Chapter 1166 Uninvited Guest (1)

The day after Yang Yongtai's assassination, the Japanese army in North China suddenly carried out a large-scale exercise in Lugou Bridge, Changxindian, Junliangcheng, Dazhigu, Tongzhou and other places on the outskirts of Beiping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Song Zheyuan's reaction, An Yi was very pleased, at least from the perspective of actual actions, the 29th Army was not willing to be a traitor and completely surrendered to *** people, and still maintained his own *** nature in the military and ***, and was still able to pick up a knife and gun at the critical juncture of life and death decisions, which made An Yi appreciate more than any rhetoric.

However, despite the full mobilization militarily, the North China government led by Song Zheyuan still opened the door to the Japanese request. It was against this background that Koichi Ishikawa, the new deputy chief of staff of the North China Garrison Army, accompanied by the director of the Hebei Provincial Foreign Liaison Office and other officials, arrived at the gate of the headquarters of the 17 th Army in Baoding in a car with a license plate from the Pingjin Garrison Headquarters.

Seeing the car approaching, the black and white obstacle crossbar in front of the gate did not have the slightest intention of rising, and the director of the major general of the Hebei Provincial Government who was traveling with him did not have the slightest arrogance and arrogance on his own territory, so he hurriedly sorted out his military hat and got out of the carriage, walked to the gate, and negotiated with the officer on duty.

The dark-faced and sturdy captain on duty looked coldly into the car, and after seeing clearly Koichi Ishikawa and Adjutant Shaozuo in the uniform of the Japanese major general, he didn't explain a word, and walked directly to the duty room, leaving the embarrassed and annoyed director of the Hebei Provincial Government Major General in place.

As soon as Ishikawa Hiroshi thought of the officers and soldiers who could be seen everywhere in the car from Tianjin, and then looked at the guards of the Anjia Army who were standing majestically at the gate of the 17th Army camp with loaded guns and live ammunition, and their fingers had never left the bolt of the new submachine gun, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, feeling that he would not get An Yi's good face if he came this time, and it was very likely that he would not even have the opportunity to meet.

Koichi Ishikawa asked the diplomatic officials of the Hebei Provincial Government who were sitting beside him: "Wang Jun, it seems that your relationship with An Jiajun is not very harmonious!" ”

Wang Tonglin, a short and fat foreign affairs commissioner who is about 40 years old, hurriedly explained:

"General Gaojian, if it weren't for Chairman Song Zheyuan's prior consent from General An today, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get to the gate of the camp of the 17th Army Headquarters. There are many specific reasons for this, the most important of which is that the ministry has been stationed here for nearly four years, and has established a certain relationship with the local people, industrial and commercial circles, and intellectual circles, and has won the heartfelt support and love of the local people through various means, and has faintly become the local overlord, with relatively high prestige and decision-making power.

"And our provincial government has just moved from Tianjin, it is estimated that it is squeezing their territory, and there have been many relatively large contradictions on the issue of taxation, so far our provincial government has still not been able to collect taxes in the central and southern Hebei regions, so the two sides have been in constant disputes, and the relationship has not been improved."

"Oh? The An Jiajun, who has always been famous at home and abroad for its 'model battalion spirit', has acted recklessly in such a way in disregard of the laws of the state and the government? ”

Koichi Ishikawa was genuinely surprised, not deliberately instigated. In his impression, An Jiajun has never competed with the government and the people for profit, on the contrary, he will pay his own money to build roads, see a doctor and even participate in production for the people and the government stationed in the defense area.

Wang Tonglin didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't truthfully tell the 17th Army that the taxes received were actually all used on the local people, right?

But Wang Tonglin didn't dare to spread rumors and slander An Jiajun, otherwise he would probably not be able to eat and walk around, so he couldn't wait for a moment, and could only smile apologetically:

"I'm just an official in charge of diplomacy and foreign liaison, and I'm not very clear about the specific issues, hehe! Please forgive me, General! ”

Ishikawa Koichi seemed to think of something, smiled slightly, and did not continue to embarrass Wang Tonglin, when he saw a square, wide and solid military open-top off-road vehicle coming, he immediately turned his energy to the people in the car.

The off-road vehicle slowly stopped in front of the camp gate, and two officers wearing An Jiajun training uniforms jumped out of the car, saluted each other with the major generals and officials of the Hebei Provincial Government, and talked in a low voice for a while.

Hiroshi Ishikawa's eyes lit up in the car, and he recognized at a glance that the young officer who was striding behind the major general was none other than Li Jun, his disciple when he was teaching at the Central Military Academy in Nanjing.

Koichi Ishikawa, who felt something and had a straightforward personality, was no longer reserved, pulled the car door and got out, leading the adjutant to stride forward, and the two sides stood at the same time at a distance of about three meters, saluting each other, and speaking in a very polite manner, without the strong hostility and embarrassing scenes that the Hebei provincial government officials feared.

Ishikawa Koichi said respectfully, "General Huang has worked hard", took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Huang Yingwu, director of the *** Department of the 17th Army, turned to Li Jun, who had matured with a smile on his face, and laughed in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown taller and stronger, it seems that you are still training people in the military camp!" ”

"Thank you, instructor, for the compliment! Li Jun was very happy to see the instructor again. ”

Li Jun grabbed Koichi Ishikawa's outstretched hand, shook it gently, let go of his hand and took a big step back, looking at Huang Yingwu respectfully.

Huang Yingwu politely made a gesture of please: "General, please board the car, Commander An has already been waiting in the headquarters meeting room to make tea." Since Commander An and Commander Hu were presiding over a military meeting at this time, they were unable to greet them, so please bear with me. In addition, the two troop carriers that followed the general's car could only drive into the parking lot on the left side of the camp gate, and our political workers would make proper arrangements. ”

"The general is gracious, please!"

Ishikawa Koi saluted, turned around and went back to the car and got in, and the two stunned officials of the Hebei Provincial Government hurriedly followed into the car and ordered the driver to follow behind the "big leopard" in front.

Koichi Ishikawa asked with interest, "Why is it called 'Big Leopard'?"

The major general sitting in front hurriedly turned his head and explained carefully: "This is the popular name of the generals in the army, the car in front is the military off-road vehicle produced by the Anjiajun Automobile Factory, and the formal name is actually the 'Cheetah III military off-road vehicle', because this kind of car has excellent performance, extremely fast speed, very strong shape, and can walk almost any road, so everyone likes to call this kind of car 'big leopard'." In addition, there is a kind of 'Cheetah II military off-road vehicle' with a smaller appearance, which is like to be called 'Little Leopard' in the army, and it is also a very suitable car for military use.

"It's a pity, we don't have any of them in the 29th Army, and I can't get a number to buy them several times, I heard that An Jiajun's automobile factory is working day and night, and it can't meet the needs of the Central Army's departments, plus there are some contradictions between us and An Jiajun, even if we apply, we may not get our turn, so we can only give up and use American cars and French cars instead, but they are not as good as this kind of car produced by An Jiajun Automobile Factory."

Koichi Ishikawa let out an "um" and nodded and stopped talking. He knows that An Jiajun has a lot of military factories in the southwest, and two years ago he was able to assemble aircraft, modify military trucks and produce civilian cars, and now it is normal to be able to produce military off-road vehicles, and the military has always attached great importance to this, but An Yi's choice of production base is far away in the hinterland of southwest China, and there is no need to go through China's coastal areas to obtain advanced technology equipment and parts from Europe and the United States. Gradually, it grew stronger.

A few minutes later, the two cars drove to the gate of the headquarters and stopped, and An Yi had already led Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, Shen Fengdao and other generals to wait on the steps.

Seeing Koichi Ishikawa get out of the carriage, An Yi laughed, strode up, grabbed Koichi Ishikawa's hand, and greeted warmly: "Ishikawa-kun, I really didn't expect us to have a chance to meet, God is really a trick!" Ha ha...... Ishikawa-kun, I heard that you were in danger in the southern suburbs of Chengde, I was very worried about this, I wanted to visit you and was afraid that I would not come back, I was sad for a long time, and then I heard that you returned to China to recuperate, I was sad for a while, and today I saw that you were safe and sound, and I was finally relieved, relieved, haha! ”

Ishikawa Hiroshi was stunned for a moment, the adjutant behind him who was holding a delicate long wooden box and the two diplomatic officials of the Hebei Provincial Government were extremely surprised, but they didn't expect An Yi, who hated *** and hated the sky, to have such a deep friendship with Ishikawa Koichi.

Koichi Ishikawa, who came back to the past, couldn't hear the irony contained in An Yi's words, shook his head and smiled at the moment, didn't care, clasped An Yi's calloused hand, and showed a sincere smile:

"Thank you very much, Ishikawa will always remember Anjun's deep friendship for Anjun!"

An Yi laughed heartily again: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Haha, come, please come in, I haven't seen you for a few years, let's talk well, and I'll slowly introduce Ishikawa-kun after sitting down...... Who's that? Ying Wu, you go and work hard, accompany our two parents to the side hall for tea, take a short rest, and attend the reception banquet together, haha! Ishikawa-kun please! ”

"Anjun, please!"

Koichi Ishikawa and An Yi entered hand in hand, Ishikawa's adjutant followed closely with a long box in his hand, and Hu Jialin and others also followed.

Huang Yingwu laughed, came to the two Hebei Provincial Government officials who were much snubbed, and invited the two to the side hall for tea in pure Baoding dialect.

The guests and hosts entered the simple living room to introduce each other, and the orderly soldiers had prepared fragrant tea and slowly retreated. Koichi Ishikawa whispered a few words with the familiar Shen Fengdao, came to the sofa opposite An Yi and sat down, took the fragrant tea sent by An Yi, thanked him politely, took a sip, and moved his eyebrows slightly:

"Good tea! What a tea! The fragrant tea served by An Jun is really extraordinary, which reminds me of the unforgettable scene of drinking tea and talking with An Jun on those rainy nights in Nanjing...... Li Jun, I didn't expect you to be in the 17th Army, what position do you hold now? ”

Li Jun stood up politely and said respectfully: "Instructor Hui, Li Jun is now serving as the deputy of the third regiment of the *** division and *** brigade." ”

Koichi Ishikawa immediately asked in Japanese, "Li Jun must have made a lot of achievements, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be promoted so quickly, right?" ”

Li Jun replied in Japanese with a slight Tokyo accent: "Yes!" Thanks to the instructor's training, Li Jun will never forget Instructor Ishikawa's Japanese enlightenment education, and will never forget the instructor's encouragement and teachings to Li Jun before leaving. ”

Koichi Ishikawa was satisfied, and nodded again and again: "Very good!" You work very hard, you speak Japanese very purely, even when you go to a geisha house in Tokyo, the ladies will not think that you are Chinese. ”

Li Jun smiled humbly: "Thank you, instructor, I hope there will be that day." ”

"Yes, I believe, please sit down, Li Jun, you're welcome." Koichi Ishikawa gracefully stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

An Yi smiled: "Ishikawa-kun, look at you like this, as if you are the master here, this is not good." ”

Koichi Ishikawa laughed when he heard this, stood up and bowed apologetically, turned around and took the long wooden box from the adjutant's hand, and gently placed his hands on the coffee table:

"Anjun, you are still so humorous and pleasant! This is a small gift I brought from Tokyo, and it is also a gift from our Ishikawa family to our most honored friend. ”

Everyone looked at the exquisitely carved chrysanthemum pattern on the rosewood gift box, and immediately realized that this "little gift" was not ordinary precious.

When guessing what kind of item it was, Koichi Ishikawa took out a white handkerchief, gently wiped his hands, and solemnly pressed the two silver round buckles on the front of the long box, only to hear a pleasant sound of "click", the long box slowly opened under the gentle push of Ishikawa Koichi's fingertips, and the two simple styles and the handle of the *** katana inlaid with chrysanthemum patterns were displayed on the bright yellow satin, and the whole space seemed to be dark, only a pair of katanas in the long box were exuding a charming luster.
