Chapter 6 Breaking the Cocoon and Flapping Wings to Dominate the Industry (7)

Chiang Kai-shek is worthy of being the best family in this troubled era, under the repeated movement of his high banner or light or covert, Yu Xuezhong, the general of the Northeast Army, was approved by the central government and the Beiping Military and Political Commission with a high vote, and became the chairman of Hebei Province, which left a trace of face for the Northeast Army; Song Zheyuan, the meritorious general who had the most hope of becoming the chairman of Hebei Province, also happily announced his appointment as chairman of Chahar Province, and stayed in Beiping all day, waiting for his old boss Feng Yuxiang, who had been summoned by the central government, to relinquish his territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Among the generals and commanders of the past, because of the position of the chairman of Chahar Province, it has finally officially moved towards ***, and the Northwest Army is no longer the Northwest Army that was in the past.

Others don't know why Song Zheyuan accepted the appointment of the central government so happily, but An Yi understands one of the most important reasons:

Before the 24th Army withdrew from North China, it quietly sold the advanced weapons and equipment of a division to Song Zheyuan at the most favorable price, but even at the most favorable price, the total amount of the transaction was as high as 3.65 million yuan, and this money was transferred to An Yi's An Jiajun account in less than seven days.

Based on the analysis of Song Zheyuan's embarrassing financial situation, it is difficult for him to come up with millions of cash at once, even if the old bottom that had accumulated millions of yuan through the collection of local taxes is still stretched thin because of the large-scale expansion of the army that is still underway.

The reason why Song Zheyuan suddenly became rich is that you don't have to think much about it to see that there is the shadow of Chairman Jiang behind him.

In the name of the central authorities, he quietly spent several million yuan to buy peace in North China, to buy the submission of Song Zheyuan and tens of thousands of his officers and men, and to be able to contain and divide the nearly 100,000 Northeast Army, which was in decline but was unwilling to give up its vested interests, and to successfully separate the master-servant relationship between Song Zheyuan and Feng Yuxiang for decades.

Even if it is necessary to pay millions or even tens of millions of dollars for this, it is much wiser than to use force and spend several times or even dozens of times the military expenditure, not to mention that the fifth encirclement and suppression of dozens of divisions of the Central Army has reached a critical period of strategic encirclement, but the warlords of Liangguang and Guangxi are not willing to be lonely and ready to move at this time, and the Japanese invaders occupying the northeast are eyeing each other day and night, and the thief's heart is not dying, and a stable North China is too important to the implementation of Chiang Kai-shek's entire strategic plan.

Although An Yi still firmly supports the national unification policy adhered to by Chiang Kai-shek, nominally obeys the leadership of the central government and obeys the leadership of the first country, but An Yi and the powerful army led by him no longer listen to the tune and listen to the announcement, therefore, Chiang Kai-shek, who has always had absolute command over An Yi, can not bear it, and is unwilling to delve into the reasons and find out the focus and core of the contradiction.

Yang Yongtai is a resourceful person, but Chiang Kai-shek's resourcefulness and power are even farther than Yang Yongtai, otherwise he would not have today's status.

After a detailed analysis of An Yi, both of them knew that it was not the time for public severe punishment, not to mention An Yi's good reputation and rising status in the eyes of the whole people and even all walks of life at home and abroad, not to mention that the An Jiajun still had more than 100,000 elite troops after the disarmament of 120,000, just taking the economic strength of An Yi Group as an example, Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Yongtai and others were helpless, and at the same time, they also deeply regretted their indulgence and neglect for so many years. Anyi Group has penetrated into all fields of the entire national economy, including its banks, light and heavy industries that have formed a scale and achieved a monopoly position, advanced technology that exceeds the comprehensive multiplication of all domestic groups and institutions, and pharmaceutical industry and grain and oil enterprises that have deeply affected the daily lives of people across the country...... What's even worse is that the interests of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, who hold the central government's money bags, are almost tightly tied to An Yi, forming a trend of one prosperity and one loss.

"Weakened! Suppress! Weakened again, suppressed again, and then divided into pieces, reduced to zero! ”

This is the only strategy that Yang Yongtai has written in more than three months after more than a year of thinking and research, and then the only strategy on the 60-page secret report.

He has seen the terrible monopoly power of the An Yi Group, which continues to grow and develop, the rapid trend of An Yi's economic control and military development, and the deep crisis that if it is not stopped, the state power will be subverted and occupied by An Yi and his clique in the next few years.

Looking at An Yi's development trajectory in the past eight years, Yang Yongtai clearly realized that if An Yi, who is dressed as a warlord and a big capitalist, but has strong nationalist ideas and strong socialist ideas, comes to power to maintain the rule of the elite class and advocate capitalism, the political science department will never come out.

After repeated weighing, Chiang Kai-shek finally made up his mind to continue to suppress An Yi's clique not only militarily, but also to carry out all-round suppression and discord against An Yi and his clique economically.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not wield the big stick of money, and the An Yi clique and its allies were all wealthy people with a net worth of tens of millions, and only a few hundred thousand million could not be shaken at all, and only by standing on the plane of the legitimate ruler and implementing a coercive crackdown policy in the name of the government and even the interests of the state, could it play a substantive role.

The cautious Chiang Kai-shek did not make any noise before the formal implementation of the series of plans, and did not even let any of the generals in the army know, because An Yi's clear personality of love and hatred and generous and generous style made him have many friends in the upper echelons of the army, especially in the Whampoa family, and only a very small number of people were offended, and they were offended in an open and honest manner, so that political opponents and opponents could not openly slander him.

Again, Chiang Kai-shek used a very low-key and very natural and calm way to attack the An Yi group one by one, a very important reason:

At this stage, in this very sensitive period when there are hidden dangers of rebellion everywhere, he still can't openly anger An Yi, who has won countless popularity and made great achievements, so he has to choose a relatively low-key way, and also minimize the impact of the implementation of a series of measures, which not only makes An Yi have a hard time, but also plays a role in shocking An Yi's economic partners and urging them to wake up.

Chiang Kai-shek's determination has been made, and the rest of the things will naturally be handled by Yang Yongtai, who has long been prepared, and based on the following series of events related to the security of the party and the country, the national economy and the people's livelihood, he has efficiently formulated a series of combined countermeasures.

On 15 June, Tian Songyao and Yang Sen, who had been defeated and retreated by the Red Army led by Zhang Guotao and Xu Xiangqian in northern Sichuan, and had lost most of their losses, finally put down their scarred face and sent a telegram appealing to the central government and Chairman Chiang for prompt assistance; the Red Army not only beat Tian Songyao to the other side of the Jialing River and beat Yang Sen to the point of losing his armor, but also occupied most of the six counties, including Guangyuan, Nanjiang, Tongjiang, and Wanyuan, and the Red Army strength rapidly increased to more than 38,000 people. He also followed Tian Songyao and Yang Sen to call Chiang Kai-shek to complain about his grievances and ask for military and material assistance as soon as possible.

On 17 June, the warlords Chen Jitang and Li Zongren of Guangzhou, Hu Hanmin, who had retired to Hong Kong, and Jiang Guangding, who was based in Fujian, sent telegrams to the whole country questioning the legality of the $50 million "cotton and wheat loan" signed between Finance Minister Soong Ziwen and the US Government during his visit to the United States, and strongly demanded that the central government give a reasonable explanation and make public the contents of the loan agreement and the entire Sino-Japanese Tanggu agreement.

Immediately afterwards, left-wing newspapers and social organizations deeply influenced by the ideology launched a large-scale denunciation that swept across the north and south of the Yangtze River, attacking the Nanjing government and governments at all levels in various provinces for forcible expropriation, corruption, and exposing the collusion between the big warlords and big compradors and imperialism, evading taxes and reselling mineral resources belonging to the entire Chinese people, and aiding and abetting abuse, importing a large number of Japanese goods, attacking national industries, and launching frenzied plundering of the Chinese people. For a time, all kinds of *** hustle and bustle, all kinds of rumors were boiling, which greatly damaged the prestige of the Chiang Kai-shek government, which had been overwhelmed by internal and external wars, and had to jump out to explain and respond.

On June 18, Yang Xingfo, director general of the Academia Sinica and executive member of the Civil Rights Protection League, who maintained friendly relations with the Yangtze River, was assassinated in Shanghai, instantly pushing the controversy that swept along the Yangtze River to the first place, forming a national crisis of trust and a big debate.

On 22 June, the flood of the Yangtze River flooded more than 10 counties and towns along the lower reaches of the east of Hukou, and only Jiujiang and Hukou, which had made preparations for flood control in advance, suffered minor losses, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was inspecting the flood control work along the river, once again became the target of criticism from the leftists. In order to reflect Chiang Kai-shek's incompetence and disregard for the life and death of the people, he was only keen on the civil war of the people.

On 24 June, newspapers throughout the country carried an important piece of news: After visiting Chongqing to inspect the work of the British Consulate, British Minister Lam Pusheng was invited by An Yi, director of the Sichuan-Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Pacification Office, to pay a two-day visit to Syria and Luzhou in southern Sichuan from this day, and to visit more than 300 British engineers and technicians and religious figures working in various parts of southern Sichuan.

As soon as the news was announced, An Yi quickly became the focus of media reports, and also attracted strong attention from European and American countries.

The Left Alliance once again changed the direction of its struggle, and An Yi, a big warlord and big capitalist, suddenly had more big hats such as "admiring foreigners", "connecting with foreign countries", "colluding with imperialism to sell the people's wealth", and so on.

Yang Yongtai is waiting for this opportunity, waiting for this entry point.

On 25 June, four 3,000-ton cargo ships of the Jiangnan Yangtze River Shipping Company loaded with export materials were seized by a battalion of the State Customs and the Ministry of Finance's Tax Police Corps in the Yangtze River region for tax evasion.

The news was quickly and conspicuously reported by the "Republic of China Daily" and the "Ta Kung Pao" controlled by the Department of Political Science, which immediately aroused a strong reaction from the whole of China, and the mouthpieces of the left-wing coalition immediately exaggerated it.

Chiang Kai-shek's spirits perked up, he stood up and asked solemnly: "Zu Yan, is Liu Kun still with you?" ”

"Yes, he is always waiting for the commission's call." Chen Lifu replied calmly.

Chiang Kai-shek was quite surprised, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good, very good!" After the opening ceremony, I want to meet Liu Kun...... His ability to carry out his work under extremely difficult circumstances is a testament to his unflinching loyalty to the party-state...... Snow and ice? ”

"Here!" Deng Wenyi hurriedly stepped forward.

"You go and inform General Ci Xiu, the chief instructor, General Geng Guang, and the chief instructor General Ji Nan, who hurried back from Syria to appoint me as the head of the Lushan Training Regiment...... By the way, there are also Jiang Mingsan and Gu Mosan, let them come to me immediately, have breakfast together, and talk while eating. ”

"Yes!"
