Chapter 2043 Bargaining

The special plane of Song Meiling and Song Ailing sisters arrived in Chunxiang City, it was 11 o'clock at noon on the second day of the first lunar month, and An Yi, Ou Chuer, and Feng Jieyun personally greeted them at Chunxiang Airport. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a year of treatment in the United States, Soong Meiling recovered from her injuries, and then took Kong Lingyi, Kong Lingwei, and Kong Lingkan, who came to meet her, and Kong Lingkan, who studied here, to carry out diplomatic activities in the United States for half a year, during which she lived in the White House for a long time, and had intimate exchanges with the Roosevelts, the Churchills, Hopkins, Marshall, and others, and was invited to give speeches to members of the Senate and House of Representatives in the US Congress many times.

Eleanor, the wife of the President of the United States, praised Soong Meiling's speech as "not only a grand occasion, but also unparalleled in the world", "When Yu witnessed Madame Chiang wearing Chinese clothes along the podium along the road, and was obscured by the people who arched around her, Yu had to feel extremely honored by Yi's achievements, and when Yi spoke, she was no longer a woman, but the most obvious great person who fought with strength in all the battlefields of the world!" ”

Brom, chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Relations Committee, said: "Madame Chiang's elegant speech, thorough explanation of the world situation, and fluent and dexterous use of English not only enable every audience to understand its significance, but also to hold the same opinion as her, and the only people who have influenced the American people are former Southern leaders An Yi and Madame Chiang!" "The first novel is iron-clad

Soong Meiling's speech at the Congress was broadcast to the whole United States by radio, arousing a strong response from the American people, and people in the government and the opposition wrote letters one after another to pay tribute to Soong Meiling or invited her to wander and give speeches; as many as 4,000 letters were received every day, and more than 5,000 editorials and commentaries were published in newspapers and magazines from all walks of life in the United States, setting off a whirlwind of praise for Soong Meiling in the United States.

Later, Soong Meiling and Roosevelt jointly held a press conference in the Oval Office of the White House, which was unprecedented in number and once again triggered an upsurge of media and public worship.

During their stay in Washington, Soong Meiling and her entourage went to Mount Foleng to pay respects to the mausoleum of the Washington couple, lay wreaths, and visit the former residence of Washington. Soon after, she attended a press conference hosted by Mrs. Roosevelt, where she refuted on the spot the provocative questions raised by some reporters about insulting China.

Unfortunately, the American continent was hit by the Japanese landing operation, which burned the flames of war to the United States, and the US government, which was too busy to take care of itself, became increasingly tight in the supply of military supplies, and at the beginning of last year, Soong Meiling returned to China with a $500 million aid loan.

During his stay in Kulen last year, An Yi and Chiang Kai-shek had a great argument about Lu Yixuan and An Jiajun's entry into the Great Wall, and there was not much private communication between him and Soong Meiling, and Soong Meiling was very angry at Chiang Kai-shek's private life during her more than a year away from China, so she was in no mood to make peace for Chiang Kai-shek. Now that the matter has been resolved, and Chiang Kai-shek's career is closely related to the interests of the Song family and the Confucian family, this is why Soong Meiling's visit took place.

As for Soong Ailing, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as the Nanjing government formulated a series of wartime economic systems, the Confucian family took advantage of the introduction of various policies to speculate on foreign exchange, securities, standard gold, cotton yarn, flour, and other markets to seek huge profits, and it is said that they "made 8 million pounds" in the speculation of arbitraging foreign exchange alone. (--Net)

Two years after the Anti-Japanese War, Soong Ailing's deposits in the United States ranked first among all the Nanjing government's deposits in US banks, and he was called "the money bag of the Chinese" by American journalist Selivan. During his tenure as executive director of the Central Information and Translation Bureau, Soong Ai-ling's eldest son, Kong Lingkan, shouldered practical responsibilities and took advantage of the arms trade to obtain huge kickbacks, and also used his own transportation company to grasp the privilege of "special transportation by the state" and seized the opportunity to ship smuggled goods, smuggle and sell smuggled goods, and obtain huge profits.

Kong Lingkan's ability to "make money in business" was praised by Song Ailing. And the second daughter Kong Lingwei is like a strong woman, in charge of Xiangji Company, Guangmaoxing, Jinfengtai and other enterprises, taking advantage of the power of industry is not as good as business, business is not as good as hoarding and wealthy power, and engaged in hoarding and other operations, making a lot of money in the country.

At the end of last year, according to the investigation data of the US Treasury Department, at least $80 million of the $500 million obtained by the Nationalist Government had been deposited into the private account of the Kong family.

Chiang Kai-shek's nephew and An Yi's Whampoa brother Jiang Xiaozhen once said to Dai Li, the head of the military command: "The illness of the commission can only be cured by Song; The lady's illness can only be cured; There is no cure for Kong's disease. Here, Song refers to Song Meiling, Kong refers to Mrs. Kong Song Ailing, and Kong's illness refers to the corruption and harm of the Kong family.

Because of this, although the Kong family hinted many times that they wanted to invest in the south, they were all rejected by An Yi, he didn't want to cultivate a deformed economic monster around him and affect his great business.

Ou Chuer is the goddaughter of Kong Xiangxi and his wife, and Feng Jieyun is the goddaughter of Song Meiling.

An Yi looked at it with a smile, and waited for the greetings to finish before stepping forward and said, "Master, Mrs. Kong is good!" ”

Song Meiling looked up and down, and nodded again and again: "Still so young, still so handsome...... How is it, do you miss your wife! ”

"Of course!"

An Yi greeted with a smile: "Master, how are you recovering?" After you returned to China last year, I asked Uncle Dao to take our medical team to Nanjing to check on you, and I came back to tell you that everything was okay, and I was relieved. Last year, when I was in Kulen, I saw that you looked very bad, but it was difficult to ask questions, and now it seems that you are recovering well! ”

Song Meiling naturally didn't explain that there was a problem with her relationship with Chiang Kai-shek at that time, she smiled and didn't say anything, and Song Ailing on the side pretended to be angry and said: "Xiao Yi, you only consult your master, why don't you worry about my body?" Speaking of which, I'm still your godmother, right? ”

An Yi turned his head and said without humility or arrogance: "Mrs. Kong is now well-known in the industrial industry, I heard that this time we have split the industry with our southwest allies, and the shares of many enterprises have been acquired by the consortium controlled by Mrs. Kong, so heroic, if An Yi is the youngest daughter, wouldn't he be smiling and generous?" ”

Song Ailing smiled heartily: "Compared to Chu'er, I'm far behind...... By the way, I heard that Jiangnan Group's industries in Jiangxi, including shipyards, daily chemical plants, textile mills, and paper mills, will be sold recently, can I participate? "The first novel is iron-clad

An Yi waved his hand disappreciatively: "Of course, I can't ask for it!" It is expected that by the end of this year, we will completely fade out of Nanchang and the surrounding area of Poyang Lake, and before that, all industries will be auctioned publicly, and the Kong family has deep pockets, so it is natural to go to the bidding. (--net)"

Song Ailing's eyes rolled: "Okay, I will definitely go to the scene when the time comes." ”

The guests and hosts got into the car separately, An Yi and Song Meiling took the same car, while Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun accompanied Song Ailing to sit in the back car. The convoy drove out of the eastern suburbs airport and drove west on the spacious road, with neat street trees on both sides, rows of garden houses and flat lawns behind the street trees, and the blue waves of Chunxiang Lake in the distance were rippling, and the surrounding flowers and willows were green, and the scenery was pleasant.

Unlike other cities with dense factory areas and tall chimneys, as well as the unique landmarks of industrialized cities - one after another red brick tube buildings, Chunxiang City here is sparsely built, there are not many high-rise buildings, and it looks not much different from China.

You know, Chunxiang City, which has been connected with three railways, has undergone strict planning in the urban area and the surrounding 100 kilometers, and there are almost no heavy industry enterprises distributed, mainly tea factories, wood factories, food factories, bamboo weaving factories, handicraft factories and other light processing factories and post and telecommunications, commerce, tourism, and financial industries, so although the scenery looks pleasing to the eye, the air is very fresh, but in the end there is no huge visual impact brought by the industrialized city, and the Song sisters do not think it is very special.

chatting about the past along the way, sighing. An Yi greeted Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek's daughter Jiang Jingyi again, and after knowing that the little sister was in good health, he smiled and asked if the little guy was still satisfied with the gift he gave? Song Meiling said again and again that she had a heart, and then talked about the situation of An Yi's children, and unconsciously the convoy returned to Chunxiang Palace.

After eating a sumptuous lunch, Song Meiling, who had something in her heart, took An Yi to Chunxiang Lake for a walk.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two came to the wooden bench by the lake and sat down, bathed in the warm winter sun and enjoying the gentle breeze on their faces.

"An Yi, tell me the truth, what do you think in your heart? If you really don't want to give up your domestic foundation, I can ask your president to intercede and maintain the status quo, and after a hundred years of your president, you will inherit his career and continue to lead China forward. ”

"Master, it's not that you don't know, I don't want to fight a civil war!"

An Yi shook his head with some regret: "The so-called overkill, now the territory I control is big enough." In this land, there are more than 300 million Chinese, and new changes occur every day, and I slowly watched a blank sheet of paper being slowly smeared with me, and this satisfaction cannot be expressed in words......

"Looking at the country, although the country has long been unified, when have the military orders and government orders been truly unified? Although the Japanese have been expelled from the country, Yan Baichuan, Zhang Hanqing, Fu Yisheng and various departments of the Northwest Army in the north are wary of each other, coupled with the intertwining of the base areas in the meantime, the interests of which are entangled. In the south, there are the Gui and Yue factions, and the growing Hunan and Guizhou troops that have abandoned me, and I really don't want to get involved too deeply, so I spend all my limited energy on endless internal friction.

"By the end of this year, I plan to thoroughly handle the industries in Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Jiangxi, and then concentrate on developing abroad, strive to get back several million square kilometers of land, and thoroughly solve the problem of insufficient land and resources that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years...... But here I want to ask my wife to say a favor to the principal, and let Zhang Hanqing restrain a little, otherwise I don't guarantee that the troops under my command will not defend themselves and fight back, and it won't look good when everyone tears their faces! ”

Speaking of this, An Yi looked angry. Due to the impact of the sudden rise of the An Jia Army, not only were the Guangdong Army and the Northwest Army not exhausted in the successive series of major battles in Nanjing, Xuzhou, Wuhan, etc., but even the Northeast Army, which should have disappeared in the long river of history, was also preserved, resulting in a situation in which the local warlords could not be defeated.

Due to the strong industrial production capacity of Northeast China, which was completely inherited from Japan, Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to inspect the old headquarters of the Northeast Army during Christmas last year, and formally appointed Zhang Xueliang as chairman of Hebei Province on 1 January this year, and deployed all six armies of the Northeast Army to eastern Hebei, northern Hebei, and southern Chahar.

Over the past month, the commanders of the Northeast Army have frequently made tough remarks on radio stations, newspapers and magazines, saying that all the officers and men of the Northeast Army, who are unable to leave their homeland, are very eager to leave the customs and return to their homeland, and hope that the Anjia Army will take the initiative to withdraw from the northeast region, otherwise it will not be ruled out that the soldiers who are homesick will use force.

The lower-level officers and men of the Northeast Army, who were instigated, frequently invaded the defense areas of the Northeast Military Region and the Mongolian Military Region of the Anjia Army in groups and committed all kinds of provocative acts, triggering a serious military confrontation and attracting the attention of the whole country.

Song Meiling's heart sank, she knew very well in her heart that this was Chiang Kai-shek's plan to drive away the wolf and chase the tiger.

But if An Yi is really provoked, regardless of the old feelings, and with the strong strength shown by An Jia's army to defeat the German army, the Central Army, which has expanded to five million, will definitely not be an opponent, and the Northeast Army, whose strength has long been different from what it used to be, is even more hopeless, and it will definitely collapse at the touch of a button, there is no doubt about it.

If An Yi's ambition to win the Central Committee in the Central Plains is stimulated, then the problem will be serious.

Thinking of this, Song Meiling hurriedly said, "I will ask your principal to restrain Zhang Hanqing and his gang of arrogant soldiers." However, the Northeast Army has been living in Guannai for eleven years, and it is understandable that they are homesick! ”

An Yi snorted: "If it weren't for that, how could I tolerate the continuous excesses of those soldiers and ruffians in the Northeast Army?" As long as they do not carry weapons, they can safely pass through our army's defense zone at any time, and they will regularly report to the household registration management department of our Military Management Commission during their return home. But if anyone wants to bully me into the compassionate heart of not fighting the civil war, I will make him understand that there are some mistakes that cannot be made! "The first novel is iron-clad

Song Meiling was dumbfounded, she didn't expect An Yi to be so tough, but thinking about An Yi's status today, she was relieved, and after a while, she asked tentatively: "Then how does Xiao Yi solve the remaining problems such as Northeast China, Mongolia and Recha?" ”

An Yi pondered for a moment and said, "At least until the end of the war, I am not ready to give up the Northeast and Recha regions, after all, our Andong Military Region and Dahan Military Region still need supplies from the Northeast Military Region." After the end of the war, we will auction off most of the property and organize the emigration to the Far East and Siberia according to the principle of autonomy, after which our troops will withdraw completely.

"As for Mongolia Province, I will not give up, I plan to spend ten to twenty years to gradually divert water from Siberia to the south, improve the desert landscape in central and southern Mongolia, relieve the water pressure in North China, and let the sandstorms that rage in spring and autumn disappear!"

Song Meiling breathed a sigh of relief. Chiang Kai-shek and she have always cared little about such a bitter cold place as Mongolia, as long as they can recover the Northeast and Recha completely, plus Hainan Island and Taiwan lost at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Nationalist Government can be regarded as ensuring the territorial and sovereign integrity, greatly increasing the national and national morale, and can leave a strong mark in history.

Song Meiling said gratefully: "Xiao Yi, my wife knows that I have wronged you!" Thank you for all you do for your principal and me! Fortunately, you have now created a great foundation, which is no worse than the development in China, and my wife's heart is more comfortable. Tell me, what do you need your wife to do for you? ”

An Yi said: "Master, next month I will hold a grand parade in Nanhua Bay, and then our navy, land and air force will launch an attack on the Japanese invaders entrenched on Hainan Island and the Indian Ocean islands. With the defeat of Germany in West Asia and the resumption of the Indo-Atlantic route, the international situation will change radically, when a world summit of allies will certainly be held.

"I hope that the president will demand at the meeting that after the war, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands be taken back, and that Japan's development be held hostage once and for all, and that a passage to the ocean be opened.

Song Meiling didn't have the concept of the Anjia Navy in her mind at all, thinking that it was just a formation of several old warships, and she was in a very relaxed mood:

"I thought it was a big deal, this is easy to do, I'll tell your principal when I go back! But how easy is it to beat Japan? Now that even the Japanese invaders on American soil have not been eliminated, when will the fleets of the allies have the strength to launch a counteroffensive in the Pacific? Moreover, now that Japan has taken root in Australia, a large number of immigrants have been settled, and the end of the war is far away! ”

An Yi smiled and said: "Master, you can relax, Germany and Japan have now reached the limit of expansion, the so-called prosperity must decline, once it collapses, its speed is much faster than we imagined, I believe it will not be long before you see this change......"
