Chiang Kai-shek received two telegrams, his head was bigger, and the performance of the encirclement and suppression of various units under his command in the past few days was lackluster, but he was hit by the Red Army and was made dizzy, the 52nd Division of Li Ming's 18th Army, the main force of the Central Army, was wiped out seven days ago, and the head of the division commander Li Ming was cut off, and only two days later, the 59th Division of the 18th Army suffered heavy losses, the division commander Chen Shiji was captured, the two brigade commanders Yang Deliang and Fang Jing were killed in battle, and only more than 200 remnants of the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the division escaped. The morale of the divisions of the Central Army plummeted, making Chiang Kai-shek anxious and at a loss. What is even worse is that the fall of Chengde caused a national shock and internal and external consternation, and the Kuomintang government encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Yang Yongtai, a confidant and strategist, sat quietly on the sidelines, taking in Chiang Kai-shek's worries and hesitations. Since Chen Cheng's defeat, Chiang Kai-shek, who was helpless, relied more heavily on Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui, the two leaders of the political science department, especially Yang Yongtai, almost to the point of obeying his words.
After Chiang Kai-shek received the telegrams from He Yingqin and An Yi, he invited Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui to discuss how to solve these serious problems, all of which had an important impact on the current situation in North China.
Chiang Kai-shek handed over the two telegrams to Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui, walked slowly to the window, and gazed a little melancholy at the lake scenery with rippling blue waves and green willow sprouts.
Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui looked at each other after reading the telegram, silently pondering, feeling very tricky in their hearts, and it was difficult to balance.
An Yi, who has been called a national hero and a pioneer of resistance against Japan, has been called a national hero by national newspapers, and the prestige of An Yi has increased dramatically, and the two of them also sincerely admire An Yi's military talent and An Jiajun's outstanding military exploits, but they also know that An Yi, who has always taken a tough stance on Japan, will never compromise with Japan, and He Yingqin was ordered to rush to Beiping in the face of danger, that is, he was secretly ordered by the central government and Chairman Chiang to try to resolve the crisis through peace talks. Not to mention that now in the civil war, when the Red Army was exhausted and exhausted.
But if you want to reach peace talks, An Yi's position has become the most important factor, and now An Yi not only represents him personally, but also represents the most elite and powerful troops in the whole army, representing a huge group alliance dominated by An Jiajun and supplemented by a number of chaebols, and now it represents the firm determination of the whole China to hate the enemy and resist the war to the end. It is very likely that the entire central government, including Chiang Kai-shek, will not be able to step down at that time.
From the perspective of the true feelings in his heart, Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui, who has always maintained a harmonious relationship with An Yi, did not classify An Yi into the CC department of his political enemies, but admired An Yi's military talent and talent in the field of industry and commerce, but in the sea of wind and waves, the Department of Political Science has no choice for its own interests, and for a long time, although they have compassion for suppressing the growth of An Yi Group, they still do not hesitate to seize all opportunities to do it, in order to grow and develop themselves.
The Department of Political Science is a very shrewd and pragmatic civilian-bureaucratic group that adheres to its own beliefs and adheres to its own ideals, just as the CC Department and the An Yi Group also have their own firm beliefs and lofty ideals.
He Yingqin, who has the experience of studying in Japan, has very complicated feelings for Japan, and out of admiration and admiration for Japan's military and modernization process, it is not an exaggeration to say that He Yingqin is a pro-Japanese faction, and in addition, He Yingqin has maintained contact with those former instructors and commanders in the Japanese military circles for many years, and has a good personal relationship, and he Yingqin was sent to Beiping to take over the mess thrown by Zhang Xueliang, which was the unanimous decision of Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Yongtai, Xiong Shihui, and others after repeated weighing. The mistake was that the fall of Chengde was too sudden, too shocking, and too infuriating, so in a hurry, he forgot to consider the feelings of An Yi and his soldiers of An Jiajun.
In the past few months, An Jiajun has been indomitable and fearless, daring to take the initiative in the face of the violent sun, fighting with all his might, and achieving one after another great victories that shocked China and foreign countries, inspiring tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, inspiring the hearts of the people, and boosting morale, and has become the mainstay in the hearts of the whole people, and the huge price paid by An Yi and his soldiers is incomparable, even the entire central government cannot compare, therefore, if An Yi cannot be persuaded to support the central government and Chiang Kai-shek's decision-making, the terrible consequences are really unimaginable.
Yang Yongtai even thought that Feng Yuxiang and others would see this good opportunity and secretly send people to rebel against An Yi, thinking that the European and American countries that maintained good relations with An Yi and had large trade contacts would take this opportunity to support An Yi as their agents...... It can be said that Yang Yongtai, who thinks the farthest and thinks the most carefully, knows Chiang Kai-shek best, and he also knows that his worries are also Chiang Kai-shek's deepest worries, and where he Yang Yongtai can imagine, Chiang Kai-shek, who has strong political skills and political acumen, can also imagine, if Chiang Kai-shek can't think of it, it is only temporarily unthinkable, because Chiang Kai-shek is "in the Lushan Mountain" and cannot overcome the short-term confusion for a while.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Yongtai saw that Chiang Kai-shek's tall and thin figure was still standing in front of the window, and Xiong Shihui beside him was still thinking hard about when he would be able to come up with his opinion, so he had to abandon his usual reserve and take the initiative to speak:
"The commissioner, in his office, believes that the commissioner should support General An Yi's request, immediately convene an emergency meeting of the Central Committee, and issue a national wanted warrant for Tang Yulin, the sinner of the country and the nation, in the dual name of the central government and the Central Military Commission."
"Wanted?"
Chiang Kai-shek turned around abruptly, stared at Yang Yongtai's eyes, and in less than three seconds, immediately understood the true meaning of Yang Yongtai's words.
Chiang Kai-shek returned to Yang Yongtai and sat down opposite the two, sighed, and said sadly: "I originally wanted to wait for Han Qing to officially announce his departure the day after tomorrow before issuing an arrest warrant for Tang Yulin and others, otherwise Han Qing's face will be even more ugly, and judging from An Yi's telegram, he has already made arrangements in advance, as long as an order is given, no one can stop An Yi's actions, even including Han Qing and those generals of the Northeast Army who are already panicking and protecting themselves." You all know the bad temper of that boy, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal. ”
"Isn't it? How to say that Tang Yulin is also a hero who has been in the north for half his life, even if the tiger falls in Pingyang, he will have his own methods and channels for retiring safely. As the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, although General An is brave and good at fighting and full of strategy, but if he wants to capture an old fox like Tang Yulin, I am afraid it is not so easy. Yang Yongtai smiled and shook his head.
Xiong Shihui hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Chang Qing must not be careless, junior brother said so, if General An is angry and don't live his mouth, does Brother Chang Qing think Tang Yulin can escape?" Don't forget that Yasuo Yoshino, one of the three leaders of the Japanese army's highest intelligence agency in China, is still imprisoned in the military prison that never sees the light of day in our old Nanchang. The younger brother believes that even if Tang Yulin escapes overseas, as long as General An is determined to kill him, he will eventually die, unless he surrenders to the Japanese and runs to Japan to survive. ”
Yang Yongtai was suddenly startled, suddenly realized and patted his head, and smiled: "Forgetful, forgetful!" The post was negligent. ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "It is necessary to severely punish the scum Tang Yulin, there is no room for negotiation at this point, otherwise how can we calm the righteous indignation of the people?" How can the law be promulgated and military discipline strictly enforced? However, this matter must be done to perfection in order to achieve the best results. That's why I'm so worried. ”
Yang Yongtai nodded heavily: "Commission, it seems that you have to go in person, let the whole ** people and Chinese and foreign countries see the determination of the commission, and it can also appease General An well and resolve the contradiction between General An and Brother Jing." Moreover, the Independent Division, the 17th Division, the 44th Division, and the soldiers of Yang Jiuxiao's Department who came back from Liaoxi have brilliant combat exploits, which can be called a model for the whole army and the backbone of the nation. ”
"That's all, especially the soldiers who fought bloody battles and made great achievements, I am going to meet them......" Chiang Kai-shek sighed again.
Xiong Shihui thought for a while and added: "Commission, if possible, let Mrs. organize a condolence group again, just go to the Baoding Field Hospital, it is best to invite General An's wife, Miss Feng Jieyun, to also go, General An is working day and night on the front line, and it is time for him to meet his newlywed wife who has been married for less than half a year." ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded frequently: "Good idea, good idea!" Tomorrow we will have a meeting to arrange the work of suppressing bandits, and I will personally go to the north. ”
Xiong Shihui stood up and struck while the iron was hot: "Commission, didn't Finance Minister Song raise funds in Shanghai?" With Finance Minister Song's tough attitude towards Japan, as well as his strong support and praise for An Yi's department, Finance Minister Song can be allowed to make some necessary speeches at the press conference, even if it is a kind of side assistance for the president to inspect the front line. Peace talks are the goal, but at this critical time, we must maintain a leading posture so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among the Chinese people. ”
"Tianyi (Xiong Shihui) This is exactly what I want, just do it, and I'll call Ziwen later." Chiang Kai-shek stood up, much more relaxed.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
Deng Wenyi walked in quickly, and presented the document with both hands: "Senior Brother An is in a hurry." ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly to Yang Yongtai and Xiong Shihui, who were resigning, and took the folder with a frown: "What grievances does An Yi have again...... Audacious...... Audacious ......"
Deng Wenyi hurriedly lowered his head: "Principal, maybe it's really the ...... that Dong Futing was killed when he tried to escape from prison."
Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he threw the folder to the ground: "I'm not angry about this, but because he is too bold!" Niang Xipi! Regardless of how big the impact is, he An Yi dared to shoot a major general under the name of the Central Military Commission, first cut it and then play, is this worth it? Who gave him this right? What if the Northeast Army mutinied at this critical juncture? Yes?! What to do? Niang Xi Pi ......"
Deng Wenyi was so frightened that she took two steps back, and when she saw Chiang Kai-shek trembling with anger, she took a half step forward: "The principal is angry!" If it weren't for Dong Futing fleeing without a fight, causing Ling Yuan and Pingquan to fall one after another in the blink of an eye, Senior Brother An would have been able to better fight the Japanese invaders, General Gu Changfeng and General Yang Jiuxiao would not have been affected, and the nearly 5,000 elites would not have hated the battlefield......"
Chiang Kai-shek was furious: "Shut up! When will you be able to look at the big picture? Do you have a sense of the big picture and the political ability that satisfies me? You...... Several of you are the same, you all say good things for An Yi, and you are all shielding him! No matter how heavy it is, no matter how heavy it is! Niang Xipi! Don't you see that An Yi is using extremely bad methods to force me to issue an arrest warrant? Niang Xi Pi ...... Immediately telegraph to An Yi, if he dares to kill someone again, I will immediately engage in military justice against him! ”
