Chapter 613: Suspicion and Trust

On October 22, An Yi finally returned to Nanjing, out of anger at the Nationalist government's soft bones and disappointment at Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance, An Yi did not go directly to see Chiang Kai-shek as usual, but returned to the old nest of Houzai Lane to deal with the urgent tasks that had piled up.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a state of uncertainty for the Guangdong Government, did not have time to wait for An Yi's inspection report, so he rushed to Shanghai by plane before noon to start bargaining negotiations with Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, who had finally reached a preliminary mutual understanding under the pretext of "going to danger together."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek, who had flown back to Nanjing from Shanghai, had nothing to gain and entered the office depressed, and before he could drink a saliva, Xu Enzeng, who was in charge of the investigation of party affairs, quietly arrived and sent an urgent report to Chiang Kai-shek.

After reading the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek frowned: "Who is in charge of the defense and law and order maintenance of Jiujiang?" ”

"General Jingzhi's Third Brigade of the Garrison Division, the brigade commander is Dong Qihui, the former head of the Teaching Regiment of the Ganzhong Garrison Command." Xu Enzeng's answer was concise and to the point.

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and remembered: "Oh, this Dong Qihui is an old man in the third phase of Huangpu, a native of Haizhou, Jiangsu, who has relatively rich experience among the generals who have followed An Yi...... With his ability, how could he not maintain law and order in the Jiujiang area? At this critical juncture, we have let dozens of Japanese overseas Chinese in Jiujiang be looted by the mob, and we don't know who did what they did, so how can we face the questions of the Japanese? ”

Xu En once replied in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, the subordinates judged that it was ** who did it." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's mind turned, nodded and sighed: "I can only plant a false accusation to **, but you immediately send a telegram to Nanchang Xingying to ask them how they did it?" In the past few months, various criminal cases have emerged one after another, and ** has openly pasted reactionary slogans all over Nanchang City, what are they eating? This was unimaginable before, ask He Jingzhi how to suppress the bandits more and more back? ”

"The commander-in-chief, please calm his anger, the overall resignation of the garrison force in Ganzhong led by Xia Jian was scattered in a blink of an eye, and there was a shortage of troops and police in Nanchang and the surrounding major counties and towns, so that the ** and the red bandit army took advantage of the situation and was extremely arrogant, and the subordinates felt that although the Nanchang camp needed to bear certain responsibilities, the original Ganzhong garrison force also had to take responsibility." Xu En once boldly expressed his opinion.

Chiang Kai-shek patted his forehead and shook his head helplessly: "I knew that it would cause such a bad result, I should not have approved He Jingzhi and Yang Changqing's proposal in the first place, they completely offended An Yi and many of his old subordinates this time, and turned a Nanchang area that has always been politically stable and taxes have increased year after year, into an embarrassing situation where red bandits are rampant and regressive, and the gains outweigh the losses...... Say whatever you want, don't ramble. ”

Xu En once saw that Chiang Kai-shek saw through his thoughts at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward half a step, and said cautiously: "Commander-in-chief, his subordinates have no doubt about General An Yi's loyalty, if General An has any major shortcomings, that is, he has always insisted on a tough attitude towards the Japanese, but all kinds of things that have happened one after another seem to prove that General An's predictions and warnings are more and more correct, the Japanese are indeed encroaching on us step by step and barbarizing aggression, and now they want to divide our land and divide the northeast into another country, Its wolf ambitions are undisguised.

I secretly thought that with General An's character, as long as the commander-in-chief spoke, let alone the security forces of several brigades in Jiangxi, let An Yi recruit and train a few divisions for the commander-in-chief, presumably General An would also obey the order, but now in order to set up a small Nanchang garrison division, he completely offended General An, and made many generals in the army palpitate, everyone felt in danger, and it was indeed as the commander-in-chief said, the gains outweighed the losses!

His subordinates felt that Mr. Yang Changqing was not unaware of the old feud between General He Jingzhi and General An, but Mr. Changqing still encouraged and supported General He Jingzhi to do so, which is very incomprehensible. ”

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Xu Enzeng, did not speak again, and waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

Xu Enzeng bowed side by side and whispered goodbye, but there was no panic in his heart, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek had understood the irreconcilable contradiction between his CC department and Yang Yongtai's political science department, and his remarks just now were likely to make Chiang Kai-shek mistakenly think that his CC department was taking the opportunity to attack his political opponent again, but Xu Enzeng did not have the slightest worry, he knew that as long as he seized any opportunity to attack Yang Yongtai and kept attacking, he and his cousin Chen brothers would one day achieve the goal of defeating political opponents, even if Chiang Kai-shek had opinions about himself because of this, The Chen brothers and many CC elders will also relieve their worries.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not blame Xu Enzeng for taking the opportunity to attack dissidents, but after signing a few documents, he waved off his secretary and pondered alone. In the current embarrassing situation of internal and external difficulties, his position has been severely challenged, his prestige has been greatly reduced, but he has not been able to find any way to solve the contradiction between the split within the party and external aggression, and he has personally participated in the large-scale encirclement and suppression war under his command without an inch of success, and has suffered successive defeats, and the army has not only been defeated but has become stronger and stronger, at this time, no one can share his worries, and the He Yingqin, Liu Zhi, Chen Cheng and others he values have been defeated in a row, one by one, and it is rare to see even half a smile around him. All this made Chiang Kai-shek involuntarily think of his proud protégé and wise and brave general An Yi, but it was Chiang Kai-shek himself who sent An Yi to Europe and the United States for inspection, and it was he Chiang Kai-shek himself who agreed to divide An Yi's old department and restrict An Yi's development and growth. Can you still get the financial, wise and brave An Yi to serve his life?

Chiang Kai-shek didn't know the answer, especially since An Yi arrived in Shanghai last night and returned to Nanjing this morning and did not ask for a meeting as usual, so Chiang Kai-shek had to worry about An Yi's subtle changes, he understood more and more that An Yi's importance and influence were exactly what he desperately needed, but now Chiang Kai-shek did not have much confidence that everything was under control.

"Report!"

Yu Jishi, the commander of the guard division, reported loudly.

Chiang Kai-shek slowly raised his head: "Come in...... Jishi, An Yi is back, do you know? ”

"The student already knew, at noon Senior Brother An called the student to greet him, saying that he was in a hurry to leave without any gifts, please forgive me, the student asked him to come out at night for a gathering, he replied that he had been adrift at sea for a month in a row, and his physical condition was not good, and he had a low-grade fever for several days, so he could only recuperate at home, and it was estimated that his adjutant had gone to the staff headquarters to take leave for him." Yu Jishi answered honestly.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly: "Low-grade fever? It's time to ...... sick."

"Headmaster, why don't you go to Senior Brother An's house to visit?" Yu Jishi asked for instructions.

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "No need, you call him in the evening and say that I am very concerned about his condition." ”

"Yes! The student quits. ”

Yu Jishi saluted and turned to leave.

"Wait."

When Chiang Kai-shek stopped Yu Ji, when he came back and stood still, he asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about An Yi's quiet relocation of many factories to southern Sichuan in batches?" What are your thoughts on this? ”

Yu Jishi thought for a while and replied: "The students know a little, but it is said that a lot of equipment is sold to Yunnan and Xiangxi, not relocated. After several years of operation, transportation and steady growth of industry, commerce and agriculture in Xiangxi have been discovered since the beginning of this year, and it is normal to increase investment to stimulate development; After Zhu Yigong took charge of Yunnan's military administration, the joint administration team formed was quite united, especially in the area of economic development and support for the people's livelihood, Yunnan's determination was not small, and its action was also very rapid, and they continued to use all kinds of advanced mining and smelting equipment that had been implemented in old Nanchang, and it is understandable that they urgently needed to obtain specialized personnel in this field. At present, the only person who can help them in China is Jiangnan Group, which is understandable from an economic point of view.

There is another reason that Senior Brother An did not say, but the students can perceive it through a long time together, Senior Brother An predicted that there will be a large-scale all-out war between China and Japan, and with our national strength and army level, we can only parry, at least in the initial stage of the war, the overall situation has no power to fight back, so Senior Brother An will move its important strategic factories to the west, perhaps it is his planned and step-by-step action, but the negative effect of his gradual abandonment of Nanchang is too obvious, and the impact on the industry and commerce of the provinces, It will have a certain negative impact on the military. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with relief: "Okay, let's go back." ”

"Yes!"

In the evening, An Yi was still reading the report in his study after the meeting, thinking about countermeasures, and was very disgusted by the current central government and Chiang Kai-shek's pinning all their hopes for resolving the Northeast issue on the mediation of the League of Nations and Britain and the United States.

At this critical moment of national crisis, how eager An Yi is to lead his elite division to fight a good battle with the Japanese army, and through an all-out war, let all the soldiers and people reverse their pessimistic and panicked emotions, and establish confidence in resolutely resisting and defending the dignity of the country and the nation.

Under the current internal and external troubles, only by fighting a war to beat the Japanese is the best way to resolve the contradictions, and all the forces in the country can temporarily abandon the contradictions by going to the national disaster with the same hatred of the enemy, and unanimously to the outside world, and the various forces with ill intentions abroad will also have concerns about the courageous resistance of the Chinese people, no matter from which point of view, the foreign war to resist foreign humiliation is only good and not bad for the current China, anyway, it has now reached the worst level, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad.

However, if you want to fight a good battle, you must get the support of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the whole army, otherwise An Yi will not be able to fight this battle even if he has great determination, and even if his soldiers have the most determined spirit of sacrifice, they will not be able to fight this battle.

The familiar footsteps came clearly, An Yi closed the document, put on his coat and walked to the door, welcoming Gong Qian, who was full of excitement, into the study: "Sister, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I want to come to see you when I come back from overtime at night, I heard Xiao Wan say that you are still in a meeting, so I will wait...... Come, let my sister take a good look...... Thin, thin and dark, must have been tossed at sea. Gong Qian lovingly gently brushed Shun An Yi's hair.

An Yi grabbed Gong Qian's jade hand and pulled him to the sofa and sat down: "Sister, you must have something, right?" ”

Gong Qian smiled slightly, wiped the fine beads of sweat from the tip of her nose, and asked in a low voice: "Did you do the looting of the Jiujiang Japanese overseas Chinese and the Jiujiang branch of the Japanese Zhengjin Bank?" ”

An Yi was shocked, but there was a look of surprise on his face: "What's wrong?" How could there be such a thing? Hasn't Jiujiang always been peaceful before? ”

Gong Qian stared at An Yi's eyes for a long time, then nodded and said: "It's not good, this matter is very big, not to mention how the Japanese will be like thunder, just more than six million robberies are the first major case in the Republic of China......"
