Chapter 407 Momentum and Results

At dawn the next day, Ye Kaixin, who was lying on the comfortable bed of the headquarters, was awakened by the loud trumpets and dense footsteps, he rubbed his sore eyes, saw the situation in the room clearly, and then remembered where he was, and quickly got up from the bed, adjutant Ye Daolin immediately turned on the incandescent lamp, brought a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and Tan Chongshan, the chief of the guard, brought a complete set of brand-new general's official uniforms presented by An Yi.

After washing up and dressing, Ye Kaixin walked to the mirror next to the bed to tidy up the style and put on a big cap, raised his wrist and looked at the watch, and praised An Yi's thoughtfulness and carefulness in a low voice, and asked in a low voice while tidying up his clothes: "Brother Independent has already started practicing so early?" ”

"At 5:30 a.m., the officers and men of all units of the Independent Division had already begun their morning drills, and the three main regiments had left the barracks in full gear with battalions as units, and they had not yet returned. At about 6:10 a.m., his subordinates found that more than 1,000 officers and men had entered the barracks soaked and exhausted, and hurriedly asked Chen Mian, deputy chief of the guard section on duty at the division headquarters, who told his subordinates that it was a brother from the teaching regiment who had left the camp at 11 o'clock last night to carry out special night training and had now returned.

The subordinates were very surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly asked what were the other training subjects of the teaching group? Do you often do this for night training? Brother Chen Mian said apologetically that he was not very clear about the specific training items, but he told his subordinates that this was normal, no matter how windy or rainy, each main regiment would conduct fully armed night special training twice a week, not to mention the more demanding teaching regiment.

Although they didn't say anything, their subordinates could see that they were very disappointed in the physical fitness and military quality of our officers and soldiers, and later their subordinates were shocked to see their five-kilometer fully armed cross-country training demonstration followed by shooting, but Deng Bin said disapprovingly that this kind of training is normal in the independent division, and even ordinary soldiers can easily complete it, which shows that the training intensity and quality of the independent division are far beyond that of ordinary troops. Tan Chongshan reported with admiration.

Ye Kaixin nodded: "Last night, the officers above the company level of the independent division went out to drink with all the officers and men of our division, and everyone drank happily and returned happy. However, most of our brothers have not yet woken up, but they are completely unaffected and are still training intensively, which is a shame for us! Let's go, go to the right camp to meet An Xian's nephew and his generals, and discuss the next training guidance. It's time to practice hard, I don't want to lose face in the next Northern Expedition. ”

"The military seat, except for the staff officers on duty, the commanders of their division headquarters all went out of the camp for training with the officers and soldiers of each regiment, and only the artillery regiment and a recruit battalion of the third regiment were exercising in the morning." Tan Chongshan smiled embarrassedly.

Ye Kaixin was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand self-deprecatingly: "Even so, we have to go and see, even if it is to see their recruit training." ”

At seven o'clock in the morning, the regiments that went out for training returned one after another, and An Yi, who was wearing camouflage combat uniforms and carrying rifles like soldiers, entered the camp in the dust, and saw Ye Kaixin and his generals gathered around the playground to watch the basic training of the artillery regiment, and thousands of brothers of the 44th Army were still surrounded by the playground.

After greeting Ye Kaixin and division commanders Zou Zhenpeng, Jiang Hoou and others, An Yi returned to the backyard of the division headquarters to take a shower and change into gray generals' uniforms, and rushed to have breakfast with Ye Kaixin and others. After eating, he briefly explained a few words to Hu Jialin, Cheng Guang and Huang Yingwu, and then took Ye Kaixin to Nanjing City to meet Zhu Peide and others.

From 9 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Kaixin and Zhu Peide, Yu Feipeng, Dai Jitao, Shao Lizi, Chen Guofu and others met separately, everyone was very enthusiastic and respectful of Ye Kaixin, who was the former commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army, and Yu Feipeng, director of the military station and minister of munitions, also handed Ye Kaixin a list of weapons and equipment signed by Commander-in-Chief Jiang before leaving, and told him that the weapons and ammunition on the list and this month's military salary will be distributed today and tomorrow, and that the Pukou military station will soon send all the equipment and military salaries to the Liuhe military camp. So that the officers and men of the 44th Army will be ready as soon as possible to meet the coming proofreading and inspection.

After returning to the ** military camp for lunch, An Yi quickly called his generals and colonels for a brief meeting.

At Ye Kaixin's request, An Yi ordered the first battalion of the teaching regiment to assist the friendly troops in conducting a half-month intensive training, and instructed the logistics quartermaster section to make every effort to help the friendly troops improve the logistics support system and solve the temporary difficulties.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu took He Jing and his assistant Liu Hong, who had arrived in a hurry, from the Xiaguan Railway Station to the liaison office, washed up a little, and went to Gong Qian's house next door with An Yi to dine together.

Mother Wu was very happy to see that the young men were full of vitality and youth, and she was so busy that she didn't want to sit down, and a pair of skillful hands served a plate of delicious dishes from time to time.

He Jing briefly finished talking about the interview with his assistant Liu Hong in the disaster area in northern Lubei, and looked at An Yi very sadly:

“…… I have only heard of cannibalism before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes in Shandong this time, Yu Yi (Liu Hongzi) and the two young reporters of "Declaration" vomited on the spot, and then their eyes were teary and speechless, if no one lends a helping hand, the land of Lubei, which has become a country of Ze, will be starving all over the wilderness, the epidemic is raging, and the consequences are unimaginable! ”

"Alas, this is mostly the case after every cataclysm, and I can imagine that tragic situation, which is not much better than a battlefield strewn with corpses."

An Yi sighed: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Uncle Dao, Lao Zhou and the four directors of Jiangnan Group, the chairman and vice president of Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce and the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce will arrive, Zhu Yi's predecessors have agreed to accept refugees and took the initiative to donate 200,000 yuan, I donated 1.5 million yuan in the name of the Education Foundation under my name, it is estimated that Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce, Nanchang Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan Group can also donate 1.2 million to 1.5 million, our Nanchang Hospital has begun to prepare to send a 100-person medical team, led by Professor Cruze, vice presidentSeven cargo ships of the water transport company are preparing to go to northern Lubei, and a few more foreign cargo ships are chartered, and it is planned to transport back 10,000 or 20,000 victims at a time.

Tonight, the two of you should think carefully about how to get in touch with the International Red Cross Society in Shanghai as soon as possible, how to hold a press conference to announce the news so as to win more non-governmental organizations and people to participate in the disaster relief, and how to win the support of European and American embassies and consulates in China. ”

"The three departments of the Central Party Department and the Central Government have already made a decision in the afternoon special discussion, as long as the Jiangnan Group and the Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce take the lead, we will follow and launch a huge national mobilization, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the civil affairs department will send officials to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other major cities to vigorously publicize and launch fund-raising activities and meet with envoys from various countries to make the greatest efforts to help the victims." Gong Qian added.

He Jing and Liu Hong were very excited, and Liu Hong, who was young and elegant and full of scholarly temperament, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to An Yi and Gong Qian, his eyes full of tears of gratitude: "On behalf of the people in the disaster area, the little brother would like to thank the general and Director Gong!" Thank you ......."

An Yi hurriedly motioned for him to sit down: "Brother Yuyi, your hometown is not from Shandong, right?" What did you study? ”

"My younger brother's hometown is in Yangzhou, and he graduated from Princeton University in the United States, majoring in philosophy."

Liu Hong realized the meaning of An Yi's words after answering, smiled slightly and asked in a low voice: "The general is not from Shandong, he studied the profession of killing, but why is the general so kind and fraternal?" ”

"Huh! Let's eat, besides, my head is about to get bigger, you two haven't picked up your rice bowl since you sat down, no matter how anxious you are, no matter how worried you are about the people in the disaster area, you have to fill your stomachs, let's eat, after eating, go to your newspaper branch at the corner of the street to take a hot bath and sleep, and tomorrow you will get up and deal with everything with full energy. An Yi persuaded kindly.

He Jing shook his head with a serious face: "No! After dinner, we will go to the newspaper branch to send a telegram to our colleagues in the press circles in various localities, asking them to rush to Nanjing tomorrow afternoon to attend this exciting news conference.

This is an unprecedented event since the Republic of China, and it is of great significance, as long as it is a news organization with a certain degree of humanistic care and political sense, no one will miss it.

I would also like to arrange for gentlemen from the Jiangnan Group, the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, and the Lao Nanchang Chamber of Commerce to meet and discuss with friends in the press, and strive for all newspapers and magazines to publish this important news the day after tomorrow, so as to arouse the sympathy of the Chinese people and the strong support of organizations from all walks of life. ”

"I agree, I will follow the whole process and report on the entire disaster relief process." Liu Hong said excitedly.

An Yi said helplessly: "Okay, what should you do, you make your own decisions, Lao Zhou and Kreuzer will set up a disaster relief leading group, and I will send you a few guards to protect the whole process." ”

"Look, stop again, let's talk about it after dinner, the food is cold, and I won't have to worry about Mother Wu if I don't move the chopsticks for a while." Gong Qian said politely.

He Jing and the two looked at each other and felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately picked up the bowl and ate it, Wu Ma on the side saw this, and told her to eat slowly without worrying, who knew that He Jing and Liu Hong quickly stood up after a bowl of rice, politely thanked Wu Ma and left in a hurry.

An Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, Gong Qian sent He Jing and the others out of the door, returned to An Yi and sat down, and discussed the next plan while eating.

It was rare for the two to get together for a meal, but they discussed disaster relief matters as much as possible, Wu's mother sighed slightly in her eyes, and kept picking up vegetables for An Yi, saying for a while that An Yi had lost weight, and then asking An Yi how the old injuries were doing? moved An Yi so much that he couldn't speak.

After the meal, An Yi and Gong Qian made tea, but before they could take a sip, He Jing and Liu Hong came together again, unceremoniously pulled An Yi away, and returned to the liaison office next door to discuss in detail the plan, propaganda orientation, political implication and purpose of the entire disaster relief operation, and the conversation was one night.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, a press conference organized by the Jiangnan Group, the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, and the Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, and co-organized by the "Oriental News Service" was held in the hall on the first floor of the Yangtze Hotel.

Zhou Chongan, general manager of Jiangnan Group, presided over the meeting, when the representative of the board of directors of Jiangnan Group announced a donation of 1 million, the president of Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce announced a donation of 500,000 yuan, the president of Nanchang Chamber of Commerce announced a donation of 500,000 yuan, and General Zhu Peide donated 200,000 yuan in his personal name, the audience thundered applause, which lasted for a long time, and the flashes of dozens of cameras flashed non-stop.

Zhou Chongan waited for the applause to stop for a while, and announced loudly into the microphone: Entrusted by General An Yi, I solemnly announce that the "An Yi Education Foundation" will donate 1.5 million yuan at one time!

As soon as the words fell, the audience exclaimed, and then applause was like a tide, dozens of Lu business representatives hugged together and wept silently, and dozens of student representatives who were so excited actually shouted the slogans "Long live General An" and "Long live the model battalion."

The major news that the disaster-stricken areas in northern Lubei had received a huge amount of 3.7 million yuan in disaster relief aid and that Nanchang, Jiangxi Province was responsible for accepting the victims of the disaster, spread all over the country overnight, causing tremendous repercussions and praises from all walks of life and countless kind-hearted people across the country. Large-scale fund-raising activities launched by the central government in major cities in Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou followed.

In just seven days, the first batch of more than 18,000 homeless old and weak women and children in the disaster area were safely sent to Nanchang, and received the warm reception and selfless help of people from all walks of life. The Ganzhong Garrison Division and the Ganzhong Security Force stationed in Laochang, vacated their barracks and dispatched officers and men to ensure the basic livelihood of the victims.

At the same time, the amount of donations raised from all parts of the country has been successively remitted to the special disaster relief account of the Nanchang branch of the Central Bank of China, which has reached more than 6.4 million yuan, and the amount is still slowly increasing.

Batches of food, clothing, and quilts donated by people from all over the Yangtze River basin were concentrated at the wharves of Jiujiang, Nanjing, Jingjiang, and Shanghai, and soon arrived at the disaster areas by sea......
