The hidden clever words of Su Rui and Xue Yue did not arouse the interest of Yang Wenxu and Xu Sixi. They were both relatively pure intellectuals, and intrigues were not what they were good at, so they had no interest in analyzing the words of the two.
Meaning. As for Xu's mother, Yang's mother and Xu Yang's two daughters, they are even less interested in this kind of thing.
Therefore, Su Rui and Xue Yue still said words from time to time that seemed a little confusing to others.
After drinking another glass of wine, Xue Yue pretended to be casual and asked: "Brother Zhongxin, I heard that you have a way to get relatively cheap medicines, right?"
Su Rui picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said modestly: "It's not like there's any connections. Thanks to friends, I can occasionally get some medicines."
"Really?" Xue Yue said with a half-smile: "I have heard that some time ago, in Xuzhou and Wuhan, the logistics department of your department openly sold drugs on the street. The price was so low that other people could buy it.
The drugstore owner jumped off the building, and this incident has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wuhan. Your department must have offended a lot of people because of this incident."
"Of course, I accept this." Su Rui said sternly: "But does Mr. Xue also think that the department has done something wrong by selling high-quality and cheap medicines?"
"this……"
Xue Yue couldn't help but was speechless for a moment. It is true that Su Rui had offended the interests of many people by selling drugs at low prices in the Wuhan market some time ago. I don't know how many people gritted their teeth against him. But he sold drugs at low prices to ordinary people.
It's a great thing that benefits the people. You can't say that he did something wrong in this kind of thing. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disregarding the life and death of the people?
Looking at the silent Xue Yue, Su Rui smiled. At any time, the drug trade is a huge cake. I don’t know how many people can make a living in it. Let alone a city like Wuhan with a population of more than two million.
It's a big city.
Some time ago, Su Rui obtained medicines almost for free. He tried to sell the medicines at a ridiculous price in Wuhan, but he offended people and disappeared into the sea. It is estimated that someone wanted to deal with him later because of this reason.
But Su Rui does not regret this. His 300 divisions have never received a cent of military pay or subsidies from the Ministry of Military Affairs since their development. It can be said that he alone supports nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers in the division.
The number of people, including the family members who accompany the army, has exceeded 20,000. The monthly military pay alone is nearly hundreds of thousands.
If he doesn't sell medicines, weapons and ammunition, how can he feed so many people? If there is no military salary, how can the Three Hundred Division be maintained? I'm afraid it would have been disbanded long ago. Therefore, Su Rui has been working tirelessly to do the Three Hundred Division.
Medicine in the 1900s represented this promising job.
When he first came to this time and space, Su Rui also wanted to simply cash out a dozen or twenty atomic bombs, and then get a dozen B29 bombers to drop all the atomic bombs on Japan, and then the whole world would be at peace.
But when he rummaged through all the redeemed items, he was surprised to find that there was no such big weapon as a nuclear weapon. The puzzled Su Rui was depressed for a few days, and then he figured it out. Even if there was one
Does he dare to use nuclear weapons? Can he use them? The consequences of throwing them away are not something he can afford.
In another time and space, the Americans dared to drop the atomic bomb because they were confident. They had powerful industrial technology, an army of millions, and a vast territory to support them. But as for himself, he had nothing. If he threw it down forcefully,
If so, I'm afraid he will become a public enemy of the world the next day.
Seeing Su Rui and Xue Yue talking, everyone in the room ate in silence without disturbing their conversation.
After a while, Xue Yuecai said: "Brother Zhongxin, after the fall of Wuhan, Hunan has changed from the rear to the front line of the anti-Japanese war. Changsha, in particular, is an inevitable target for the Japanese army. According to intelligence from the front, the Japanese army has prepared to attack Changsha."
Let's do it. Hunan will also be caught in the flames of war, and the ninth theater is in urgent need of all military supplies, especially medicines. Brother Zhongxin, can you get us a batch of medicines?"
"Of course!" Su Rui waved his hand generously: "Since the superior has spoken, how can the department shirk the responsibility? Tell me, how much do you want? I will sell it to you at 20% off the market price!"
"This..." Xue Yue had an awkward look on his face, and he hummed for a long time but was speechless.
At this time, a major who looked like an adjutant and had been standing behind Xue Yue stepped forward and spoke, "Mr. Su, our Ninth Theater District does not have sufficient funds right now. What Chief Xue means is whether you can give our Ninth Theater District a batch of medicines on credit first."
, we will wait until we get better in a few months before paying.”
"What? No!" Su Rui seemed to have thought of something, a coldness gradually appeared on his face, and shook his head like a rattle: "Mr.
, but you can never go on credit, this is an iron rule."
Speaking of this, Su Rui understood in his heart the origin of Xue Yue this time. The lover was here to beat the autumn wind. Although Su Rui believed that Xue Yue would never covet these medicines and put them into his private pocket, Su Rui
I also know that some things must not be opened. If I open this hole for Commander Xue today, Commander Wang and Chief Zhao will all find their way to me tomorrow. I will definitely be annoyed by them to death by then.
I am not a saint, and society has not developed to the point where distribution is based on need. The price for being a good person is probably to be devoured by the greedy wolves around you without leaving any bones.
Seeing Su Rui's resolute attitude, Xue Yue had no choice but to shake his head and stop talking. The adjutant beside him moved his mouth a few times and finally closed his mouth.
However, Su Rui seemed to have remembered something again and said to Xue Yue: "Sir Xue, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The Ministry of Staff believes that the Japanese Eleventh Army has illusions about Changsha and will probably send most of its troops to attack.
But we can’t mess up the situation first, we must deal with it calmly, and we can’t do things that please our relatives and enemies, especially we can’t set fires indiscriminately!”
"Set fire in Changsha?"
Xue Yuexiao smiled, this young lieutenant general is really interesting, does he have the ability to predict the future?
As if he had read Xue Yue's thoughts, Su Rui continued: "Now that the Japanese troops are pointing directly at Changsha, I am worried that the superiors will pay attention and implement some scorched-earth war strategy, which will cause damage to Changsha."
Su Rui had an impression of the Changsha fire. In another time and space, this was one of the three major tragedies along with the Huayuankou embankment breach and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy.
It was also a man-made destructive fire that occurred in Changsha. In response to the Japanese invasion, the Kuomintang authorities adopted a scorched earth policy and formulated a plan to burn Changsha. However, before the plan was officially implemented, a series of accidental factors caused the fire to become
Completely out of control, it eventually led to the death of more than 30,000 people in Changsha, more than 90% of the houses in the city were burned down, and the economic loss was about one billion yuan. It also made Changsha the second largest city along with Stalingrad, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The most destroyed city in World War I.
Although Su Rui knew its origin and reason, at this moment he could only use this method to tactfully remind Xue Yue. As for the effect, only God knows.
However, when Su Rui saw the look on Xue Yue's face, he knew that his words were in vain, so he could only silently pick up the wine glass. After Xue Yue was rejected by Su Rui, his face showed a trace of displeasure at first, and then he thought about it and said
After calming down, he probably understood Suri's difficulties.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Yang Wenxue deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and said to Xue Yue with a smile: "Sir Xue, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the wedding of my daughter and Zhongxin. You must come to support me."
"Oh! Zhongxin is going to hold a wedding here?" Xue Yue's face showed a look of surprise: "Isn't it an engagement? Why did it change to a marriage!"
"Ahem..."
At this time, even the old-fashioned Xu Sichuan blushed a little. He coughed lightly and explained: "It's like this. Zhongxin will return to the army in a few days. You also know that now is the period of the Anti-Japanese War. General Zhongxin
We are leading troops to fight outside, and we don’t know when we will have time, so our two families made a plan and decided to arrange their wedding in just a few days."
"This is a good thing!" Xue Yue laughed, and he put down his bowls and chopsticks and said seriously: "You must send me an invitation. I will definitely come to support you in person. Not only will I come, but maybe Wen Bai will also come.
Come here!"
"Oh... Chairman Zhang is coming too? This is really great."
At this time, Hunan Provincial Chairman Zhang Zhizhong still had a good reputation in Hunan. Hearing that Chairman Zhang might come over, Xu Sichi was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"Haha, you don't have to thank me. The main reason is that the Chenglong Kuai son-in-law you chose has enough face, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say that!" Xue Yue laughed.
Looking at Xue Yue chatting and laughing with his cheap father-in-law, Su Rui also secretly admired him. This tiger boy, who had just been rejected by himself, could chat and laugh with others in the blink of an eye, as if he had completely forgotten what happened just now.
Self-cultivation and Chengfu are worth learning on your own.
Thanks to Xue Yue's participation, the meal became more lively, and it was not until two hours later that Xue Yue left.
After sending Xue Yue off, the two families sat down again. Yang Wenxue asked in confusion: "Zhongxin, just now Chief Xue asked you to lend medicine on credit, why did you refuse him right away? They are all for the war of resistance, you
Why can't you be accommodating?"
Without waiting for Su Rui to answer, Yang Peile responded first: "Dad, you don't understand this kind of thing. Just don't get involved. Zhongxin has his own reasons for doing this."
"Hey, you little girl, you dare to teach me a lesson now." No matter how good-tempered Yang Wenxue was, at this time, his face was a little uneasy and he started to lecture.
