The professors of Union Medical College Hospital who were waiting on the stage shook hands with An Yi, Kang Ze and others, and several of them were very happy that An Yi could speak proficient English, and Professor Smith, the vice president, had already learned that An Yi rescued the missionaries, introduced a large number of European and American experts to teach at two universities in Nanchang, established a Jiangnan hospital with leading infrastructure and medical level, and provided free medical treatment for the people. The cheerful Smith had no restraints, and after greeting each other, he joked in public:

The arrival of the general sparked a surprising patriotic upsurge, a gathering of 10,000 people, which is very rare in the United States. May I ask the general, if you have time, can you go on a lecture tour in the United States? ”

An Yi was surprised at first, and then humbly thanked: "Thank you, professor!" Do American youth want to hear the real voice from the East? ”

"Of course! The United States is a very tolerant and well-intentioned country, and I believe that the general also understands this.

。 Smith laughed.

An Yi nodded with a smile: "The professor has been in China for many years, so he should naturally understand the history and current situation of China, and I have touched on some unpleasant international situations in my public speeches in the past six months, and even questioned some practices of the US government, can the professor understand?" ”

Smith shrugged and smiled: "The general can say what he thinks, honesty is a virtue and a moral foundation that Christians must have" Thank you, Mr. Smith, I am touched by your magnanimity and frankness! An Yi politely thanked him, walked into the front row under the guidance of the teachers and students, and politely helped the dean and a few old professors to sit in the center of the rostrum, and he sat in the next position of the dean of education, which once again won warm applause from the teachers and students in the audience.

An Yi walked to the podium decorated with beautiful flowers and five microphones in front of him in warm applause, respectfully saluted all the teachers and students in the audience, and then turned around and stood upright in a soldier-standard manner, saluted the professors and student representatives on the rostrum, turned to the tens of thousands of audience members in the audience, took off his military hat and waited for nearly a minute, the tide of applause stopped before the reporters' cameras were still flashing.

As soon as An Yi spoke, he grabbed the attention of the audience: "It is a great honor for me to stand on the podium of the best Union Medical College in the country!" When I met with the esteemed deans and professors just now, I was filled with awe, respect and gratitude, and I was grateful that the teachers and students had given me this precious opportunity to let a young soldier get together with the teachers and peers. It respects the good character of teachers and students, the diligent pursuit and dissemination of advanced knowledge, such as the respected dean and the dean of education sitting on the rostrum, as well as the professors who have come from Europe and the United States to spread knowledge and build a bridge of friendship, as well as the student cadres of the Pingjin Association of Colleges and Universities, and the students who gathered together for the pursuit of knowledge and life ideals; I am in awe of scientific knowledge, I have always believed that only knowledge is the greatest driving force to change the world and make human beings continue to progress, in the face of vast knowledge, An Yi is like a drop of water in the sea, like a sand on the earth is small and humble. ”

The applause of the audience was thunderous for a long time, and An Yi had to raise his hands to signal everyone to be quiet:

"The day before yesterday at the Normal University, yesterday at Peking University, the teachers and students all wanted to hear the wonderful battles during the Northern Expedition, and I also talked about a few famous battles that I had experienced under the command of the Independent Division. and "Iron Heroes." The soldiers of the Independent Division fought very tenaciously and intelligently, but most people only saw the Independent Division triumphant and victorious again and again to defeat the enemy, but ignored some important issues. ”

An Yi paused slightly, and then said: "The reason why the Independent Division has today's achievements is that the officers and men generally have a lofty patriotic heart, a strong sense of national distress and dedication, so all officers and men can sacrifice their lives for the country and the nation.

For example, there is a soldier from Anhui named Chen Yuan in the engineer company of the model battalion, who came from the Zhilu army when the independent division attacked Yangzhou last year, and he changed into the uniform of our revolutionary army, and cried when he first picked up the meal that their squad leader brought him, and the squad leader asked him what was wrong. Chen Yuan replied that he had eaten meat for the first time in a year, and the squad leader smiled and said let's eat, our model camp can eat meat once in three days, and you will not be surprised in the future. But Chen Yuan's tears still didn't stop, and it happened that Major Li Zhide, the instructor of the model battalion at the time, came over to patrol the camp, and when he saw this situation, he asked what was going on? Chen Yuan pointed to the meat in the bowl and said that he remembered his mother, he had never seen his mother eat a piece of meat since he was a child. As soon as his words came out, all the brothers around him fell silent, and everyone thought of their hometown, their relatives, and the long years of poverty and hardship and having to endure the shameless interrogation of warlords and heroes. Finally, the instructor Li Zhide spoke, and he said, brothers, don't sigh, think about why our relatives have to suffer this sin. After saying that, Li Zhide left, and three days later, Chen Yuan found Li Zhide and said that he understood, Li Zhide smiled and asked him what he understood? Chen Yuan said: If we do not eliminate the warlords and drive out the great powers that invade and enslave our Chinese, our relatives will not have a good life, the country will continue to lag behind, and we will continue to be beaten. Today, Chen Yuan, who was holding a rice bowl and weeping, has grown up, and has made three first-class merits in the past year's battles, and has been promoted to the second lieutenant platoon commander of the model battalion engineer company. That's because we have no knowledge and no culture, because we are backward, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten! ”

The audience of tens of thousands of people was extremely moved, and An Yi continued: "The officers and soldiers of the Independent Division are so simple, they understand that they are fighting for the motherland and their relatives, so they have no regrets, and at the same time, the continuous equipment of new weapons and new tools makes the officers and soldiers understand the importance of knowledge.

I can proudly tell you that the literacy rate of the officers and men of the Independent Division is the highest in the national revolutionary army, from the beginning of the "model battalion" to the ridicule, the soldiers of the makeup division have never stopped cultural learning, and now they can read the instructions of weapons and equipment, can skillfully recite military regulations and military discipline codes, can write their own letters, and ask their relatives in their hometowns to ask for peace and security, although many brothers write crookedly, but they are making progress every day and are accepting new knowledge and new skills. They know the importance of knowledge, know that an army without knowledge and no culture is a backward army, and know that if they are backward, they will be beaten, so they are working hard every day, and it is for this kind of effort that the independent division has become an excellent fighting collective, they not only have a firm belief in serving the country, but also have the spirit of unremitting self-improvement, so they always walk in front of the enemy and win victory after victory! ”

The earth-shattering applause rang out again, and the deans and professors on the rostrum were full of solemn faces, and frequently sighed that they finally knew where the strong combat power and the source of faith of the independent division came from. In the crowd of thousands in the wide venue, several pairs of cold eyes were watching An Yi on the stage from three directions, the more than a dozen guards waiting under the stage, and the reporters who kept shuttling and shuttling, as if they were not affected by An Yi's speech at all.

An Yi waited for the applause to stop, and then cleverly changed the topic: "The day before yesterday, several reporters and friends from Tianjin's "Ta Kung Pao" jokingly asked me where An Yi got so much money? Not only has it set up Jiangnan Medical College and Jiangnan University of Technology, which are first-class in China in terms of scale and facilities, invited more than 700 experts and professors at home and abroad to give advice, but also funded three batches of more than 150 intellectual young people to study in Europe and the United States. It can't be stealing and robbing, right? ”

The audience burst into laughter, and An Yi explained with a smile: "I heard that many countries in Europe and the United States have such a habit, don't ask people's age when you meet a woman, don't ask someone else's income when you meet a man, otherwise it's rude, but our ancient China has its own characteristics, and asking about age and income also contains factors of concern, for example, when I was shopping on Qianmen Street yesterday afternoon, more than one kind and kind citizen of Beiping greeted me and asked me if I had eaten?" I looked at my watch at exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't know how to answer it accurately, and the audience burst into laughter, but An Yi was very serious: "I thought about it for a long time in bed last night, and slowly figured it out" Did you eat, the profound meaning of this sentence is not just an ordinary greeting, but also contains this kind of worry in it, because in this era of hunger and cold, thousands of our compatriots work like cattle and horses but can't eat, and they have to endure the heavy taxes of warlords from time to time. They also had to endure frenzied plundering and even gratuitous harm like the Japanese invaders, so it is not surprising that this question was asked and a habit was formed. ”

The audience was embarrassed, An Yi continued: "Compared with thousands of compatriots, I An Yi is lucky, from a homeless homeless man to a man in a famous business house in Guangzhou, and then through his own mechanical knowledge luckily dug up the first pot of gold in his life, due to the "Ta Kung Pao" reporter friend I can not avoid the inquiry, I have to tell you the reason for my first pot of gold truthfully: you may have seen the new sewing machine made in Germany, which is the kind of lightweight foot sewing machine that has been popular in the past two years, There is also the moving head electric fan in the reception room of the college, the multi-functional sapper shovel that has been used by the world's leading teams in the past two years, and several machinery and tools that have been produced and sold abroad and have not yet been introduced in our country, which I designed and made before joining the army, and the result was fortunate to be adopted by the German Lu Lin Foreign Company, and the patent income paid to me by Lu Lin Commercial Bank became the first pot of gold in my life, and then the first pot of gold was invested in the Nanyang enterprise of Mr. Ou Yaoting, an industrialist in Guangdong and Hong Kong, to produce shoes under your feet. Cinchona cream medicine for the treatment of dysentery and anti-inflammatory, after joining the army, I had a lot of auxiliary equipment to be improved in the battle, so I designed a variety of new military clothing, tools, equipment, shoes and hats, and at the same time used the investment income in the Nanyang factory to form the Jiangnan Group Enterprise with Shanghai and Jiangnan industrialists to produce new products I designed, and my wealth gradually increased.

In the end, it's all due to knowledge! It is knowledge that has increased my wealth, made my catty, a good wish come true, so that the hospital set up in the old Nanchang, Jiangnan Medical College, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology in just over a year from scratch, so that I can sponsor a worried about the country and the people full of outstanding knowledge of the heart to study in Europe and the United States, after they learn the advanced technology and knowledge of the West, they will come back to build their own motherland, and I and the whole of China love their own country and love their own nation of aspiring young people, for the establishment of an independent, prosperous, We will strive to stabilize and prosper the country. ”

The applause rang out like a sea of applause, and An Yi immediately ended his speech: "Mr. Zhongshan said that whoever has youth will have the future, which shows the importance of youth. Commander-in-Chief Chiang, General Feng Yuxiang, Mr. Cai Yuanpei, and others have also said that young people are the most powerful and surging force full of revolutionary vitality and vigor in China, and China's intellectual youth are the mainstay of this force.

Today's China not only needs a capable and powerful army led by the central government and subordinated to the interests of the people of the whole country, but also needs teachers, doctors, engineers, technicians, scientific researchers, industrialists, and intellectual talents.

In this sense, whether on the battlefield or in the classroom, we are all fighting for a better tomorrow for the motherland. Finally, An Yi sent a message to all friends as an encouragement: life is not stopped, and the fight is endless! ”

"Life is not stopped, the battle is endless! Life is not endless, the battle is endless! Life is not stopped,"

An Yi's encouragement was shouted in unison by tens of thousands of people, the sound shook for nine days, endlessly, and the teachers and students on the rostrum also stood up excitedly and shouted these eight words, An Yi left the podium and walked to the side of the stage, raised his hand to salute thousands of extremely enthusiastic teachers and students, and hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters flocked to the stage to take pictures.

In the crowded and chaotic group of reporters, a female reporter with a charming face and a slender figure squeezed forward desperately, and when she saw An Yi turning around on the spot to salute the teachers and students on the rostrum and was about to leave, she suddenly pushed away the two photojournalists in front of her, threw away the camera in her hand, raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at An Yi's vest and pulled the trigger.

Streams of blood shot out from An Yi's vest, An Yi's tall body stiffened suddenly, and then fell backwards and fell off the high platform, Lin Yaodong, the head of the guard under the stage, shouted in horror and flew towards An Yi's whereabouts figure, the deputy head of the guard, Chen Mian, roared, and rushed to the muzzle of the gun that continued to stretch forward like lightning, and used his thick chest to block the bullets of the three evils,
