The Zhenjiang Pavilion on the bank of the Yichang City River stands majestically, and looks at each other with the dotted army on the south bank. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere is a clear river in the south of Dianjuntai, which winds to the west from the south, flows to the back side of Dianjuntai and then turns north to join the mighty Yangtze River, and the Dianjuntai surrounded by water on three sides is between the big and small rivers, like a wide and flat peninsula, and its superior geographical location makes it in an important position to drag the Yangtze River.

The original military barracks have been expanded and renovated by the Fifth Army Corps for three months, and have now become a perfect barracks for a division to be stationed; Ding Zhicheng, who had just been promoted to commander of the Yichang Garrison Command half a month ago, set up his headquarters here, and the military wharf that was expanded a year ago has now become a special wharf for the Marine Police Brigade, and all the materials obtained are stored in six large warehouses on the west side of the barracks above the wharf.

The quaint and mottled nine-story stone tower is less than 100 meters away from the camp gate, and a newly built courtyard in front of the stone tower is where the garrison headquarters is located. The ancient trees in front of the courtyard are towering, the branches and leaves are swaying, and a large stone table carved with lotus flowers is placed squarely under the shade of the plant, and the warm sun shines through the dense leaves, sprinkling a little spot of light, shining on the stone table and the surrounding generals.

The tea is sweet, the breeze is breezy, and An Yi, who is sitting on a sturdy bamboo chair, holds the list of arms in his hand, and sighs,

"Forty-eight Krupps have seven or five guns, and six Krupps have one or two. Slot shells, these two items alone are as high as millions of oceans, as well as 50,000 high-explosive shells, incendiary bombs and armor-piercing shells, plus those light and heavy machine guns, rifles and five sets of new machine tools, the total amount is no less than 8 million oceans!

No wonder, Duobao Dao people, Liu Wenhui is willing to give 30,000 taels of gold and 1,000 loads of tobacco at a time to redeem it, even I feel tempted to see Ding, if this batch of goods is delivered smoothly, Liu Xiang should have a headache. The warlords in central Sichuan have been fighting for many years, and it is said that the common people have even paid taxes decades later, presumably this batch of arms is the accumulation of Liu Wenhui's years of looting Sichuan land. "Commander, do you think it's time for the subordinate garrison division to set up an artillery regiment?" Ding Zhicheng asked seriously, causing the surrounding brothers to laugh.

Who knew that An Yi nodded, and replied very seriously, "Since there are ready-made ones, then you should hurry up and form your own artillery regiment, I will give you six artillery companies, eighteen seven or five cannons, half of each mountain artillery and field artillery, each cannon is equipped with two hundred shells, how about it?" Ding Zhicheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and thanked Dalu, all the brothers looked at each other, but they didn't expect An Yi to dare to divide up this batch of seizures without any scruples when the General Department repeatedly ordered all the captured artillery to be transported to Nanjing.

Lieutenant General Zeng Guangqing, the secretary general of the camp, shook his hands in fright, and Jun hurriedly put down the teacup and comforted him again and again.

"Senior brother, it's not appropriate to do this! The student named above wants you to escort the arms to Nanjing, and then the general headquarters will adjudicate, aren't you afraid of the principal's punishment? "Afraid of what? None of the three telegram orders issued by the commander-in-chief were signed by the building commander, and the senior brother should be able to see some famous names from them, and it must be that the gang at the headquarters and the generals of the divisions got the news, so they hurriedly gathered together to give the order to the younger brother, do you want the younger brother to obey?

They also didn't think about it, why did they not dare to detain the outer ships when this batch of munitions passed through the three river defense checkpoints of Wulakou, Zhenjiang, and Lime Kiln? But when the younger brother swept it down, he jumped out and wanted a piece of the pie, as if he was guilty of a great crime if he didn't hand it over to the central government, it was ridiculous, I won't eat this set! At this time, the German Lihe Foreign Bank was still jumping up and down, trying to put pressure on the younger brother through the way of just handing over, trying to force me to return the arms to them, why did the bosses of the army not come forward to stand up, but handed over the problem to me? If it weren't for the fact that the younger brother learned from Mr. Hans that the payment for this batch of arms had already been paid, he would have lost his skin!

In the past two years, they have refused to help us Jiangnan Group to buy optical glass production technology, and they have even lobbied Zeiss not to sell it to us, saying that this is more than worth the loss, and that the telescopes and sights produced in Germany will have no market in China in the future, and now we have not bought it from Schneider, the competitor of Zeiss Company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy? They also generously transferred to us two newly designed artillery telescopes and a camera production design drawings at a low price, and the Yankees and Frenchmen also eagerly sought our cooperation when they learned of the situation. ”

An Yi shrugged and replied indifferently.

Zeng Guangqing looked sad, but he still looked worried, "Although I said that, even if the principal doesn't blame, you will offend many people because of this, especially the big guys at the headquarters who didn't take advantage." Now that the war in the Central Plains has come to an end, seeing that it will be difficult to have another major war in a few years, and the role of excellent generals is no longer so obvious, it is not good if someone slanders the principal at this time, I think it is better to be cautious. An Yi shook his head and looked helpless, "Senior brother,... The younger brother knows that this will definitely offend many people, but now it is impossible to do everything in this world at any time, and I believe that the principal will make his own decisions. However, six of these arms are one or two. The receiving guns will definitely not be retained, and the artillery command of the headquarters urgently needs these six large-caliber guns to decorate the façade...... The little brother will let them send someone to take it away, and no one else will want to touch Brother Zhu from me! ”

"Here!" Zhu Shigui, who had been here for three days and had no share of his own, stood up like an electric shock, his eyes full of excitement and expectation.

An Yi smiled, raised his wrist and waved for him to sit down, "The artillery battalion of the 17th Division should also be upgraded to an artillery regiment, and I will ask the transportation department to pull eighteen new guns and shells to Xiangyang later, you will bring the replacement nine old guns to the truck back, and I will send the nine Japanese guns to the non-commissioned officers in Xiangxi."

In addition, I will allocate twelve heavy machine guns to your subordinates, and after a few battles you complain that the blockade fire is not strong enough, take this opportunity to make up for it. "Thank you so much! It's great that you let the foolish brother thank you" Zhu Shigui was so excited that he spun around in a circle, and his stomach began to tremble, and his funny appearance attracted laughter from all the brothers.

An Yi saw Zeng Kuo**'s words and stopped, knowing that he had something for himself, and immediately stood up and ordered Zhao Rui to update the weapons and equipment for each division according to the original plan according to the situation of each division, and concentrate all the old guns and cannons that had been replaced in these warehouses, and then pull up under the stone tower in Zeng Kuoqing's backyard, and walk slowly "Senior Brother" Little brother knows that you have something to say, and now there is no one else, say it quickly, what is the matter? ”

Zeng Kuoqing thought about it and said truthfully, "Brother Yu doesn't hide it from you, last night Liu Fucheng sent someone to come to the door, quietly stuffed a check for 200,000 yuan to Brother Yu, and asked Brother Yu to lobby you not to return this batch of seized arms to Liu Wenhui." Where does the foolish brother dare to make the decision for you, he immediately tried his best to refuse, who knew that the person who came was extremely shameless and threw down the check and turned around and ran away, and still can't find anyone else.

The foolish brother really had no choice, and he didn't dare to speak out, so he came to discuss with you after the meeting today.

An Yi stopped in surprise, and then nodded, "So that's the case, I said why you were so preoccupied at the discussion meeting in the afternoon. Senior brother, this is a good thing, someone will send a pillow when you are sleepy, since it is a matter of pushing the boat down the river, you can boldly accept the money, no one will pursue it. The younger brother has long decided not to return the engraved Wenhui arms, you have also seen it, now I am starting to distribute it, I believe that it will not be long before this batch of arms will not exist, and even if you want to pay it back, you can also have a satisfactory explanation to Liu Fucheng Two and more, think about it, who is Liu Wenhui? Not only is it the local division of the military that the central government and the president are determined to eliminate, but also Liu Xiang's sworn enemy, Liu Xiang is afraid that the central government will reactivate Liu Wenhui and let the four again. There is a situation of one mountain and two tigers, and now he is looking for Director He to persuade the younger brother to confiscate this batch of arms, and secretly asked the senior brother to facilitate this matter, it can be seen that Liu Xiang is very concerned about this batch of arms, if it is really sent back to Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang does not know how much price he will have to pay in the next step of hegemony, not to mention anything else, Liu Wenhui only needs to take out a part of Deng Xihou and other departments who buy more soldiers and fewer guns, and he can re-bring the various forces of the Baoding Department together, Liu Xiang is afraid of this situation, this year, real guns and ammunition, It's better than any promise. ”

"But one hundred and twenty thousand is not one, a small amount! If Shangfeng learns that Che Xing is down, it is enough to choke whether the head of the foolish brother can be left. ”

Zeng Guangqing, who has always flaunted himself with a clean body and a clean breeze on his sleeves, is very worried.

"I was worried about this... In this way, senior brother, you give the check for 200,000 yuan to the little one, brother,... The younger brother will issue you a check for 200,000 yuan from Huiwei Bank, and even if it is checked at that time, you will say that the matter has already been transferred to the younger brother to deal with it with full authority,... The younger brother is responsible for it, let them check the younger brother to see who has the ability. Isn't it 200,000? Look at your timid look, it's useless! Zeng Guangqing gratefully knocked on An Yi's chest for a moment, "How can you let the foolish brother thank you?" ”

An Yi waved his hand and pulled Zeng Kuo to continue walking, "It's night, isn't it?" The two of us are both "people", and we are out of the same class, from entering the Huang Pei Military Academy to the present,... The younger brother is always guided and cared for by the senior brother, who else has a deeper relationship than us? Again, this time, the principal is determined to win the four servants, and the minimum purpose is to make our central army gain a firm foothold, and gradually return the military, government, and civil power to the central government, so as to end the situation of the civil war in the four battles, and then complete the unification of the entire southwest, and prepare in advance for possible war crises in the future.

There is also a small sentence in my heart, my brother has always wanted to say but I don't have time to say it, I can see that the senior brother has been a little unhappy in his heart for several months, it is estimated that the younger brother did not transfer the power to the camp, in fact, there is a big reason for this, that is, the younger brother can not delegate power, otherwise with the level of the bureaucrats in the camp, there will be a lot of things that drag him back, and then you and my brother may also make more trouble because of this, and I will not do things that outweigh the losses!

Senior brother is the same as Director He, Si Xiang came on a secret mission, but the old men who can only be officials in the Party Department of the Feasible Battalion and the Central Government Preparatory Group are different, they don't have this pressure, and they don't understand the far-reaching strategies of the principal and the Central Committee, they will only pretend to draw gourds in the same way, and they like to do some peache-picking things, they can't see that the principal still retains a piece of hard work in the Fifth Army and the Western Hubei Theater, what is a war zone? Senior brother must know better than those fools. ”

Zeng Guangqing nodded with deep feelings, "Yes, although Brother Fool doesn't know the details of the whole plan, but Brother Fool can still see some clues from the tasks assigned by the Central Party Department and the attention of the principal, knowing that the pressure on the junior brother is much greater than ours, as the work deepens step by step, Brother Fool and Director He both understand, and there is no longer any misunderstanding about the junior brother, only the group of commissioners who have misunderstandings, they all want to end the military management as soon as possible, so that they can take office." The officials of the tax administration bureau sent by the central government are nothing, and since they learned that they will be granted the right to collect taxes from January next year, their complaints have disappeared at once, but they are still obsessed with the practice of smuggling on the water. ”

"They don't think about it! The Marine Police Brigade and the Silk Smuggling Team were established by Lao Tzu, all the anti-smuggling speedboats, escort gunboats and transport ships were bought by Lao Tzu out of his own pocket, and even the big camp at the foot was built by Lao Tzu with money, and Lao Tzu will never let go if he does not collect taxes for three or five years, if anyone wants to get this anti-smoking private bureau, he must first return 10 million inputs to Lao Tzu, otherwise don't even think about it, and if you annoy Lao Tzu, you will screw off the guy who eats! Again, from January 1 next year, the garrison headquarters will no longer subsidize a penny of the Yichang camp, and wants to use the money to find it themselves. An Yi said annoyedly.

Zeng Guangqing smiled slightly, knowing this, the importance of the anti-smoking and smuggling bureau with a monthly income of more than one million yuan to An Yi, and also knowing that in the past year and a half, An Yi has obtained at least 20 million huge profits through taxation and smuggling and smuggling, Yichang Xingying and the Hubei Provincial Government can't shake An Yi at all, even the four "military ask Liu Xiang, Ke Wenhui and other heroes, are helpless against An Yi, who has a heavy military exploits, how can a high and powerful general like Ying Qin be disgraced by An Yi, who dares to touch this tiger's buttocks?

Zeng Guangqing, who accepted the check for 200,000 yuan with peace of mind, was in an extremely happy mood, and no longer mentioned these annoying things, but told An Yi that he was about to enter Sichuan to encourage Liu Xiang and tell An Yi the decision of the Central Committee to announce Liu Xiang as the fourth "aftermath office", saying that this move would be in exchange for Liu Xiang to make a decision as soon as possible to conquer Liu Wenhui.

An Yi immediately said that he would immediately submit the report to President Jiang to facilitate Liu Xiang's determination as soon as possible to facilitate the smooth development of the military operation.
