The next day, it was noon. The report of the bloody case of the www.biquge.info Bread Barracks and the Mare" Customs Collection Office was reported to Boris, the county administrator of the British colonial government, and the garrison officer, who were shocked and quickly reported to the Burmese colonial government, Sir Kinnard Dorman Smith, the top military and political chief of the Burmese colonial government, and then led a company of British troops to drive more than 300 Burmese troops stationed in the Burmese to the north.

The British-Burmese troops who robbed the foreign country rode horses to the "Customs Collection Office" in the town of Mare, more than 30 kilometers away. "The horrific scene that came into view was extremely bloody and terrifying, and the military camp to the west was reduced to ashes. More than 60 heads hung on the gate of the inspection office, crawling with flies, a group of lean wild dogs were eating the corpses of several headless guards outside the gate, and a group of black and crushed unknown flying insects all pounced inside and outside the gate, frantically licking the blood and brains dripping on the ground.

Boris, a fat and stout foreign colonial officer, held his stomach and vomited a few times, and then fainted and fell to the ground, the British captain, the company commander picked up the cannon, and Rees roared loudly, his voice full of fear and trembling

"Quick! Go in and deal with the scene, Sergeant David, you immediately lead someone to find Lieutenant James and the tax collector quickly! ”

"Yes Qiangsheng"

Sergeant David led a platoon of British soldiers into the courtyard.

"Poison Bombardment"

Two violent explosions rang out in the sky, and hundreds of British and Burmese officers and soldiers who were scattered fled in all directions. The British captain, who was looking for cover and holding Cannon Reese, could not get out of his way and was pushed several meters away by a strong shock wave, and before he could get up, he was smashed by rubble and broken bricks, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

The captain wiped the blood oozing from his forehead, suddenly remembered Boris's safety, desperately got up and looked around, the unconscious cannon was covered with blood, and at this moment, Boris's fat body was pressed against Sergeant David, who was only half of his upper body, and the dying David opened his mouth to the British captain who was already frightened, and stretched out his blackened severed arm, which was only half of it. Struggled weakly a few times, his head tilted, and he died, and the bloody half of his body was still there

"Squeak. smoke

Within three hours, the bad news was transferred from Burma to the Indian Colonial Governor's Palace, and then from the Colonial Governor's Palace to London, and the British government and opposition were extremely angry, and the British media who learned the bad news were furious, calling it "a bloody disaster that has never been seen since the British ruled Burma."

The tragic tragedy in which the heads of 11 British soldiers, three British colonial government officials, and 67 Burmese officers and soldiers, including two British officers and two tax collectors, are still missing. The mainstream newspapers repeatedly shouted: "This is not only a great disaster for the empire on which the sun never sets, but also a shame that the British Empire has never had in a hundred years!" ”

What made the British angry and helpless. Until now, it has not been possible to find out who the murderer was. Through repeated analysis, the British side knew that it was very likely that the Chinese ethnic minorities or the military in the north had done it, but there was no evidence to prove this.

After an emergency meeting of the Cabinet to discuss and decide, it was decided to call the military and political chief of the Indo-Burmese colony and ask that professionals be organized to rush to the town of Mare in the shortest possible time. （.. Investigate. At the same time, the minister in China and the consular officer in Kunming were ordered to immediately lodge a strong protest with the Chinese government in Nanjing and Yunnan Province. It shows the firm determination of the British Empire government and army to take revenge.

At 5 p.m., the Japanese secret services in China were overjoyed upon receiving the news, and reports predicting that Britain would impose severe sanctions on China in the economic and trade fields, carry out military strikes against China on the Yunnan-Burma border, and occupy the territory of Yunnan and Tibet on a large scale urgently flew into the hands of the responsible persons of Japan's Sixth Military Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters. Ignite the raging anger between China and Britain, and take the opportunity to realize Japan's long-planned wolf ambition to invade North China and then the whole of China.

In addition to giving Yunnan Provincial Chairman Zhu Peide a secret telegram before the action, An Yi did not care about this, continued to inspect enterprises in various parts of Xiangxi, conspired with Zhang Hongji and other dignitaries to further develop and cooperate, and distributed the huge profits obtained by the huge enterprises jointly owned for thousands of years.

Due to Chiang Kai-shek's pressing step by step and Hunan Provincial Chairman He Jian's fierce eye, Zhang Hongza resolutely adopted a contraction strategy, and after abolishing the aviation school, which cost a huge amount of money, he once again merged the 11th Air Force into the aviation headquarters of the An Jia Army, so that his aviation unit became the second regiment of the South Sichuan Aviation Force, and let An Yi pay for the Syrian Aviation School established out of his own pocket to help him cultivate talents. On the surface, Xiangxi has weakened its own military strength, but in fact, it has cleverly avoided the annexation conspiracy of Chairman Chiang and the Central Aviation Administration against the weaker Xiangxi, and the ownership and command of the Second Air Regiment are still firmly in the hands of Zhang Hongji.

The Xiangxi troops and the Anjia army are the same source, the two sides share intelligence, cooperate in operations, and when they encounter a major war, they still stand side by side, and they are the same. With incomparably solid economic and political interests as the foundation, the two sides are naturally consistent in all aspects, so An Yi's visit is not so much to discuss cooperation matters as to visit relatives for a drink. Zhang Hongza's strong support for An Yi and the intimate relationship between the two parties. Any cooperation project only needs a sentence to distinguish rights and responsibilities and interests, and it will be implemented to the letter.

In view of the fact that An Yi's time is precious, he must rush to Xibi as soon as possible to discuss the important matters of the exhibition with his hurricane friend Shi Zhen, Zhang Honggong and his generals can only let Ximei say goodbye at the luncheon, and when he heard An Yi's introduction to the retaliatory action launched by Malei Town, Zhang Hongza and his generals cheered loudly, and they wished that they could also vote to show the spirit of serving the country and the people. Only An Yi complained bitterly, and after this matter was said, Zhang Hongza and Zeng Yaokun, these seniors, became excited, and they didn't let him go, An Yi begged bitterly. said that Brother Shi Zhen was waiting in Bijie's eyes, and if he didn't go, he would lose his trust. Zhang Hongli gave an order to Colonel Zhang Cunhou, the commander of the Second Air Force Regiment and his nephew at the other table, and immediately sent a transport plane to the Tianba Military Airport in Bijie to pick up Shi Zhen and a few old brothers to drink.

An Yi shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Gu Changfeng, meaning to let him say a few words, but Gu Changfeng gloated, saying that Brother Shizhen, it was better for them to come over, and they hadn't been together for a long time. After drinking, it's not too late to fly Bijie together tomorrow, anyway, I can't do anything else except drink when I fly to Bijie today.

Everyone laughed loudly, and at this time, Liang Ziyan, the adjutant of the machine, came to An Yi's side again, handed over the folder, and looked at An Yi happily. An Yi took it, opened it, thought about it, took out a pen, wrote a line of words on it, Liang Ziyan understood it in his heart, and said goodbye respectfully.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the office of the chairman of the Lushan Scraping Camp Committee.

Chairman Jiang finished reading An Yi's return contemplative film. said helplessly to Kong Xiangxi, Ge Jingen, Chen Lifu and Yang Yongtai:

An Yi called back and said he didn't know. Please advise me if I need him to send a team of investigators to southern Yunnan. Now think about it. An Yi's attitude is very reasonable, and there is no evidence. How could he possibly admit it? Of course, we all know in our hearts that even if this thing is really ordered by him, he will push it all out. Alas, "If it hadn't caused such an uproar, I would not have known that he had set up such a large-scale reclamation zone in southern Yunnan, and in more than a year, he had obtained more than 10,000 garrison troops, an engineering corps of tens of thousands of people, and nearly 200,000 victims from all over the country.

"According to the "Frontier Reclamation Order" issued by the central government four years ago and last year to cope with the drought. Order No. 43, which once again encouraged all localities to reclaim the frontier and resettle migrants, there was nothing to question about this move at all, and according to Zhu Yizhi's reply, An Yi had to pay a large amount of rent to the Yunnan provincial government every year. It also supports the industrial and agricultural exhibitions in Qujing. This proves that An Yi's move has been legally recognized by the Yunnan government, and the central government cannot rashly interfere with the relevant bills passed by the Yunnan Provincial Council.

"So no matter what An Yi did in southern Yunnan, how much fertile land he reclaimed, how many mines he found, and how much income he made, we couldn't help him, if he annoyed this little rascal, he dared to ask the central government for a subsidy of 200,000 victims, and even this move would bring him a greater reputation, it was really a headache!"

Hearing Chiang Kai-shek helplessly call An Yi a "little rascal", the public couldn't help but be happy, and thought about it carefully, it is true, now An Yi's family has a great cause, great achievements, and has a very high prestige among the people, and he is willing to give good, in the army, politics and business circles, he has made good connections, quietly did so many dirty things, no one can take him, and dare not publicly accuse him, otherwise he will definitely attract overwhelming criticism from public opinion. behaved in the world to the extent that An Yi wanted to grab his handle and hit him. It is really difficult, and it is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek has a lot of headaches for this.

Chen Lifu asked everyone very suspiciously: "No, how could this kid An Yi choose the Tiangao Emperor to go to southern Yunnan to fly and colonize?" That place is full of itchy snakes and scorpions, there are many ethnic groups, and the terrain is extremely complicated, from the early years of the Republic of China to the present. They are all wild places that cannot be controlled by governments at all levels. It is precisely because the British have seen this point that they have constantly provoked contradictions between various nationalities, and our central government, which has been encroaching on our territory and driving out our border people, has been unable to reach for a long time, but An Yi has taken the initiative to ask for help, and has also taken out a lot of money to rent that place to the Yunnan government. An Yi is a person who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early. This must have a profound meaning. "Brother Zu Yan's words are very reasonable, and that place in southern Yunnan is not only rich in fine wood and traditional silver and copper utensils, but also jade, ivory, and rare furs that are now sought after by wealthy families in the market. It is estimated that General An Yi has a unique vision, and his business methods have not been widely praised by all walks of life across the country for many years? If there were no huge interests in the middle, how could General An have such a large amount of continuous investment? Not to mention anything else, just 200,000 immigrants, according to the minimum standard, each person needs 200 yuan to survive the first year without harvest, and maybe additional investment will have to be made in the second year, and this expenditure alone will cost 40 or 50 million yuan. If it weren't for General Julian, he wouldn't have done that. Yang Yongtai rarely echoed Chen Lifu's view.

Everyone felt that it was very possible, and thought silently. Chiang Kai-shek analyzed the words of the two. I can't help but believe it.

Ge Jingen glanced at everyone and coughed. Huo Ran stood up: "Everyone, I think everyone underestimates General An's personality and bearing. It is true that General An is a person who attaches great importance to interests, and sometimes it can even be said that the lead girl must be compared from the beginning of the Northern Expedition, and the corpses of the enemy are always looted on the battlefield, which is a clear example, otherwise... The public has the vigorous development of today's old Nanchang, Xiangxi and southern Sichuan districts. Heart. Reading the general's reluctance to invest in addition to being driven by interests, this is too much."

"Oh? Tell me about it

Chiang Kai-shek's spirits perked up, no matter how surprised Chen Lifu and Yang Yongtai and others were, he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then nodded at Ge Jingen with a smile, signaling him to come and listen.

Ge Jingen's face was very serious: "In fact, in the past few years, everyone understands how much General An has spent on disaster relief, so don't you say that General An also took out twenty or thirty million to fight the Great Wall?" Is it also about making money? ”

Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, Ge Jingen continued: "A few days before the Honghu Anti-Japanese War, my subordinates and General An discussed the military situation until late at night. I haven't slept for two days and two nights. Everyone was tired and hungry, so General An asked his chief of guard to buy food and drink and take a break.

"Drink to the end. Only his subordinates and General An were left at the banquet. General An drank a little too much at the time. He was in a very low mood, and his subordinates persuaded him a few words. Excited, he pulled his subordinates to the map, waved his hand, and slid from the Bohai Sea to the South China Sea, and then asked his subordinates: Once China and Japan start a full-scale war, our sea routes will definitely be completely blocked by Japanese warships, but fortunately for a short time, if we fight for a long time, if we have a long-term war of resistance, where will we, a country with an annual output of only 70,000 tons of steel and kerosene for lighting at that time, have to import from abroad, to support the war of resistance? ”

The people's interest was immediately aroused. Chiang Kai-shek's face gradually showed a look of enlightenment.

Ge Jingen continued: "At that time, my subordinates said that Soviet Russia would not watch Japan grow stronger, and we could completely pass through Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places. Acquisition of strategic materials from Soviet Russia. General An laughed at the time and asked me if I knew what kind of regime and system Soviet Russia was. Can the capitalist countries of Europe and the United States allow the belief of Soviet Russia to reach out to China? One sentence left his subordinates speechless, because no matter how much you distinguish it, there are great variables. General An didn't wait for his subordinates to react, and suddenly moved his hand to Yunnan on the map, patted it hard, and then returned to his seat with a smile and continued to drink.

This incident made a deep impression on my subordinates, and I thought more about it before cutting the Great Wall, and I also agreed with General An's point of view very much, in case there is really a full-scale war between China and Japan, I am afraid that only the Indo-Burma region is our best strategic material transportation route. Originally, the subordinates were still summarizing and analyzing, and they didn't think about it completely, but after listening to Changqing and Mr. Zu Yan's speculation, they didn't dare to agree, and the subordinates thought that the reason why General An invested so much manpower and material resources in southern Yunnan must be because he had the country and the nation in mind.

"If you think about it carefully, you can understand that southern Yunnan is connected to the French-controlled Shangcha region of Annam. To the south and west it was connected to British-controlled Burma. To the west, you can lead to India, and everyone will slowly appreciate what General An has done.

Chen Guofu and Yang Yongtai glanced at each other and got up. Look closely at the large map heading west.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Kong Xiangxi, who was also moved, stood up and sighed: "This guy makes me love and hate" We don't need to analyze it. The British were definitely taught by him, his style of doing things, I know that you respect him a foot, he respects you, but to Japan and the foreign powers, he is indeed a ruthless man who does business and acts with knives and guns? "The subordinates are here." Ge Jingen stepped forward.

Chiang Kai-shek instructed: "Several of our British advisers were very emotional today, and they came to me together, and they believed that the tragedy of Ma Lei Zhensheng was done by the An Jiajun, and also said that during the Anti-Japanese War in North China, the Anjia Army's special service group already had a criminal record, and that Gu Maniac actually braved the world's condemnation and sent the elite to the rear of the Japanese Sixth Division to poison it, so the British concluded that only the all-encompassing An Jiajun could be so bold and barbaric, because the British also knew that An Yi sent troops into southern Yunnan, which was earlier than I, the chairman of the committee, knew.

"You'll find them later. Call Geng Guang to comfort him, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, he must not give in, if the British do not invade our land, repeatedly test our bottom line, and do not annoy An Yi, how can An Yi be ruthless? If their attitude is not good, the central government will not care, we will pretend to know nothing like An Yi, let General Zhu Yizhi push all the local natives, the British have no way to do this, if they really dare to do it on the Yunnan-Burma border, we will let An Yi deal with it, the British are to send one. Army. It may not be possible to get the slightest benefit, not to mention where did the British get an army now? An Yi only needs to transfer a few special forces to the past, so that the British can't eat and walk around. ”

"Yes! Hold on to your seats! Ge Jingen happily saluted and left.

Chiang Kai-shek turned to Kong Xiangxi: "Yongzhi." After you are busy with the things at hand, you go on a trip, "Nan, when the time comes, I will let General Wenbai go with you." Take my opinions on the adjustment of the military, political, and economic construction in southern Sichuan to see what An Yi has to say. You are Ou Chuer's godfather and An Yi's business collaborator. General Wenbai is An Yi's mentor and has the grace to recreate him, so it is most suitable for you and Wenbai to go to Wenbai for a single article and a martial arts. ”

Kong Xiangxi nodded and agreed: "Understood." When I finished dealing with the disaster relief matters at hand, I immediately cut and left, but the floods in the Yellow River are getting worse and worse.
