The 5,000-ton cruise ship leaves the ancient seaside city of Lübeck for hours. A few small people on the www.biquge.info boat immediately became active, and even the ladies and ladies of various countries who were unwell during the thirty-six days of the voyage also changed into decent costumes. Climb to the foredeck or the left and right sides of the ship and gaze over the towering bell tower of Hamburg's Michel Cathedral in the midst of laughter.

Georg Weitzel, the chief military adviser in China and the adviser to the inspection delegation, walked into An Yi's cabin and said with a relaxed smile: "An Xiao, we will soon return to the solid land of Germany." ”

An Yi stood up happily, stopped talking with adjutant Shen Fengdao and Ministry of Foreign Affairs commissioner Cheng Tianfang, and followed Weitzel out of the ship, passed the VIP spiral staircase, and ascended to the top deck. In a good mood, more than thirty days of boring and tiring sea voyages seemed to be forgotten at this moment.

This inspection was already in the plan of the Central Military Commission, and preparations began in the second half of last year, and the members of the inspection team were all carefully selected, and only An Yi was a general who was temporarily stuffed because of Chiang Kai-shek's needs. But he was also entrusted with the name of An Yi as a deputy head of the regiment. The reason seems to be very good

An Yi understands English, and is a famous general of the Northern Expedition who is very interested in China and abroad. Another important reason is that An Yi's mountain warfare textbooks compiled for the Central Military Academy and the Non-commissioned Officer School were appreciated by Hermann Kribeyer, the second general adviser of German affairs, and recommended to the German side as reference teaching materials for military schools. For this, An Yi received a copyright fee of 5,000 marks, but what is more important is honor and recognition.

Georg Weitzel, a former chief of the operations department of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, succeeded Hermann Kribair, who was erudite and rigorous and capable but could not get along with Chiang Kai-shek, as commander-in-chief of Chiang Kai-shek and the third military chief adviser of the National Revolutionary Army in June last year. The strategic plan and the operational command of the Central Plains War last year benefited from Wetzel's suggestion, and Wetzel also attached great importance to and made achievements in the reorganization and building of the National Revolutionary Army. In the Central Plains War, the anti-Chiang army of more than 700,000 was menacing on the four routes of Jinpu, Longhai, Southwest Lu, Pinghan and Hunan. Weitzel took the lead in putting forward the strategic policy of focusing on the Pinghan and Longhai battlefields, and suggested that the small anti-Chiang army and air force should be used to contain the small anti-Chiang army on the Pinghan battlefield and strongly command the few air forces to participate in the war, so that Chiang Kai-shek and the generals of the National Revolutionary Army could see for the first time the power of air-ground coordinated operations.

In the Central Plains War, he stipulated that the air force must bomb the enemy's position with all its might before the Sixth Army attacked, and after the attack, some planes must cover the rapid attack of the Sixth Army over the position, and only at night were allowed to return. As a result, the Chinese Air Force, which had a low level, was forced to make progress under his harsh and strict demands, and Fan Zhongxiu, commander-in-chief of Feng Yuxiang's Eighth Front Army, was also killed in the bombing by German Junkers. The anti-Chiang coalition forces had to draw troops from the main battlefield to deal with the main battlefield in Longhai. The foundation was laid for An Yi to open up the battlefield on the Western Front, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions and Chen Cheng's 11th Division, which had German-style equipment and German-style training, wielded 100% combat strength with the help of many German advisers. Teaching the second division was once surrounded by the Northwest Army led by Ji Hongchang, a brave general of the Northwest Army, in the face of the Northwest Army, which was brave and good at fighting, hard-working and bravely crowned all the armies, the firepower and defense organization of the second division were quite outstanding, and the Northwest Army stormed the position for several days before the corpses were all over the field, and finally the commander Ji Hongchang shed tears and withdrew from the siege with hatred.

Throughout the war, German advisers shuttled to the front line regardless of life and death, and General Counsel Weitzel stayed on Chiang Kai-shek's special train. Chiang Kai-shek's every decision was made in consultation with Weitzel, and even An Yi's top-secret military plan was also handed over to Weitzel for review and deduction, and Chiang Kai-shek praised Weitzel's loyalty, courage, and diligence, and repeatedly gave Weitzel "indispensable" comments.

Weitzel has a rigorous and diligent style, except for his work, he never has too much contact with the generals below Chiang Kai-shek, and he does not accept any private banquets from generals, but he gets along well with An Yi. He has discussed China's current situation and the trend of military exhibition with An Yi at the Central Military Academy many times, especially highly appreciated An Yi's unique training method and flexible command style, and sincerely admired An Yi's righteous act of paying a huge amount of money to buy grain for disaster relief. He once joked with An Yi like this: It seems that you, like my predecessor, Colonel Hermann Kribair, are typical representatives of national socialism!

Another member of the delegation seems ordinary, but in fact it is very important, this person is Cheng Tianfang, who got along with An Yi very happily along the way. Cheng Tianfang went to the United States to study at the official scholarship eleven years ago, and then went to the University of Illinois in the United States and the University of Dulandu in Canada, where he entered the Department of Political Science and the Institute of Political Science of the two universities respectively, specializing in international relations. And graduated with excellent grades, after returning to China, he served as the executive committee member and propaganda minister of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Department of the Kuomintang and the director of the Department of Education, assisting Zhu Peide, the chairman of Jiangxi Province at that time, so Cheng Tianfang and An Yi, who paid attention to education and national industry and commerce exhibition, have a deep relationship, 29 years later, Cheng Tianfang was transferred to the Anhui Provincial Department of Education, and was promoted to acting chairman of Anhui Province last year. However, his professionalism and knowledge were greatly appreciated by the Chen brothers and Zhu Jiaban, and this time he was jointly recommended by the three giants of the Belgian Department to participate in the delegation on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which means that the meaning is by no means simple, the head of the delegation, Jiang Baili, said very far-sighted in his casual chat with An Yi

Due to the last European war, Dexian and we belong to two camps, the two countries have not formally established an embassy until today, over the past few years, the relationship between the two countries has become increasingly harmonious, economic and trade and unofficial military exchanges are increasing, normal relations between the two countries may soon be established, before the German institutions in China are only the traditional consular level institutions by the default of the Nationalist Government, which is completely caused by the continuation of the Beiyang government period, this time the Central Party Department arranged Cheng Tianfang, and Commander-in-Chief Chiang also paid more attention to him, and it is likely that he was the ambassador to Germany.

For many reasons. An Yi attaches great importance to the good relationship with Cheng Tianfang, and Cheng Tianfang also deeply admires An Yi's talent and righteous deeds, and has repeatedly said that An Yi's selection of outstanding talents to study in Europe and the United States every year is a far-sighted move. The contribution to the country and the nation is indelible.

The port is getting closer and closer, the welcoming military band and the flag of the German ** team are clearly visible, and the welcoming crowd gathered at the cruise berth pier is no less than 2,000 people, and the cruise ship is slowly docking, and the gangway has not yet been lowered. The military band composed of more than 60 people had already played the welcome song, and the crowd that had been quietly looking forward to it also burst into cheers.

Led by Hermann Krybayer, the former general adviser of the military in China, the German generals stood in a neat line-up in front, and the Hamburg city officials were lined up, the lineup was huge and extremely grand, hundreds of students studying in Germany stood on the right side of the military band, waving flowers and jumping with joy, among which the 17 men standing in the front row wearing the gray military uniform of the National Revolutionary Army, wearing a big cap and an armed belt around their waists and leggings were extremely famous.

The gangway was stable, and the delegation disembarked under the warm applause and humility of the passengers, and the grand and warm welcome ceremony began. Under the introduction of Weitzer, Hermann Kerrybair, dressed in the uniform of a majestic colonel of the Wehrmacht, gave An Yi a hug after saluting, and happily asked in English whether the long journey was anxious. An Yi smiled and replied that he thought about the German friends he was about to meet1 and advanced aircraft, artillery and industrial enterprises every day, so he didn't feel difficult at all.

The mayor of Hamburg and celebrities in the business world saw the legendary young general An Yi for the first time, and they heard a gratifying and meaningful hope from his words, and they all had a good impression of the young, handsome and rich An Yi, and they were polite.

"Dear An, I think you should go and meet your old subordinates first, they are Shen Jianping, Tao Xun, Zhang Cheng and others who I saw standing neatly in front of hundreds of international students to the right.

An Yi couldn't bear it anymore, thanked him in a low voice, and didn't have time to say hello to the regiment commander Jiang Baili, under the gaze of dozens of reporters from various countries and thousands of pairs of eyes, he sorted out his military hat and pulled his shirt, walked to a group of tearful old subordinates who were excited about the reunion after a long absence, and looked at the familiar faces and the white but neat old military uniforms on their bodies one by one.

Shen Jianping, who had grown a mustache and was very mature in the whole country, shouted loudly: "Salute" report to the head of the regiment, Shen Jianping, captain of the second lieutenant of the international student team, reported to the regiment commander that there were 18 members of the first and second German study teams, and there were actually 17 people, of which Zhang Yintong followed his mentor, Professor Federin, to go on a business trip to the Belgian arsenal to test the technical indicators of the newly developed artillery shells, and he could only return after 10 days. After the report is completed, please show the head of the regiment! ”

An Yi heard that Shen Jianping still called himself the head of the regiment, not the current general, and suddenly remembered something else in the General's Temple outside Gao'an City. The old subordinates who knew that they were loyal were telling themselves their hearts by the names of the past. Tell yourself that they will still live up to his expectations as before.

An Yi was moved, nodded and took a step forward: "Take a break!" Since separation, I often worry about you, the old officers and brothers in the army are also concerned about you, and now Li Meisheng, Lao Gao, director of the research institute, and hundreds of soldiers who have been silently dedicated to the cause of the Chinese industry are concerned about you, and they are looking forward to your return to China after completing their studies, and your letter, a telegram, and a greeting 1 Every bit of progress has made the brothers in China extremely pleased and envious. Because you also carry their hopes and ideals, to put it more seriously, the hopes of the nation and the army!

I have the privilege of meeting you today, and I am very excited, just like seeing my long-lost brother and my own family, you are so good! I'm proud of you! ”

"Longer"

"Master's seat

The seventeen men could no longer control their rushing emotions, and tears of excitement and joy poured out, and they surrounded them one by one, hugging Xiao Duan tightly with An Yi to tell their feelings, and Jiang Baili, Xu Tingyao and others and thousands of onlookers were moved to sigh frequently"
