In the face of secret reports related to people's livelihood, An Yi felt extremely guilty. In more than any previous large-scale civil war, no matter what, An Yi could not shirk the responsibility of fueling the rapid changes, but An Yi was convinced that his choice was not wrong, in line with the principle that long pain is better than short pain, An Yi must do it no matter how painful and guilty An Yi is, otherwise in the next few years, it will still be a situation of division, and the old folks will still have to suffer from the warlords' records, the torture of war and famine every year.

The door of the office of Director He Guoguang of Yichang Xingying was closed, An Yi brought Chief of Staff Zhao Rui to meet with He Guoguang, He Guoguang personally cut tea for An Yi and the two, whispered a few words and walked into the inner room, and brought out the secret arrival of Liu Xiang's envoys Qiao Yifu and Tang Shizun to meet An Yi An Yi looked very surprised, and after a stunned moment, he politely greeted and shook hands, and humbly invited the two guests to sit down.

"Commander An, the two distinguished guests just arrived in the early morning, and because of the high stakes, I can only send someone to invite you early.

The thing is like this, due to the stalemate in the war between J and China, the generals of the Baoding department, who were originally in principle in the camp with the Fu Company, swayed again, and Liu Ziqian (Liu Wenhui) also stepped up the secret bribery and division, promising the Gongsi to divide the benefits of salt tax and sugar tax, which made the good situation of Fu Gong become confusing in a blink of an eye, and the fierce battle lasted for two months, and the consumption of soldiers and weapons and ammunition under Fu Gong was large, so it was difficult to end the civil war within expectation and give the people of Bashu a tranquility.

At this moment, the people's grievances in various parts of China are boiling, and they are advocating peace, and celebrities and elders from all over the country have also come out to call for peace talks, but if there is an armistice at this moment, the entire "four" will continue to return to the state of fragmentation of all sides, and tens of millions of people will once again be in dire straits.

Therefore, while sending a telegram asking for the support of the central enemy government and the commander-in-chief, Fu Gong very much hoped that Commander An's Fifth Army could help, and today specially sent Mr. Yun Song and General Tang to visit and discuss the solution with Commander An. He Guoguang did not beat around the bush, and calmly said the intentions of the two guests.

An Yi and his chief of staff Zhao Rui glanced at each other, nodded and groaned, turned to his old acquaintance Tang Shizun, and said with some embarrassment,

"General Tang, this matter really makes the little brother feel embarrassed! General Tang also knew that the transfer of a soldier and a soldier across jurisdictions must obtain the permission of the General Headquarters, and even if the younger brother wants to help, he can't do it! Tang Shizun smiled slightly, "Brother An, as long as you are willing, presumably Commander-in-Chief Jiang will also agree, Duke Fu is the only legitimate leader of the four regions appointed by the central government and Commander-in-Chief Jiang, and the rebellion is only carried out with the permission of the central government, at this critical moment, presumably Commander-in-Chief Jiang will not disagree with Brother An to lead his troops to support, and Brother An is not a person who is rigid, right?" "This ......, General Tang, the little brother really feels embarrassed! It is better to ask Fu Gong to call Commander-in-Chief Chiang to submit one or two, without the commander-in-chief's edict, the younger brother will not dare to take the charge of transferring the army without authorization! An Yi shook his head again and again, feeling deeply embarrassed.

Qiao Yifu asked, "General An, I have heard that General An has a deep friendship with General Zhang Hongza of the 44th Army in Xiangxi, and General Zhang Hongqin does not distinguish between good and evil, regardless of morality, and repeatedly sells a large number of weapons, ammunition and materials to the rebellious Liu Wenhui Department, resulting in the crumbling Liu Wenhui Department being able to survive and resist stubbornly. An Yi looked at Tang Shizun in surprise, "Is it really something?" "It's true! The 44th Army did sell a large number of weapons and ammunition to Liu Wenhui's troops, and even large-caliber mortars were continuously delivered to the rebels, and I am afraid that there were as many as 1,000 light and heavy machine guns, which is puzzling and anxious! Tang Shizun replied solemnly.

"I can't imagine ......," An Yi shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Zhao Rui hurriedly explained, "Commander, the 44th Army is a local army, and it has not received a penny of military funds from the central government for several months, and I am afraid that it can only rely on selling opium and weapons to survive. "Humph! No matter how hard it is, you can't distinguish between right and wrong, and you can't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, right? Didn't he know that doing so would add tens of thousands of injuries and endless consumption to my lieutenant generals? Qiao Yifu was quite annoyed.

Zhao Rui smiled slightly, "If everyone can distinguish between right and wrong and distinguish between loyalty and treachery, I'm afraid that all of us can go back to our hometown to entertain our wives and children!" It is a fact that Mr. said that our Commander An and General Zhang Hongza have a good relationship, but even if Commander An and General Zhang Hongcai have a deep friendship, it is not as deep as the relationship between Fu Gonghe and Liu Wenhui, right? "How did General Zhao say this?" Qiao Yifu, who is usually extremely generous and kind, even has times when he is angry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Guoguang hurriedly appeased both sides and said... A good remark brought the topic back again, "Now that Fu Gong and the soldiers under his command have been fighting hard repeatedly, the progress is slow, and the situation is indeed not optimistic!"

Under the leadership of the central government and Commander-in-Chief Chiang, Commander An, Chief of Staff Zhao, and Liu Fu's Ministry of Labor, they are all friendly forces, and it is natural for them to support and cooperate with each other. Again, General An is also from Sichuan, so he has to think about it for his hometown fathers and villagers, if he can, will General An also call the commander-in-chief to ask for advice? Kou An Yi thought about it and replied helplessly, "An Yi doesn't want to see it" The war continues, and Sang Zhang is affected, but An Yi is only a leading general, and such a big thing still needs to be troubled Director He to control the overall situation and report it to the central government. Also, the Fifth Army Corps has not yet taken a breath after the battle, there are many recruits and it is difficult to supply, the divisions are still training hard day and night, and the combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. He said with a sly smile. This..., it's not a secret, the artillery brother doesn't dare to move, the general headquarters is about to be transported back to Nanjing, and the light and heavy machine guns are also extremely scarce in all divisions of our army, only the ammunition and part of the captured rifles in the inventory can be conceded, but it's just a drop in the bucket, I'm afraid that Brother Tang can't look down on it. ”

An Yi shook his head frequently, as if he was hesitant and indecided.

Qiao Yifu looked angry, stood up and sneered a few times, then straightened his face, shook the sleeves of his robe suddenly, and walked away with his hands behind his back. Tang Shizun shook his head and smiled bitterly a few times, apologized to He Guoguang who stood up and warmly retained, and followed Qiao Yifu out of the door An Yi explained a few words to He Guoguang very much, but He Guoguang did not have any blame and regret, he knew very well that An Yi's attitude was normal, and before he received a clear order from the General Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters, An Yi and his Fifth Army would never send a single soldier or a chapter, let alone be swayed by Qiao Yifu and Tang Shizun's words.

An Yi returned to his office in Yiling Daying and sat down in Qiaozhou, and Li Fuqiang walked in, holding a radio in his hand with a satisfied expression.

An Yi was a little strange, "Lao Li, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Fuqiang smiled but did not answer, put the radio on the desk in front of An Yi, and then twisted the switch, and suddenly the sound of clear music sounded. An Yi listened carefully, it was the theme song of the movie "Man Jianghong", and his doubts were even worse.

After a while, the music stopped, and after the hour, a sharp male voice sounded, "This is the Voice of Nanchang Radio Station, and the next time is the radio drama, please enjoy the radio drama "Iron Hero" produced by the Literature and Art Center"

An Yi vaguely understood what Li Fuqiang meant, "So you want to tell me that Nanchang Radio Station is on the air!" In fact, the stage opened on New Year's Day, and I was too busy to tell everyone. This is very good, we will have another propaganda position in the future. ”

Li Fuqiang said, "I'm not talking about this. "Many old brothers in the army have settled in Nanchang, who doesn't know the news of the start of the Nanchang Radio Station, I mean this radio drama "Iron Hero""

An Yizhu listened carefully for a while, and was immediately happy! "These boys are really good at advertising, I think after the rounds of bombardment by movies and radio, it will be difficult for the people of the whole country to forget our army in the future!" Li Fuqiang smiled, "It's really good, the living conditions of our relatives and friends in old Nanchang have improved, but because they come from all over the country, although they know that today's life is not easy, they always feel that they have a lot less sense of belonging." Now, with the publicity of movies and radio, people all over the country respect our Anjiajun and our relatives, and now they feel that they are very honored when they go out, and their cohesion has been greatly enhanced. ”

An Yi smiled and nodded, listening to the broadcast on the radio about the siege of Liuxiang and sending reinforcements, his thoughts drifted to where he didn't know where with the sound of guns and cannons, Qiao Yifu, who returned to the office of Liu Xiang's military department in Yichang, had no trace of anger and gaffe on his face, he held the fragrant tea in his hand, came to sit down opposite Tang Shizun, and asked in a low voice with a smile on his face, "What do you think of An Yi's performance today?" ”

Tang Shizun shook his head, "This baby is calm,... When the younger brother Xizhou heard that Brother Yun Song broke the relationship between him and Zhang Hongran, the surprise on his face may have been faked. Who in Hunan and the surrounding provinces doesn't know that An Yi and Zhang Hongran wear a pair of pants? Otherwise, how could An Yi set up the aviation school he spent a lot of money to set up in Xiangxi? How could arsenals, smelters, gunpowder factories and so on be set up in Xiangxi? From the younger brother's point of view, Zhang Hongza sold a large number of weapons and ammunition to Liu Ziqian, perhaps supported by An Yi behind the scenes, this person is a well-known master of collecting money in the country, no matter what it is, as long as he can make money, he dares to do it, and he does it better than anyone else, and he is wonderful. ”

"Hmm............... That's right! ”

Qiao Yifu shook his sleeves elegantly and slowly combed his already meticulous hair, but, judging from the words and deeds of An Yi and his chief of staff today, it seems that he does not have any good impression of Liu Ziqian, and he does not want to get involved in the affairs of Sichuan, but he seems to have a soft spot for doing business!

You might as well go and see Director He Yuan's (He Guoguang) again, and ask him to do it on his behalf, it is best to be able to buy new mortars and machine guns from An Yi, and if you can't buy them, you must try to get back a batch of weapons and ammunition urgently needed by our army, otherwise you will not be able to fight the next battle. ”

Tang Shizun nodded, "... Let's go, little brother! Brother Yun Song, you say it's not strange, we spent a lot of money to buy back the drawings of the Zhongzheng machine gun from An Yi's hands, as well as the whole set of calibration molds, the guns that can be produced are not used, the failures are constant, and they are often jammed, and they finally get a few sample guns, and they are dumb if they can't hit a few shuttles, at first I thought they were fooled by An Yi, but later several engineers jointly investigated and learned that the machining accuracy of the machine tools in our arsenal and the steel we bought back did not meet the requirements, and even the rifle bullets produced were uglier than one another. The damage to the chamber of the gun is huge, but how can he An Yi do it well?

Also, the grenades we produced exploded in a few large pieces, but the hand-caught bombs produced by the Jiangnan factory can blow up the five sides of the thick wooden box into a beehive, which shows that our skills are not as good as others! Now that Liu Wenhui has obtained so many arms replenishment, our arms consumption is huge, and it has reached a very dangerous situation, so we will not get back a batch of weapons and ammunition replenishment from An Yi,... The little brother didn't have the face to go back to see Fu Gong and the soldiers. ”

Qiao Yifu smiled confidently! With the experience of a foolish brother and a penchant for business and money, An Yi will not give up this business that makes a fortune, although he is coy and seems to be suffering from gains and losses, in fact, he wishes that we would talk to him soon, otherwise what would he do with such a big arsenal? Why talk only about artillery and light and heavy machine guns, and not about ammunition, mortars and other weapons?

This time, the two of us rushed to Yichang, the first task is to quickly purchase millions of arms to replenish our army, and the second is to test An Yi's attitude towards "entering the country", and further probe the true intentions of Commander-in-Chief Jiang on the current "Chinese war". Brother Rong Yu held a banquet tonight to test He Yuanzhang and An Yi again, if there is no abnormality, Fu Gong can rest assured to implore Commander-in-Chief Jiang to exert greater oppression on Liu Ziqian! "Got it! The matter of arms is not laborious, and the elder brother is heartfelt, "Little brother, let's go to Brother Yuanzhang." Tang Shizun turned and left.

"Slow! By the way, I helped Brother Yu give this post to He Yuanzhang, and they have been friends for many years, and he will not refuse. ”

Qiao Yifu opened the greeting post on the table, lifted the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a few beautiful words in the middle of the dragon.
