Chapter 804: A Painful Choice
readx;
An Yi and his family came downstairs neatly dressed, and saw the new major generals Du Yi and Xia Jian and other brothers wearing straight uniforms standing up and saluting, and then remembered that before they left Beiping, they called Du Yi to come to Nanjing urgently, and hurriedly returned the salute, and then greeted each other warmly.

Du Yi and Xia Jian knew that An Yi and his wife were going to Chairman Jiang's family for a banquet, so they could only hurriedly say a few words, handed over a file, and An Yi said that they would go out in a hurry when I came back to have a good chat.
As soon as he and his wife got into the car, he asked Shen Fengdao in the front row to bring a flashlight from the toolbox, smiled apologetically at Feng Jieyun on the side, and immediately took out the document in the back seat and read it carefully.
After An Yi finished reading and put the documents in the file, the car had already come to the gate and stopped.
An Yi and his wife greeted Jiang Xiaoxian, who came to greet them, and entered the hall with Feng Jieyun's hand, and at a glance, they saw Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen and his wife sitting on the sofa and talking in a low voice.
Feng Jieyun apologized softly, ran to Song Meiling's side, spit out her pink tongue, and made amends again. An Yi respectfully saluted Chiang Kai-shek and reported in a low voice.
For An Yi's late arrival, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife were not unhappy, Song Ziwen smiled and said that he had only arrived for a few minutes, and he didn't say a few words, so everyone walked to the side hall and sat down next to Fan Zhuo in turn.
You went to Hangzhou last night. Jiang Geshi asked kindly.
An Yi didn't tell anyone about this, including Feng Jieyun, so he could only vaguely answer that he had seen Governor Lu Yong'an, and rushed back early this morning. ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, didn't ask anything more, signaled that dinner began, everyone was casual.
An Yi didn't know if Chiang Kai-shek knew about himself and Gong Qian, so he could only continue to pretend to be confused, raise a glass with everyone, and start eating after taking a sip.
When everyone had eaten almost enough, Ji Ziwen asked about the detailed process of the Jianchang Battle in Western Liaoning, and everyone immediately came to an interest when they heard it, and they all looked at An Yi with concern.
An Yi did not have any prevarication, and immediately asked Gu Changfeng and Lu Yixuan how to attack Jianchangfei, how Hu Jialin used an independent division to suddenly go out, how to make a feint, how to deal with Zhao Rui's overall planning, how to fight bravely in a division. The whole process of how to get in the way and quickly move to Kuancheng was reported in detail. Finally, I also made a special mention of the Xifeng Pass with the town guard. The 29th Army of Song Zhewu on the front line of Luo Wenyu eliminated the accumulated grievances. The process of greatly improving the relationship did not miss the fact that he gave a batch of mortars and heavy machine guns as a greeting gift.
Everyone cheered in unison, and Chiang Kai-shek looked pleased. In the end, he said with great emotion that this battle was fought well, and he annihilated more than 2,600 Japanese invaders, and only killed and wounded more than 900 soldiers, which can be called the most enjoyable victory since the battle, and more importantly, this time, the Xiongguan and other inside and outside cooperated with each other, and the clever plan suddenly launched a rapid battle of less than four hours, successfully breaking the overall plan of the Japanese army, and the conspiracy of the Kwantung Army to attack all the way went bankrupt, which not only won valuable time for the deployment of our army's troops, but also greatly relieved the pressure on the officers and men of the Northeast Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and its strategic contribution was extraordinary。 Hu Jialin, who is good at fighting, is not inferior to fate, and that Lu Yixuan is not bad, and his 17th Division has gone through this battle. It will rise to a higher level, and basically has stepped into the ranks of the elite divisions of my Yellow Capture line, which is gratifying."
Song Ziwen, who has always had a tough attitude towards Japan, is quite envious, but it is a pity that the tax police corps is shouldering the heavy task of tax administration, otherwise I really want the soldiers to go to the front line in North China to exercise and exercise. The last time several regiments that had gone through the test of the 129 Great War came back, their mental outlook and self-confidence have undergone gratifying changes, and it can be seen that going through a war is more conducive to going through a war than to be trained for two years. ”
An Yi said with a smile that the brothers who led the soldiers in the army all said that the soldiers who had killed people wore the same clothes as the soldiers who had not killed people. Standing there with the same weapon, you can see at a glance where the difference is, this inner quality of spirit. You can't pretend to be anything. ”
Feng Jieyun and Zhang Leyi listened to it with relish, and Song Meiling frowned slightly, and said Don't be so detailed, are you still eating, Chiang Kai-shek. Song Ziwen and An Yicai smiled and put away the topic.
After dinner, she moved the dishes, and Song Meiling instructed her subordinates to bring fragrant tea and fruits directly, and everyone sat together and continued to chat.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had just returned from an inspection, readily agreed, and after talking about the affairs of the North China front, then about the suppression of the Communists in Jiangxi, and finally about the fourth part of the peace progress that had just been taken. During the exchange of more than one time, not only the specific problems of the civil war and the foreign war were discussed, but also the political impact caused by the war, the serious damage and heavy burden caused to the national economy, and the feelings of everyone became heavy.
An Yi thought about it, but still felt uncomfortable, so he simply felt uncomfortable, so he told Chiang Kai-shek the news he had just received
The principal and students learned from Xia Jian and Du Yi, who rushed to the south to report on their work, that the Red Army's He Long's headquarters quietly broke out of the encirclement of five divisions in western Hubei and southwestern Hubei yesterday, and yesterday suddenly captured Sangzhi in northwest Hunan Province.
General Zhang Hongqin was furious, and he had already instructed Zhang Cunzhuang, the lieutenant general of the 44th Army, to personally lead two main divisions to the southern garrison under the command of Yang Cheng in the two counties. A division of the 24th Army of Yin Jinan's younger brother also entered a state of combat readiness, and the deep dinosaur department suddenly attacked south, and the southern line.
The students were worried that the Helong Department saw the arrival of the main force of the 44th Army, took the initiative to abandon Xiangxi and sneak into the border area between western Hubei and the east, so that the 44th Army could make peace, and the southern departments had no choice, after all, the western Hubei and the east were the defense areas of the two generals Liu Xiang and Liu Enmao, and the southern troops could not cross the border. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble. In the current time of internal and external difficulties, it is better to have more than one thing.
Song Ziwen's eyes widened, looking very surprised, Chiang Kai-shek was quite annoyed after being shocked, and said... Erlie Xiang) was worried about the loss of his own nest and hurriedly moved the two divisions of the Encirclement and Spita Gan back to the east to deal with the flow to deal with the flow to the north, and Xu Xiangqian in the north made the remnants of He Long desperate.
He Long was originally from the Sang Zhiren clan, this is like letting the tiger return to the mountain, there are endless hidden dangers, Liu Enmao's 65th Division has already entered the northeast to encircle and suppress Xu Xiangqian, and the Enshi area is very empty, if He Long's division takes the opportunity to go west to Enshi, and then want to encircle him, it will be difficult.
This Liu Chengfu is extremely selfish and selfish, without a little view of the overall situation, a warlord is a warlord, and Shui Yuan can't become an excellent commander."
Song Meiling gently grabbed Chiang Kai-shek's hand and whispered to him to calm his anger, Song Ziwen leaned back, shook his head on the back of the chair, and this is good. I'm afraid that the taxes in western Hubei will be in vain again, and the people in the Hubei provincial government have an excuse to delay the tax payable, which is a headache."
An Yi wanted to ask Song Ziwen when he would allocate the military funds for the Anti-Japanese War, but the generals were embarrassed to urge this scene, so he could only pick up the teacup and remain silent.
Song Ziwen did not mean to be silent. In front of Chiang Kai-shek, he asked An Yi for his opinion, can An Yi lend me 10 million first. After half a year, you will pay the full amount of interest on the previous public bond. ”
An Yi was so frightened that he shivered. I said that the chief of finance and the lower officials have not yet asked you for the military salaries, grain and grass and other expenses of the 50,000 soldiers who went north in the headquarters in the north, but you actually asked the lower officials to borrow money, did you see that I was so anxious that I ran back from Beiping to ask for money, and you came up with this method to shut my mouth. That's too bullying."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it, but Song Ziwen shook his head very seriously, you don't know, the government is now in debt of nearly 100 million, and if you don't borrow this money to tide over the difficulties, I'm afraid it will go bankrupt.
Originally, I was embarrassed to open this mouth to you. Before the end of last year, I had already borrowed 40 million yuan from your Jiangnan Group and the National Bank, and I thought that this money would last until the next loan period of the Bank of Eight Group in early January. However, the huge military expenditure cannot be left unpaid, and due to frequent civil strife, the taxes that cannot be collected are as high as more than 40 million, so I have to beg you with all my heart, and I am here today for this matter. Celebrating your success is secondary. ”
Okay, you just sell me. Sell the whole or cut the piecemeal as you like," An Yi smiled angrily.
Seeing An Yi's scoundrel appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh again, Feng Jieyun quietly squeezed An Yi's hand to remind him to pay attention to this, but An Yi still went his own way, leaning on the back of the chair and posing as if he was waiting for you to go under the knife, which made everyone laugh non-stop. Jiang Xiaoxian on the side and the subordinates who stood up couldn't help but laugh.
Chiang Kai-shek held back a smile, wiped his mouth with a white napkin, and looked solemnly at An Yiziwen, who would not ask for help until he had to, he was indeed very difficult, you also know that the New Year is approaching, and all major consortia are taking stock of the statistics, and many funds are not able to be recovered in time, and it is difficult to borrow money, even if you can borrow a few million, you can't solve the fundamental problem. After much discussion, we believe that only you can help the country and the government through the current difficulties, so you should seriously consider it. ”
Hearing Lao Jiang say this, An Yi had to sit down again, think about it, and walked directly to the telephone in the living room, making long-distance calls for more than half an hour. put down the phone and turned around, only to find that there was no one at the dining table, thinking that Feng Jieyun must have gone upstairs with Zhang Leyi and Song Meiling to say their own words. Without thinking about it, he turned around and walked to the study.
Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen were already sitting on the sofa in the study and discussing something in a low voice. The two saw An Yi come in, smiled slightly, Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the teacup on the table, and told An Yi to sit down and talk slowly.
An Yi sat down upright, and reported in a low voice that tomorrow Zhou Chongan would personally bring 8 million, and within one day, 12 million could be transferred from our special funds for the construction of the Syria-Zhaotong railway. Within a week, my father-in-law will transfer 10 million from Nanyang. In this way, there will be 10 million, let me say okay first, that's so much money, if you want it any more, you can only wait until mid-February, and the year-end dividends that students get from American companies are about 12 million, and they originally wanted to buy hydroelectric power units and a batch of weapons manufacturing equipment. Aircraft manufacturing equipment and an alloy refining plant were used in the southern region. It seems that it will have to be delayed until the second half of the year
Thank you."
Song Ziwen said thank you to An Yi for the first time.
An Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. You are also for the whole country and for this government. If the country and the government really go bankrupt. I and the thousands of brothers on the front line don't know who to fight for, and it's difficult for everyone."
Song Ziwen was very moved, Chiang Kai-shek sighed, and wanted to tell the good news that the Military Commission had studied and passed An Yi's promotion to second-class general, but he felt that it was inappropriate to tell An Yi at this time and on this occasion. After thinking about it, I finally asked with concern if there was anything I could help me with.
An Yi thought to himself, I just came back to ask for money, and now that the money has not arrived, it has been loaned out of 10 million, what else can I ask for.
But after thinking about it, An Yi didn't dare to say it, or he honestly stated his sentence in order to seek Chiang Kai-shek's support, and the students estimated that they could temporarily overcome the current difficulties, and there were still 70,000 tons of imported flour in the Hukou grain reserve warehouse, and the students hoped that the Ministry of Railways would do their best to help send it to the Langfang Military Station as soon as possible. First solve the problem of eating the armies on the front line of the Great Wall, and then say that it is really not enough, the student asks the principal to contact Kang Bai to see if he can sell me 100,000 tons of grain from the former enemy headquarters, I don't want to give money, he Yan Laoxi'er definitely said that there is no food."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, this is easy, and one order can make the Ministry of Railways handle it with all its might. Yan Bai is also easy to deal with, let Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi) go to the meeting, and quickly handle what else is there. ”
Nope. ”
After An Yi answered, he slowly picked up the teacup, thinking of Nan Jianjian, who had been delayed for this, his heart was like a knife cut
