Chapter 478 The days when the outside is loose and the inside is tight

After Chu'er left, An Yi finally moved into the small western-style building of the Central Military Academy on Huangpu Road that had already been renovated and was only waiting to move in, began routine teaching and seminars, attended various meetings of the Military Commission, and often accompanied Commander-in-Chief Jiang to meet with foreign military attaches and military exchange groups. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In view of the fact that An Yi drove out in plainclothes late at night several times in civilian clothes to drink with former instructors Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Cai Zhonghu, Mao Bingwen and others, as well as Dai Li, Hu Zongnan, Gan Lichu, He Jinhan and other Whampoa brothers, Chiang Kai-shek, who had received secret reports many times, finally couldn't bear it anymore, seriously criticized An Yi the day before New Year's Day, and issued a death order: It is forbidden to travel without asking for instructions!

But this so-called permission to travel only after asking for instructions can be regarded as putting on a tight spell for An Yi, who has to ask Zhang Zhizhong, a strict teacher, to take leave at the military academy, and ask Commander-in-Chief Jiang himself at the Military Commission, so that An Yi had to huddle in the military academy all day long after hitting the wall many times, and he couldn't go anywhere. Fortunately, there are Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng and others who are studying in the general's class, as the commander of the independent division, he can also meet with the independent division generals who come to report and ask for instructions, although he is still a little depressed, but he is not too lonely, and he can also go out to meet new and old friends every Saturday night and Sunday, or go to Gong Qian's house to have a drink and chat about family life, and the small life is quite leisurely.

On 1 January 1929, when the long-awaited National Conference on Disarmament and Redeployment finally officially opened, An Yi, as a member of the staff of the Central Disarmament Commission, naturally needed to attend the meeting as an observer and sit in the parliament hall with more than 200 military and political officials from the Central Party Department and various ministries and commissions of the Central Government to listen to the report of Commander-in-Chief Chiang.

After the morning meeting was basically a formality, Commander-in-Chief Chiang finished speaking, and the white and tender deputy chief of staff He Yingqin (then chief of staff was Li Jishen) then announced a series of figures, proving the urgency and feasibility of the current disarmament, and then Song Ziwen, Minister of Finance and Governor of the Central Bank, took the stage to speak. Naturally, he would not give any face to the generals who were full of military spending of 7 million yuan a month, and after his cold speech, the commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff of the four group armies were depressed, but they also knew very well that the finances in front of them had indeed reached a very dangerous point, and Feng Yuxiang, who was as angry as Feng Yuxiang, could only sigh secretly, not daring to say another witticism that satirized the central authorities.

The grand and grand reception luncheon was over, An Yi knew that the afternoon was the time for group discussions, and he didn't have to attend the meeting anymore, so after thinking about it, he decided to go back to Sister Qian's house to have a look, and by the way, he learned about what he told Chen Yu to do, but before he walked out of the banquet hall, he was stopped by Kang Ze and Dai Li.

In desperation, An Yi followed Kang and Dai to the small conference room of Principal Jiang at the headquarters, and was quite surprised to find that dozens of Huangpu senior brothers had gathered together, but everyone was sitting without saying a word, and he couldn't ask what was going on, so he could only find a place next to Hu Zongnan to sit down and wait patiently. After a while, President Jiang came overly, and the long-planned "Inspirational Club" was finally born.

After the lecture of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, who personally served as the president of the Inspirational Society, General Huang Wenlin, the director general, continued to speak, "taking the Whampoa soldiers as the backbone, invigorating the revolutionary spirit, and being the most loyal party members who believe in the Three People's Principles......" and so on, and after talking for a long time, An Yi figured out that this is an organization that imitates the Japanese and American armies in the nature of establishing officers' clubs, which is mainly responsible for external liaison, propaganda, reception, and other affairs, and although it is not a formal party, government, and military organization, it is necessary to establish huge branches throughout the country. Nanchang's Inspirational Society branch is initially set in Baihuazhou, Nanjing Inspirational Society is located on Huangpu Road and Zhongshan East Road northeast side of Ming Taizu's West Flower Garden, although it covers an area of nearly 11 acres, but because the current West Flower Garden has already been dilapidated, it is estimated that it has to spend money to rebuild, the preliminary planning to build a large auditorium that can accommodate 500 people to sit, and there are several office buildings, as members of the society, assembly and entertainment. Hearing the announcement of the membership list, An Yi realized that he had become one of the directors of the head office in a daze.

After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek nodded to An Yi and signaled to follow him away, An Yi hurriedly said goodbye to many brothers with jealousy and envy in his eyes, and then walked out of the conference room to the cold outside, Chiang Kai-shek did not get into the car, but stepped on the residual snow and asked An Yi to accompany him for a while:

"An Yi, since mid-November last year, the General Headquarters has appointed General Zhu Yizhi as commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits, and Lu Diping, commander of the Hunan Conference Office and commander of the Second Army, as deputy commander. It is very disappointing that the central government has spent millions of military dollars but has achieved nothing, and the bandits are becoming more and more intense! A few people from the headquarters have proposed that you go to Jiangxi to take up the post of chief of the general staff, what do you think? ”

An Yi already knew that several old chiefs of the headquarters had this proposal, and he also knew the key and delicate relationship between them, so he pretended to think carefully for a moment and replied in a low voice:

"The principal has an order, how dare the students disobey it? It's just that if the students suddenly come to suppress the general at such a critical moment, I am afraid that the consensus that the various armies on the front line have formed with great difficulty will die. It doesn't matter to Yigong, he has always regarded the students as his nephews, and he must not have any other bad thoughts because of the sudden appearance of the students, but General Lu Diping is not easy to talk to, how can General Lu say that he is still a general in the Gui camp that occupies the two lakes, and it is at the critical moment of the disarmament conference, if the students go to Jiangxi, what will General Li Delin and General Bai Chongxi think? If you don't get it right, you will use this as an excuse to deliberately hinder the smooth progress of the deployment meeting, which is really worth the loss! ”

Chiang Kai-shek stopped, stared at An Yi for a moment, nodded slightly, and said appreciatively:

"It makes sense, it can be seen from this that you take the overall situation into account, you did not participate in yesterday's special meeting on the suppression of bandits, Vice Minister He Jingzhi also put forward similar opinions to you, although he did not say it as clearly as you, but the meaning is completely the same, thinking that it is very inappropriate to send you there, and several veterans of the headquarters quarreled with him on the spot, thinking that it is most appropriate for you to go. Now it seems that your opinion is very worthy of consideration, we can't lose a big one because of a small one, let's throw this problem to Li Delin, let him send someone from Wuhan himself, so as to block his mouth. ”

"Headmaster Mingjian!" An Yi replied with a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek took another step: "How is the situation of the company that your senior brother Yu sent to the independent division for training?" ”

"Together with the special brigade of the independent division, they have not come back in the mountainous area of eastern Hubei hundreds of miles to the west, and the day before yesterday I sent a telegram saying that two fell and died while climbing, and almost half of the officers and soldiers were eliminated, but the remaining seventy people are all good, and they will be able to return to Senior Brother Yu's guard brigade next month to take charge of themselves." An Yi said very easily, it seems that it is normal for such an accident to occur.

Chiang Kai-shek knew that the special training of the independent division was extremely cruel, and he also knew that the independent division paid a high price and hard work for this, but it was a pity that the cost of such an elite unit was too great, and he was powerless to promote it in the whole army, so he could only sigh helplessly and nodded to show that he understood, and then turned the topic to other matters: "Has Minister Song discussed with you about the preparation of the tax police corps?" ”

"After talking, talking twice, Minister Song wanted to go to the independent division in person to see the training of the independent regiment and the model battalion, and the students agreed according to the principal's wishes, but Minister Song said that it would be difficult to raise enough funds for the formation for a while, so the students suggested that he first set up a pilot project in Shanghai, set up a group to see the effect, and assist the customs and tax administration departments to crack down on smuggling, tax evasion and other illegal acts, and the specific way is ultimately up to Minister Song to decide." An Yi replied.

Chiang Kai-shek let out a "hmm" and asked with a smile: "He didn't urge you to pay taxes?" ”

An Yi grinned: "How could it not?" He warned the students very seriously, saying that if they did not pay the tax again, he would inspect all the cargo ships departing from Nanchang and Hukou in Wusongkou, and impose double export taxes on tungsten ore, wood furniture, ramie fabrics, hardware tools, bearings, bicycles, and other 38 categories of commodities produced in Jiangxi. ”

Chiang Kai-shek laughed heartily: "Haha, I knew he would urge you!" You two are like a couple of enemies sometimes! However, you have also heard this morning's report, and now the government's fiscal deficit is very large, and he is also doing this to maintain the normal operation of the entire central government! By the way, didn't you tell him that in order to buy military technology and expand the Jiangnan Arsenal, you secretly spent a huge sum of three million marks? ”

"The student didn't say it, I believe that Minister Song will be able to see from the report of the arsenal next month that Minister Song is extremely open-minded and far-sighted in terms of the introduction of technology and advanced equipment, and the students can only wait for Minister Song to grasp it himself. An Yi smiled bitterly after speaking.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled from ear to ear: "You, you are so understanding, you always like to take care of other people's ideas, you win my heart, you win my heart!" Speaking of which, I can't blame him, I can't blame you, if you want to blame the current situation is erosive, sometimes even I can't wait to make a piece of the ocean into two, I believe he will soon understand what you do. ”

"Principal Xie!" An Yi thanked him in time.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "The party committee of the military academy reported to me that in order to cultivate talents, they proposed to let you serve as the deputy secretary of the party of the military academy, but you repeatedly resigned, what is going on?" ”

"Headmaster, the student feels that he has always been a leader of the troops, and now he is trembling as the chief instructor of the military academy, let alone anything else? At present, there are more and more instructors from various countries, and my colleagues and seniors are either graduates of Lu University or outstanding ones who have returned from abroad. Besides, maybe one day I will go to the front line, and instead of occupying an important position in the party, it is better to let someone with more ability and qualifications take on it, which is more beneficial to the construction and continuity of the military school. An Yi explained.

"Hmmm......"

Chiang Kai-shek snorted noncommittally: "Someone has reported to me that your attitude towards the two Japanese instructors is very problematic, and people salute you three times and several times, and you pretend not to see it and turn around and leave, is there such a thing?" ”

An Yi honestly admitted: "It's true, but there is a reason, the day after the two Japanese instructors were transferred from the Army University, the students gave in to the instructor of the branch to ask them with a note, asking them what is the difference between the leather magazine that the Japanese soldier carried behind his back and the two in front of his waist?" Instead of answering truthfully, they lied that they were all the same, so the students were very skeptical of their sincerity and even more suspicious of the purpose of their visit. ”

Chiang Kai-shek stopped in surprise, stared into An Yi's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Principal, the students learned from the mouth of a lieutenant colonel of General Zhang Chengzhu's cavalry division who had just returned from studying at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school that many years ago, a Japanese instructor of the former Baoding Military Academy was ordered to commit suicide by disembowelment after returning to China because he revealed the secret of the bullets carried by Japanese soldiers, and this secret is nothing, but some Japanese soldiers with excellent archery skills placed the rifle bullet in the third leather magazine behind them is a special bullet, this bullet has a stable flight and more powerful destructive power, and is specially used to hunt and kill important targets of the opponent, such as commanders, etc., and the Japanese army seems to have shown signs of promoting this practice, so the students do not believe that these two officers from the Japanese army do not understand this.

Secondly, the students listened to their tactical lessons twice, and the level was so poor that many of the explanations were misleading. The students thought that it was not that the two of them were not level, but that they were not sincere, and they were far worse than those British instructors who were very academically minded although they were above the top, so they were also forced to dislike them, and the students could not learn those polite skills that were false and wrong, and they should do what they wanted, and they begged the principal to criticize them if they were wrong. ”

An Yi said a lot, which was enough to attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention,

Chiang Kai-shek took a step slowly, stepped on the thin snow and made a slight chirping sound, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and sighed slightly:

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! But we still need to maintain the necessary exchanges, so let it be as you please, don't let your mentor and me get too out of the stage, and let the Japanese know the arrogance of our Whampoa soldiers, what to do, you can grasp it yourself. ”

"Yes!"

"On Sunday the 6th, your wife invited you to church and have a meal together...... By the way, how long has it been since you went to church? ”

"Huh? This...... Student...... Students also forgot. ”

"Haha! You hypocrite ......" Chiang Kai-shek pointed at An Yi and scolded with a smile.

An Yi smiled, thinking don't talk about me, if you don't want to marry Song Meiren, it is estimated that you will not join any Christianity, the two of us are half a catty, no one should laugh at anyone.

……

As soon as the day dawned, slogans and footsteps were sounding on the playground of the Central Military Academy, and An Yi, who had been jogging for a week of recovery, followed behind the team of engineers and scientists, and ran around the field ten times in full gear like all the cadets.

Hundreds of students saw An Yi join their team, all of them were in high spirits, the district captain who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu also ran faster than in the past, the exhausted An Yi always followed closely, and the students who fell behind one by one persevered to the end, the students and instructors admired An Yi who was seriously injured and had just recovered, and he didn't have time to come forward to greet him, An Yi had been called by Zhang Zhizhong.

Walking to the edge of the playground, Zhang Zhi pointed to the ice ridge under the eaves of the porch and the surrounding snow, seriously criticized An Yi's rashness, and ordered An Yi to be banned from participating in the students' morning exercise for a month, and at most he could only warm up and recover by trotting on the side.

An Yi humbly accepted to admit his mistake in a low voice, but he didn't think so, thinking that with his excellent physique, what did he get in these few kilometers? As long as you break through the limit of physical strength a little bit, you can return to normal levels in less than a month.

However, An Yi still overestimated his ability, and in the afternoon, he analyzed the content of the Kunshan Battle for the general's official class only halfway through, and beads of sweat immediately poured out of his forehead and neck, and his chest and back were wet, An Yi only felt that his mouth was dry, his head was dizzy, and he reluctantly wrote three questions on the blackboard for everyone to discuss, so he sat on the chair on the podium and opened his heavy eyelids with difficulty.

Several major generals sitting in the front row were taken aback, and rushed up to support An Yi and asked what's wrong? Shen Fengdao, the adjutant who sat in the back row and listened to the lecture silently every time, strode over, and after cutting the pulse, he picked up the dazed An Yi and ran to the school hospital with Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng and others who caught up with him, and the doctor tested his body temperature and checked it in detail, and found that An Yi had a high fever of 4.2 degrees Celsius, which immediately scared a group of generals and military doctors, and judged that An Yi's old injuries had not healed, his body was weak and he had a high fever caused by wind and cold, and he needed to be sent to the Army General Hospital for treatment. rushed to the Army General Hospital on Panlong Road for treatment.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had just finished the meeting, received an urgent report from the military academy, was taken aback, and personally called the director's office of the Army General Hospital to inquire about An Yi's condition, and learned that although An Yi had a high fever and did not wake up, he was in a better mood after learning that he had no worries about life.

In the evening, Gong Qian couldn't wait for An Yi to come back for dinner, so she called Chen Yu to inquire, and was anxious after learning that An Yi was hospitalized with a high fever, and immediately asked the driver of the office to drive over to pick her up and take her to the hospital.

Chen Yu put down the phone and thought about it, so he decided to drive Gong Qian to the hospital in person, and by the way, see how the boss was. Half an hour later, the two met with Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng and others, and Gong Qian learned that An Yi was now in good health, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Gong Qian knew that Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng had to return to the Jiangbei Barracks every Sunday to inspect the work of the independent division and deal with the backlog of various affairs, so she politely persuaded the two to go back first, as long as she and Adjutant Shen, Xiao Jiu and others were here in the hospital.

Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng knew that staying would not help much, so they could only leave the hospital in Chen Yu's car together after thanking them.
