."
"Yes!"
An Yi took a deep breath of cold air and whispered: "Until the day before leaving Yichang, the students did not ignore the attention to the current situation of the four animals, and Liu Wenhui dared to put the bet on Tang Shengzhi and Wang Jingwei at such a critical moment. He also claimed that he was making intense preparations to respond to the call of the reorganization faction at any time, and led 100,000 elites under his command to go out to Sichuan to crusade against our Nanjing government.
Although this man is a great warlord with 100,000 troops. However, the students thought that this person was short-sighted and ignorant of current affairs. At this time, the civil war in central Sichuan stopped, and Liu Wenhui secretly sought personal gain because of his betrayal of the alliance and abandonment of his faith, and completely offended the Baoding faction such as "Zhongna Xihou, and he still did not repent in the case of hidden dangers of making enemies one after another." On the contrary, it is undoubtedly a fatal failure to jump out impatiently and try to get on the national political stage to show off. If we make proper use of it, the students estimate that the central government's entry into the land of abundance may be much earlier. β
Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stopped, stared at An Yi's eyes for a long time, and nodded suddenly: "You always surprise me, it seems that this year's exercise has made you progress very quickly, go, go to my house to talk in detail!" Your opinion coincides with Mr. Changqing's opinion, it seems that the opportunity has really arrived, if you don't seize this opportunity today, I'm afraid it will take a few more years. β
Chiang Kai-shek strode towards the "rest house" An Yi saluted and greeted several senior brothers in the chamber at the gate, entered the warm living room, took off his coat and hung it up, took the hot tea handed by the attendant and thanked him in a low voice, and waited for Chiang Kai-shek to take off his coat and sit down, before he respectfully sat on the single sand on Chiang Kai-shek's side.
An Yi put down the teacup at Chiang Kai-shek's signal. Whispered: "Principal, if the Central Committee can give General Liu Xiang more political support." If we then support General Yang Sen, who was defeated in northern Sichuan, and send special envoys to eliminate the hostility between the two generals, Liu and Yang, so that they can temporarily put aside their differences, and even if they cannot unite, they can seek a harmonious relationship, and Liu Wenhui will immediately fall into a state of isolation and helplessness.
Take the current Sichuan warlord pattern as an analysis. Liu Wenhui occupies a large territory, and the southern Sichuan, which can collect 15 million salt and sugar taxes every year, the rich Chengdu and its surrounding areas, the large mineral reserves from southeast to southwest Sichuan, and the three traditional silver mines and a gold mine that belong to the small-scale mining of ethnic minorities, are all the fundamental reasons why Liu Wenhui has become a warlord of all walks of life in central Sichuan, who is eager and even resentful. β
Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while, and slightly chwed: "What you said hit the nail on the head, go on!" β
"Yes! The above problems constitute the internal factors of Liu Wenhui's self-destruction, and as long as external forces are pressed to promote rapid changes, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort, even if they cannot eliminate Liu Wenhui's catty.
The rebel warlords who are empty-eyed will also make him fall apart and go into decline, and he himself will become the target of public criticism, and his territory will become the object of warlords from all walks of life in Sichuan.
The students thought that as long as we dealt with it properly and intervened in a timely manner, there would be no problem in occupying the southern and southeastern Sichuan regions connected with Hunan and Guizhou, and that Liu Xiang, who had already occupied Chongqing, would have the next target of Chengdu, and most of the other princes would also focus on the plains of the land of abundance, and they would be able to accept the loss of southern and southeastern Sichuan. The biggest problem in the southern Sichuan area is the rich tax salt well, this problem is actually not difficult to solve, as long as the benefits are properly distributed, the warlords from all walks of life will have no excuse to expel our justifiably stationed in the southern Sichuan area, and the students are confident that our central army will enter."
There is absolutely no problem in the southern and southeastern regions of Sichuan and gaining a firm foothold, and it is a matter of course that the central authorities will gradually take back the leadership of Sichuan. β
An Yi finally mixed his ambitions together and completely revealed them under the central banner.
Chiang Kai-shek contemplated with his eyebrows, raised his head suddenly for a long time, raised his right hand and commanded loudly: "Lixuan call Secretary General Yang Changqing and ask him to come to me immediately" Yes! β
The secretary replied loudly that he would do it immediately.
Chiang Kai-shek slowly leaned on the sand, looked at An Yi, who was quite restrained, with appreciation, nodded slightly, and showed a satisfied smile:
"Okay, your idea is more in-depth than Mr. Changqing's, very specific and feasible.
After all, Mr. Changqing is a civilian official and does not know much about military affairs, and the focus of his suggestion is to start from the political point of view, through the support of factions such as Liu Xiang and Yang Sen, to promote the mutual restraint of various forces in central Sichuan to cause splits, and then through our Central Army to mediate the conflict and quell the civil war in central Sichuan, to strongly intervene in eastern Sichuan. Although the method of achieving the goal of gradual infiltration and gradual reunification of the central authorities is good, it takes a lot of time.
Your suggestion is straightforward and effective, unique and refreshing, although the previous "Southwest Jige." It also includes plans for military occupation of the southern part of eastern Sichuan, but there are no such concrete steps and clear goals. Your idea today can just make up for the shortcomings of Mr. Changqing's plan, especially the occupation of southern Sichuan, which is very bold and feasible, because at present, the central government already has a foundation on the line between western Hubei and western Qianxi, and if you fuse your idea with Changqing's opinion and come up with a two-pronged approach, it will be easier for the central government to achieve its lofty goal of recovering the entire southwest.
Your comments are very good, a great achievement! β
"Thank you Principal for cultivating! The student is a native of Sichuan. I can't bear to see my hometown fall into an endless civil war, and it is still ordinary people who are fighting and suffering, so that Sichuan will end the protracted war. The only way out is to closely rely on the leadership of the central authorities, rely on the central authorities' strong army, and rely on the central government's policy of benefiting the people, so that the people in their hometowns can have a stable environment for recuperation and recuperation.
Principal, Sichuan has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Rich land and a large number of resources are waiting to be opened, and there is no problem in feeding a population of 10 million; if the central government gives more support in terms of capital construction investment and policies, Sichuan will return tens or even hundreds of times the benefits to the central government. Don't say anything else. The existing mineral and forest resources alone are a great treasure trove of the central government's finances, and the current Sichuan has suffered a bleak crisis of less than 10 million people and roads and bridges in disrepair due to more than 10 years of war, and the people's livelihood is in disrepair. Students don't have a day of peace.
Second, the main source of military spending for the warlords was opium income, and according to incomplete statistics, Sichuan's annual opium production was as high as 900,000 quintals. And the planting area and production are increasing every year. If only we could occupy the southeastern and "southern regions" of Sichuan, which accounted for half of Sichuan's total opium production. Not only can it vigorously eliminate the scourge of opium, but it can also cut off the source of funds for the Sichuan warlords in one fell swoop.
Another extremely important reason is that once the Sino-Japanese war breaks out, the strategic position of the "Fourth" will be quickly manifested, and as long as we have the strategic depth of the great southwest, we will be able to be invincible first, and its far-reaching significance is far beyond words can express. β
An Yi came to his heart one by one with a lot of emotion. The love is sincere, without the slightest artificiality. The heart of a child is overflowing.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded frequently, deeply touched: "It is very rare for you to be able to see so far away, and it also explains the urgency of unifying Sichuan and ending the warlord secession very thoroughly, although there is a greater potential benefit you haven't said, but I know you have thought of it." The situation in Guizhou has gradually stabilized, and the day is not far from when the central authorities will completely take back administrative power in Guizhou. After successfully resolving the current crisis facing the central authorities, the goal should be achieved quickly. There is your credit in this, and I and all the leaders of the central government have kept it in mind, but the central government is now in a sensitive period, and in order to appease and paralyze the separatist forces throughout the country, the central government cannot immediately take back the leadership of Guizhou, and it is also temporarily unable to publicly commend you, Zhang Hongza, Shi Zhen and others. β
"Principal, students don't ask for any recognition, and they don't want to hold official positions such as local officials, if it weren't for the fact that the country is now divided and the powers are looking around. The students are not even willing to lead troops to fight, and their greatest wish is to revitalize national industry and commerce, and through unremitting efforts, make our country a poor country step by step to transform into an industrialized power. Students know that this is a very long process, but as long as they work hard, they can achieve it little by little, and the booming industry and commerce of Lao Nanchang today is a successful attempt. As long as there is an opportunity, students are willing to sacrifice everything for the prosperity of the country and the nation. An Yi said from the bottom of his heart.
Chiang Kai-shek was quite moved when she heard this, Song Meiling had already come to the living room, stood behind An Yi and heard her words clearly, she was also very moved, slowly walked to An Yi's side, and smiled softly: "An Yi, you are worthy of being the best student of the principal." We're all so proud of you! β
Mrs. An Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Song Meiling smiled slightly, and gracefully made a gesture of please: "Let's go, you will get up early in the morning to exercise, you must be hungry, let's go to breakfast first, talk while eating, Mr. Changqing will be there soon, it is estimated that you will not be able to finish talking in the morning." β
Chiang Kai-shek stood up and waved his hand, and whispered to the secretary of the chamberlain: "Inform the General Office of the Central Military Commission that due to an important meeting, this morning's special military meeting has been postponed to tonight. β
"Yes!"
An Yi hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward: "Principal, the independent teacher will leave for Wuhan in the afternoon, and the students want to send them off in the afternoon." β
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and finally made up his mind: "Yes!" However, this morning we must come up with a preliminary plan for the second phase of the "Southwestern Strategy," and I have decided to hand it over to you with full authority in this matter.
After discussion and decision by the principal members of the Central Military Commission and the General Staff Headquarters, starting today, you will be appointed commander of the newly formed Fifth Army Corps, which will be stationed in western Hubei and whose public duty will be to be responsible for the operational command of the western Hubei theater. In the afternoon, the Central Military Commission will announce it to the whole country. However, you must be responsible for the formulation and implementation of the top-secret plan in the southwest at the same time, the formation of the headquarters must be completed within three days, and all personnel are selected by you with full authority, and they can be transferred from within the whole army. β
An Yi stared at Chiang Kai-shek in amazement. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and nodded and took the lead in walking to the restaurant, An Yi suppressed the joy in his heart, followed behind, and came to the table to see the sumptuous Western-style breakfast, and his appetite increased for a while.
