Chapter 1196 is not enviable, it is mediocre
"! Who is so awesome? ā
"Shut up! Didn't you see General Cixiu and Mr. Chen Bui standing there waiting? It's Senior Brother An's plane, you kid can be arrogant in front of me, but don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders, if it really reaches Senior Brother An's ears, you just wait to suffer.

An Yi's special plane landed amid the discussion of the two garrison officers at Fenghua Airport, taxied to the end of the runway, turned around, and slowly drove towards the small tarmac.
In the cold wind, Chen Cheng tightened the wind and discipline button on his tweed coat, and walked with Chen Bui to the special plane that lowered the gangway, and saw An Yi's adjutant Shen Fengdao take the lead in getting off the plane, Chen Cheng politely raised his hand and waved it.
Shen Fengdao walked over quickly, saluted, nodded to Chen Bui, and stood sideways to Chen Cheng's side.
An Yi, who was wearing a brown and yellow general's coat, strode over, stood up and saluted, laughed, grabbed Chen Cheng's hand and made two jokes at random, turned to Chen Bui and saluted, and then stretched out his hands to hold Chen Bui's hand tightly.
Chen Bui smiled humorously: "General An, don't be so polite, make it look like receiving foreign heads of state." ā
An Yi opened his eyes wide, staring at Chen Bui, who never joked, and saw the sincere smile on Chen Bui's face, he immediately understood that this was a subtle expression of the shortening of the distance between each other, smiled happily, and patted his head: "It's the little brother who has seen the outside, hehe!" I didn't expect Mr. Lao and Brother Ci to wait, the younger brother was flattered and moved inexplicably, don't blame Mr! ā
"Come on, tell someone else." Chen Cheng came up and gave An Yi a punch.
Chen Bui looked behind An Yi: "Hey, just you and Adjutant Shen?" ā
"What? Mr. wants to introduce Fenghua beauties to his younger brother? An Yi quipped.
Chen Bui smiled dumbly, let go of An Yi's hand, walked to Shen Fengdao, who was already very familiar, and invited Shen Fengdao to ride in the same car with him.
Chen Cheng motioned for An Yi to board the second car with him, and while talking and laughing, the car drove out of the airport and headed for Xikou. Chen Cheng put away his smile and asked in a low voice, "Have you explained the affairs of North China clearly?" ā
"There's nothing important in North China for the time being, you should trust the abilities of Beard and Brother Yisheng...... Why did you suddenly ask about this? Is there a new directive from the principal? An Yi kept a smile on his face.
Chen Cheng shook his head: "It's okay, I'm asking this because I want you to stay for a few more days, and there are many things to discuss with you." From yesterday to now, the principal's mood has been very low, you know, the principal's brother just passed away at the end of last month, yesterday we went to worship with the principal, this morning as soon as we arrived at Xikou, we saw Brother Ziwen who had just rushed over, the principal and Brother Ziwen talked for a while, and the two still couldn't talk together. Brother Ziwen seems to have something on his mind, before I came to pick you up, he asked me when you would arrive, and I guess there was something to look for you. ā
"What can he do? After Chen Jitang stepped down, wasn't Guangzhou's monetary reform completed very well? The younger brother is doing much better than Guangdong, what can he do? If you want to talk about drinking or getting rich together, it's okay, but if you say borrow money, you don't have to talk about it, let's not wait. An Yi replied with a smile.
Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile: "You, you're still so optimistic, not bad!" Hey, by the way, let me ask you, do you want to occupy Hanzhong for a long time? ā
An Yi was slightly surprised: "What?" One of the younger brother's divisions had to be temporarily stationed there because they wanted to stop the teaching corps and the Northeast Army's roommates, and now the younger brother has spent a lot of military money, not to mention, he has to appease the local people and pave the way for the local fathers and elders to build bridges. Does the eldest brother also think that it is inappropriate for one of the younger brother's divisions to be stationed in Hanzhong? ā
"No, I'm guessing it myself, I'll tell you a secret, the commission wants to set up a camp in Hanzhong to contain the Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's headquarters stationed in the northwest, and they can't let them do anything wrong. What's more serious is that the infiltration and corrosion of these two parts has intensified, and it has reached the point where the central government can no longer bear it, do you know? Chen Cheng replied solemnly.
An Yi understood: "In this way, the division left by the younger brother is still meritorious?" ā
Chen Cheng nodded: "Yes, especially the matter of firmly controlling Hanzhong Airport, which won the heart of the principal, and yesterday the principal praised you for your keen vision." Not to mention anything else, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Fan Songfu, who has made meritorious contributions to the king of diligence, will also serve as the director of the camp, but this person's position is vague, brave and unscrupulous, the foolish brother is not optimistic about him, and the principal is also hesitating. I want to ask you, if the Hanzhong camp is set up, who do you think is the right person to be the director of the camp? ā
An Yi looked at Chen Cheng's eyes: "Big brother, if you have anything to say, as long as the eldest brother says a word, the younger brother will definitely support it!" ā
Chen Cheng was moved in his heart, but there was a reproachful smile on his face: "Xiao Yi, where do you want to go?" It's not that the foolish brother wants to be this director, you also know that the foolish brother has too many positions now, and the affairs in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo are much more important than this, I am so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, where do I still want to be the director of this camp? However, such an important position is related to the overall situation of Sichuan-Shaanxi anti-Japanese resistance, and I am not willing to let people who are not of the same heart as us to sit in charge, otherwise it is very likely to add trouble to us in the future. So, Brother Fool wants to ask for your opinion, and I hope you recommend someone to come out, understand? ā
An Yi's heart turned a thousand times, and he pondered for a long time before he asked in a low voice: "Big brother, let's say it directly, who do you have a crush on?" ā
"Okay, then I'm welcome, my senior brother Baoding, how is your right-hand man, Yang Bin?" Chen Cheng asked with a smile.
An Yi was really taken aback this time: "Big brother, aren't you embarrassed little brother?" You also know that the younger brother's southern Yunnan is all under the command of Yang Bin, if you ......"
"Yes, I know it all!"
Chen Cheng interrupted An Yi's words: "But don't forget, in addition to consolidating and developing southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, you still have a lot to do, and the overall planning is inseparable from you. And the principal values Yang Bin very much, and has mentioned several times that he wants to reuse this kind of person who is full of talent but does practical things in a down-to-earth manner, can you understand the meaning? ā
An Yi was stunned for a moment, sighed, and sighed very much: "Understood!" Yang Bin can go to the next level, it's too late for the younger brother to be happy, if he knows that the eldest brother is so supportive of him, he will be deeply grateful and remember it in his heart. ā
Chen Cheng waved his hand: "I don't want him to be grateful and remembered, but to recommend talents for the party-state." Okay, let's not talk about this topic, and after we meet at Ci'an later, we will go up the mountain with the principal to worship. Remember, you have to be careful when talking to the principal, don't be arrogant, I guess...... I guess the principal will have a lot to ask you, you have to be cautious and answer carefully, understand? ā
An Yi smiled helplessly: "Little brother knows, isn't this a deliberate invitation to Jing?" It's okay, I'm already mentally prepared, whatever the principal asks, the younger brother will answer, and he will never hide it. Big brother, you also know that in front of the principal, who dares to tell a lie? ā
Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing, pointed at An Yi and said, "You guy, no wonder Madame likes you so much." Let's not talk about it, let's have a good chat in the evening, I need to listen to your opinions on many things, especially in the military, without your participation, the foolish brother is really not at ease. ā
An Yi was not polite, but chose to be silent, looking at the scenery that kept passing by outside the car window, but his mind flew to the next moment of boundlessness. The car stopped at the dismount pavilion, An Yi got out of the door, quickly sorted out the instrument, accompanied by Chen Cheng and Chen Bui, strode towards Ci'an, and the attendants and guards along the way saluted and smiled at An Yi, and An Yi also smiled back as before.
Outside the gate of Ci'an, Yu Jishi and Wang Shihe strode up to greet An Yi, finished saluting An Yi, and took An Yi's hand and entered the main hall.
On both sides of the main hall, more than a dozen Chiang Kai-shek's confidants who were sitting and chatting in a low voice saw An Yi's arrival, stood up one after another, and surrounded them to greet him warmly.
After a moment of greeting, Song Meiling walked from the left aisle, and everyone immediately retreated, making way for a space.
An Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Good master!" ā
"Good, good!"
Song Meiling looked happy, her eyes were moist, she stepped forward to take a closer look at An Yi's face, raised her hand lovingly, brushed away the snowflakes on An Yi's shoulders, and casually sorted out the slightly upturned coat lapels for An Yi: "It's good to come, is it smooth along the way?" ā
An Yi was moved to a slightly sour nose, and a unique family affection made his heart warm: "Thank you, teacher, the journey was very smooth, the students flew directly from Baoding, and it took more than two hours to arrive, and I felt very relaxed." ā
"That's good, come, I'll accompany you to meet your principal, we went back to Nanjing and heard that you have returned to North China, and I was sad for a long time......"
Song Meiling naturally took An Yi's arm and entered the living room on the left, making dozens of civil and military officials in the main hall both envious and jealous, and many people saw An Yi's rapid rise and unshakable majestic status from Song Meiling's attitude towards An Yi.
Chiang Kai-shek had already heard the movement in the main hall and knew that An Yi was coming, so he was mentally prepared in advance, but when he saw An Yi coming in accompanied by Song Meiling, and standing straight in front of him as before, saluting upright, Chiang Kai-shek was excited, and a flush surged in his eyes. He walked up step by step from behind the desk, stood in front of An Yi, and nodded frequently: "Okay, it looks pretty good." ā
"Headmaster......
An Yi saw that the tired and thin Chiang Kai-shek was moved by his true feelings, and his heart was also very excited, in a trance, tears moistened his eyes, no matter how much there were differences between each other politically, Chiang Kai-shek at this time was like a respected elder who loved his younger generations in An Yi's eyes, and he seemed sincere and amiable more than ever.
Song Meiling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "Finally met, let's sit down and talk slowly." Xiao Yi, I'll make you a cup of tea, we have a lot of things to ask you. ā
An Yi was just about to make tea for himself, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and motioned An Yi to walk to the sofa, and after sitting down, Chiang Kai-shek asked kindly:
"The 'decapitation operation' you carried out in the Xilingol League is very wonderful and extremely shocking. Before I left Nanjing, I was approached by the head of the advisory group, Forgenhausen, who spoke highly of the operation and repeatedly asked for a detailed report and summary of the entire operation, and I was very proud! Let's talk about it, there is only an approximation in the telegram, and I want to know the whole process. ā
Song Meiling handed the hot tea to An Yi, who stood up, signaled An Yi not to be restrained, walked to Chiang Kai-shek and sat down, and waited with interest for An Yi's answer.
An Yi put down the cup, reported in detail the entire process of the operation from planning to implementation, and briefly said the analysis and summary of the action by himself and Hu Jialin and others, and finally explained very humbly:
āā¦ā¦ The reason why this operation went so smoothly was due to the Air Force's reconnaissance and aerial photography of the Suicha Outer Mongolia region over the past few months, the coordination between General Fu Zuoyi and the officers and men of the 17 th Army, and the unremitting intelligence gathering and countermeasures behind enemy lines in the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters over the past few years. It's a pity that he didn't catch the king of Germany and the commander of the Han Righteous Army, Wang Shouxin, and failed to get rid of the Japanese army's secret service stationed in the puppet Mongolian army, Chang Shengdao Kakufang, leaving a lot of regrets. ā
Where is Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling not satisfied? Song Meiling was so nervous that she still didn't put down her hand that covered her heart, and she was so excited that she praised An Yi's preparations and the courage of the soldiers of the "Blue Fox Brigade", and praised An Yi embarrassed.
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied: "Well done, well done!" It can be seen that your theory and practice of special warfare have risen to a new level, which is richer, more comprehensive, and more powerful! A surprise decapitation operation that went deep into the tiger's den was eye-opening and deeply touching, especially the airborne and aircraft response, which was well-organized and creative, and very remarkable! ā
An Yi hesitated for a moment, but still reported truthfully: "Principal, there is something that the students dare not hide, among the twenty-nine people who participated in this operation, four of them are exchange students of the German Army, they are eager to fight, and the students have the courage to approve it, and they have also made a plan for this, if the operation fails or is in distress, their identity will become White Russian instructors in the student army." Before the operation, all four of them signed a life and death certificate, so ......"
Song Meiling looked at Chiang Kai-shek in surprise, Chiang Kai-shek nodded solemnly, thought for a moment, and comforted in harmony:
"It's okay, soldiers, I don't have so many scruples, my son Jingguo stayed in the Soviet Union for thirteen years, and didn't he also serve in the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army during this period? The Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Union had three local wars with the Japanese Kwantung Army, which invaded our northeast, and didn't Jingguo also go to the battlefield and experience a rain of bullets? What's more, this time you are very well prepared, and the Germans strongly asked to participate, and you also signed a life and death certificate, even if something happens, you will have an explanation.
"But I think I'm afraid that these four Germans have obtained their approval to go to the top, and they insist on participating in the idea of going through actual combat and testing the results of their training. After the Spring Festival, the Central Military Commission will hold an award ceremony for the generals and colonels at all levels who won the victory at Bailingmiao, as well as all the special team members, operation planning and command personnel, and air force pilots participating in the Xilin Gol operation, and the outstanding units will be awarded commendations and flags, but in order to avoid diplomatic trouble, these four Germans cannot show their faces, and you can only let you award them the fifth-class Baoding Medal. ā
An Yi was very surprised when he heard that it was the Baoding Medal. This kind of medal is incomparably noble, the rank is very high, symbolizing the country's cherishing as a ding, the light of honor is shining, the object of the award is the navy, army and air force soldiers who defend against foreign aggression or deter civil strife, and make outstanding military exploits, the conditions are very high, so far the whole army has no more than 200 people below the rank of general, all the air force officers and men and 29 officers and men of the "Blue Fox Brigade" who participated in the operation this time have all been obtained, which shows that this action is very important in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek and colleagues in the Central Military Commission, far exceeding An Yi's previous expectations.
An Yi couldn't speak, Jiang Xiaozhen's report outside the door sounded, Chiang Kai-shek called "come in", and learned that the sacrificial ceremony was basically ready, so he stood up and ordered Song Meiling to go to the cemetery to have a look, and finally instructed An Yi:
"You follow me, let's go up again after tea, there are some things that I can't decide, and I need to listen to your opinion."
"Yes!"
An Yi stood up to see Song Meiling away, sat down again at Chiang Kai-shek's signal, and took a big sip of hot tea.
