Chapter 1144 Entrustment

In the spacious and solemn conference room, only Chiang Kai-shek and his secretary Chen Bui remained, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, and Jiang Xiaoxian, the head of the internal guard, stood at the half-hidden gate from afar, and smiled at An Yi, who was quite surprised, but from Wang Shihe's eyes, An Yi saw a trace of worry.

Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly ****** his tired face with both hands, and finally pinched his temples before putting down his hand, seeing An Yi still standing in front of him in an upright manner, squeezed out a smile, and pointed to the chair in front of him:

"What are you doing standing, sit down, there's something I'd like to ask you for. In addition to organizing a large-scale military exercise to show our solemn stand, you also have to shoulder the heavy task of inspecting and supervising the garrisons of Hebei and Henan. Come, sit down and speak. ”

"Yes!"

An Yi pulled over the chair and sat respectfully in front of Chiang Kai-shek's side.

Chiang Kai-shek took the boiled water handed by Chen Bui, drank a sip, and put it aside: "The Liangguang Incident has developed to this day, it can be said that the overall situation has basically been decided, and it will no longer become our main crisis, Chen Jitang's army generals have already made their stand clear to the central authorities, and they will openly break with Chen Jitang in the next few days, and it is no longer a problem to take back Guangdong, which has been outside the central leadership for many years, and it is just around the corner." Yongzhi and Ziwen were also fully prepared to recover Guangdong's tax revenues and reform Guangdong's military and government finances by thunderbolt means. However, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I still feel that it is necessary to talk to you about the follow-up handling of the Liangguang incident, which requires your close cooperation. ”

An Yi saw Chiang Kai-shek staring at him expectantly, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The principal can give an order." ”

"Sit down! Don't stand up, there are no outsiders, my wife is Jieyun's godmother, speaking of which, I am your godfather, I can be regarded as the closest person, we don't need to be polite. ”

Chiang Kai-shek made a rare joke about An Yi, and then waved his hand to signal him to sit down: "The only trouble now is the Gui family, Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng. You know the character and ambition of these two people, and in the middle of the Northern Expedition in 27 years, in order to monopolize the central power, they took great pains to oust me from power, made you even more miserable, and finally left the army in disgrace, which is a great exposure of their ambitions. Since then, there have been constant conflicts between us and them, and when we crusaded against the Gui family in the twenty-ninth year, you were still my vanguard general, and these past events are vivid!

"This time, they saw that the Japanese army began to expand outside the Guanxi and North China, and all units of our Central Army gathered in the northwest to encircle and suppress the country, and saw He Jingzhi and Song Mingxuan lose their power and humiliate the country, and the whole country unanimously crusaded, so they mistakenly believed that the situation was favorable to them, thinking that the time to compete for the world had come again, so they pulled the rat-eyed Chen Jitang, and suddenly sent troops to the north, vainly wanting to occupy Hunan and Jiangxi, which were empty of troops, and then get involved in Hubei and Anhui provinces, and then threaten Nanjing again, so as to realize their ambitions.

"It's just that this time they didn't expect to be strongly opposed and criticized by the people of China, they didn't expect that the vast majority of the generals in the country would stand around me Jiang someone, and they didn't expect them to contact the *** people several times, and sent Pan Yizhi, secretary general of the Guangxi Provincial Government, to quietly rush to Dalian to contact the *** people, and many details were revealed by us one by one. Therefore, they lost the hearts of the people, and the conspiracy could no longer succeed. ”

An Yi listened quietly, Chiang Kai-shek said that An Yi actually knew all these things, and it was also the most fundamental reason why An Yi did not speak for the Gui family.

Although Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi sent Pan Yizhi to Dalian does not necessarily mean collusion with the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese invaders' attempt to undermine China's peace and stability and establish a government in Liangguang is very obvious.

What is even more shameful is that the two Guangxi provinces actually carried out the purpose of their military expansion under the banner of "going north to resist Japan", and finally offended the *** people who secretly supported them, so that the consul in Guangzhou jumped out several times to accuse, and said to the world very angrily that "the ambition of the Liangguang army has nothing to do with ***", and every day he came to the door to trouble Chen Jitang, asking him to change his slogan and cancel all anti-Japanese remarks.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that An Yi was touched, and then said: "The Gui family will not be willing to admit defeat, from the tough attitude and a series of confrontational actions they suddenly showed in the past two days, it can be seen that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi want to seek more *** rights and status when they know that it is hopeless to seek the Hunan and Jiangxi regions, and these are what I am most worried about." Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of their last bit of arrogance in order to completely quell the Liangguang incident and to concentrate on the outside world, so now I very much need your close cooperation.

"An Yi, you have to let Shi Zhen in Qianxi sober up, they are doing a lot of work on the surface now, but the various connections with the Gui system have not decreased at all, and there are not a few strategic materials flowing into Guangxi from the junction of the two ministries; Second, I plan to transfer Xia Jian's 26th Army, which is stationed in southern Yunnan, to the Yunnan-Guizhou border to increase the military pressure on Guangxi. However, these two troops are your descendants, and if you don't give orders yourself, I can't command them at all. ”

An Yi was reluctant in his heart, but his face was still respectful: "The principal is serious!" Students are the only ones who look to you, let alone the army under your command? There is no problem on General Shi Zhen's side, and the students will give them an order later, from now on, not a single shot will be allowed to flow into Guangxi. ”

"It's just ——," An Yi hesitated for a moment, and according to the truth: "Xia Jian's 26th Army really can't be withdrawn from the southern Yunnan region, they have just completed the first stage of training after the whole army, and after a short rest of 50,000 soldiers, they will immediately start the second phase of targeted training, and the target of the simulated operation is the Japanese army." The entire second phase of training will take four months, and after completing all kinds of targeted training, the 26 th Army will resolutely obey the dispatch of the Central Military Commission and the principal, and even if it is pushed to the front line, the students will unconditionally support it. ”

"Oh? Why didn't you say hello to me beforehand for such a big thing? Chiang Kai-shek could not see any deception on An Yi's face.

An Yi replied in a low voice: "The students feel that the more secret the training of the 26th Army, the better, and it can play a killer role at critical moments. Does the principal remember the large bridging machines that the students imported from Germany last year? After more than half a year of study and training, under the guidance of the German affairs consultant, a lot of valuable experience has been summed up, and the next step is to cooperate with the Zhouqiao troops and tank armored troops to carry out training, so it is difficult for the 26th Army to withdraw!

"There is another thing that students need to report to you, the number of the 103rd Division given to the students by the principal is not the 103rd Division that the outside world sees is being recruited and trained in Yichang, the real 103rd Division is in southern Yunnan, they are under the guidance of many professional military instructors from Germany, France, Russia and other countries, conducting armored military skills and tactics training and learning, division commander Li Yuewu and four secretly selected professional officers, will graduate from the German armored forces school and return to China before the end of the year, the students have planned to reach the day of the army, so they will ask the principal to give them the flag."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi with some surprise, and nodded again and again after thinking about it: "Okay...... Well done, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the sharp blade of the country cannot be easily shown to others. Alas...... Looking at the whole army of the whole country, only you have the strength, and when the army is formed, I will go, I must go. Okay, that's it, the 26th Army will not move for the time being......"

"Principal, the student suggested that the principal urgently summon Zhu Yi's seniors to Beijing, how to say that General Zhu Yizhi and Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng both have a good relationship, the three main divisions of the Yunnan Army have already assembled on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou in accordance with the principal's order, at this time let General Zhu Yizhi make a hard trip, fly to Nanning to meet Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng, the effect is estimated to be better, if the talk is not close again, General Zhu Yizhi's troops also have a good reason to enter the line of Baise in western Guangxi, so as not to stagnate because of personal feelings, plus Guigui, Under the pressure of more than a dozen divisions on the front line of Hunan and Guizhou, the Gui army had only one way to compromise.

"However, we still have to give the Gui Department a buffer time to consider, if we push too hard, the students are worried that it will backfire, and the dog will jump off the wall if they are in a hurry!"

An Yi quickly moved out the plan he had originally discussed with Zhu Peide, and could not use the 26th Army, which was carrying out arduous training in southern Yunnan.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "This is not a bad way, I have long planned to summon General Yizhi, and now it seems that I can only take this move." ”

An Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, another question from Chiang Kai-shek came one after another, and An Yi was very surprised, and he was not prepared at all.

"Another thing is that as everyone knows, there have been no air defense units in the areas around Nanjing, the central region of the state, and everyone from Chairman Lin Sen down to the generals and colonels of various departments and departments of the Central Military Commission are very worried; in the past three months, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Hangzhou have held several large-scale air defense exercises, and the results have made people even more worried, and it is impossible to hide from them by blindly evading them, so the establishment of a national air defense command and the establishment of air defense units have become an urgent and important task.

"Privately, I exchanged views with several ministers of the Central Military Commission, and everyone felt that it would be more appropriate for you to be the commander-in-chief of the air defense forces, and this department to be established will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission, directly responsible to me and the chief of staff, and at the same level as the ministries. The establishment of this department must be accompanied by the establishment of a minimum air defence force to undertake the heavy responsibility of air defense in the capital region. I suggest that you still accept this position, and send the Confucian general under your command, Tu Zhirong, to serve as the commander of the Capital Air Defense Command. I have prepared the big camp for you, and it is still the big camp of the Jiangbei *** Division ** that you built before. Chiang Kai-shek was very resolute and looked at An Yi without any discussion.

Who thought that An Yi was not the slightest reluctant, but showed a happy smile: "The principal is wise, and the students obey orders!" However, the commander-in-chief of the air defense forces should let someone else do it, because at present there are already many positions on the students, and this time they will go to North China, and they will not be able to return for three or five months, so it is better to let a capable and responsible colleague do it than to stand in a position and not do practical work. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied, and waved his hand non-negotiable: "Looking at the whole army, how many people are familiar with air defense affairs?" Only you have done the best job in the southern Sichuan region, thousands of air-raid shelters have been dug, various air defense positions are all over the periphery of important cities, and you have been training unremittingly for several years, and no one is more familiar with air defense affairs than you An Yi. The matter is settled, it doesn't matter if you are really too busy, just appoint a deputy to help you, if it doesn't work, just let Tu Zhirong concurrently serve as the chief of staff of your air defense command, and I will promote him to the rank of first. ”

At this time, An Yi had nothing to say, so he could only ask Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, how large do you think the capital's air defense forces need to be?" ”

"I think I have at least three regiments, right?"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi with a smile: "Don't worry, I only need you to support the strength and equipment of a regiment, and the central government is responsible for all the rest, and whatever weapons and equipment you need to buy from your arsenal will also be borne by the Military Commission, and you will not be missing a penny." ”

An Yi could only nod, although there are not many regiments, but there are also 2,200 soldiers and more than 300 vehicles of various types, plus radar, anti-aircraft artillery, engineers and other weapons and equipment, an air defense regiment alone costs An Yi millions, but from the perspective of the overall situation, An Yi is still willing.

Suddenly, An Yi came to his senses, in fact, the previous words that Chiang Kai-shek talked about with him were all pretenses, and only asking for air defense forces and people was Chiang Kai-shek's main purpose.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't care what An Yi thought, stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said in a serious and expectant voice:

"An Yi, I have always regarded you as my best student, and even as my own nephew, and I have great expectations for you! This time you went to North China, you not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country and the nation, but also shoulder the heavy trust of me, and in the current complicated domestic and international situation, only you can be competent for this important task.

"When you arrive in North China, you must act in strict accordance with the plan of the Military Commission, do not go too far, let alone take the initiative to provoke a war, and strive to be courteous and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant, and you must give me a good run of the defense line in central and southern Hebei to promote the stability of the situation in North China; the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to our preparations for war.

"Here, I will give you another power, you can dismiss those who are greedy for life and fear of death, those who are greedy for ink and fraud, those who do not obey orders, and those who do not learn and have no skills, and those who are bad can be arrested on the spot and escorted to Nanjing, and those who resist can be executed on the spot!"

An Yi stood up and promised loudly: "The students will not disappoint the principal's expectations!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, took An Yi's arm and walked to the gate: "I won't send you, when the problem between Guangxi and Guangxi is solved, I will go to North China to have a look." It is estimated that the main generals of the whole army will be present at the exercise in early autumn, so you should work harder so that everyone can see how to fight a modern war......
