Chapter 432 The new Director of Military Intelligence
"money?"
Hearing Yu Xueying's answer, even though Su Rui was a little mentally prepared, he couldn't help being surprised and forgetting about the past.
"This guy is good. Is he also a supporter of the theory that money is everything?"
Su Rui couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, people in this era are still relatively traditional, and the social atmosphere is not as direct as that of later generations who laughed at the poor but not at the prostitutes. This guy can raise the issue of "lack of money" so openly.
The concept is quite surprising.
Seeing the surprised look in Su Rui's eyes, Yu Xueying continued: "Sir, you heard it right, we are short of money. When Ziran found me a few days ago, he had some discussions with him and also knew some of the current situation of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"
Hearing this, Su Rui couldn't help but glance at Liang Zhi. Liang Zhi nodded slightly at him, indicating that Yu Xueying was right and that he had revealed some things about the Military Intelligence Bureau to him. After seeing Liang Zhi's expression, Su Rui also said
I understand. After all, if you want people to come over and work for you, you have to at least tell them some basic things. Otherwise, they are not idiots. As soon as you tell them, they will run over and kowtow. But for Yu Xueying’s words, Su
Rui thought it was quite new. This was the first time he heard such remarks. He nodded to Yu Xueying and said, "Well, keep talking!"
"Ahem..." Yu Xueying coughed twice and began to speak: "Sir Su, when I was studying in Germany, the topic of the first class taught by my teacher was the relationship between money and intelligence. My teacher at the Berlin Military Academy once
As I said, the acquisition of intelligence is parasitic on money. In fact, this is also true. Money and intelligence have been twin brothers since ancient times. Any intelligence support cannot be separated from the support of money. You can do intelligence work without personnel.
If you don't have an intelligence network, you don't have to have connections. But you can't have money, otherwise your life will become a problem, let alone engage in intelligence.
But it's different when you have sufficient funds. If you don't have people, you can recruit. If you don't have an espionage network, you can build it. If you don't have connections, you can build relationships. If you don't have women, you can bribe them. But if you don't have money... Haha, you won't be able to move forward!
The intelligence networks of all countries in the world are all based on sufficient funds. So if you want me to take over Ziran's Military Intelligence Bureau, you must promise me that the funds allocated to me every month shall not be less than fifty
Wan Dayang, and it will have to be increased in the future as appropriate, otherwise you should hire someone else!" Finally, Yu Xueying ended his answer with words full of threats.
"Hey...you are so courageous!" Su Rui was immediately angry. He looked at Yu Xueying sideways and said, "Do you know how much military pay an ordinary infantry division gets in a month? Tell me.
You, our division of more than 18,000 soldiers can only get this amount of military pay per month, so it would be better for you to ask me for the military pay of a division as soon as you open your mouth!"
Facing Su Rui's ridicule, Yu Xueying did not show any trace of embarrassment on her face, but said lightly: "But I can guarantee that the role played by this military intelligence bureau is definitely greater than that of three infantry divisions.
Be big!”
Listening to Yu Xueying's unkind words in front of Su Rui, Liang Zhi was afraid that Su Rui would be really angry, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Sir, Qianying also has good intentions, and he rarely speaks big words. Don't blame him.
!”
Su Rui ignored Liang Zhi's words, but after thinking for a while, he slowly nodded and said: "Okay, I'll believe you for now. If you want 500,000 yuan, I will give you 500,000. But I will also give
Your three-month probationary period, if after three months the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau still has not improved, then please go back and forth wherever you go."
"Okay!" Yu Xueying readily agreed to Su Rui's conditions.
After another conversation with Yu Xueying, Su Rui called the guard and asked him to lead Yu Xueying down to settle down. Soon only Su Rui and Liang Zhi were left in the living room.
Liang Zhi looked at Su Rui with some worry, and said to Su Rui: "Sir, don't blame Qian Ying. He has the same temper when he was in Germany, so he originally went to the peak after returning to China after studying in the 24th year of the Republic of China.
He was assigned to serve as the head of an intelligence station in a county town, but the funds given to him by the military commander were too little, so he directly submitted a report requesting that 10,000 oceans be allocated to him every month, so the result...
You saw it too."
"Hey, this guy!"
Su Rui couldn't help but dumbfounded after hearing this. Ten thousand yuan was not a small sum in 1935, the 24th year of the Republic of China. It was enough to buy several nice houses in the prosperous areas of Shanghai. He was a small sum.
How much money did the county intelligence station spend? This Yu Xueying really dared to speak. If she were his boss, she would have to kick him home and eat at her own expense.
After thinking about it, Su Rui asked Liang Zhi: "Then do you have confidence in him?"
After hearing Su Rui's words, Liang Zhi's eyes showed a smile: "Sir, don't worry, although Qianying is not good at spending money, he is still very capable of doing things. I have full confidence in him.
"
"Well, that's good!"
Su Rui nodded, and then remembered that if Liang Zhi was not sure, he would not recommend such a person to him. Otherwise, if Yu Xueying did not do well, it would not only be his face that would be lost, but Liang Zhi, the recommender, would also lose his face.
Light.
Su Rui waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the war situation in Jiangxi and Fujian first. During the days when you were not around, the situation is somewhat different from what we originally planned. The Central Army has also intervened.
In Jiangxi, our commissioner sent two more troops to follow the Guangxi clique shamelessly to get a share of the pie. For this reason, I ordered Lin Shiqian to change the direction of the troops and attack Fujian. Now we have reached it.
In the Shicheng and Yongan areas, the Japanese 61st Division resisted fiercely, but fortunately, just now, the Armored Division and the New Second Division had captured Shicheng. As long as we can capture Yongan again, we can take the initial step in Fujian.
Got a foothold."
Liang Zhi pondered for a while before shaking his head and said: "Sir, although the Sixty-first Division seems to be retreating steadily, their main force has not been defeated by us. They are still entrenched in Zhangzhou, Xiamen and Longyan.
With such a small force, it will take a lot of effort for us to conquer those places one by one."
Su Rui nodded and said, "I have thought about it too. Although it will take a lot of time to recover these cities, we must recover these places. Otherwise, if we allow tens of thousands of Japanese troops to roam around in this area, it will cause serious harm to us."
The harm is too great." At this point, Su Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Ziran, look, originally I wanted to conquer Jiangxi, firstly to occupy this rich land, and secondly to feed more troops.
, but the Central Army’s constant interference makes it difficult for us to do anything.”
Liang Zhi frowned and said, "Sir, you asked the 398th Army to withdraw from Jiangxi and let the Central Army and Chief Li fight against the Japanese army alone. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"Too much?" Su Rui sneered: "Since you want to take on this porcelain job, you must have that diamond, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to take advantage of the advantages in this world? I want to see if our commissioner can
You cannot take Jiangxi by your own strength."
After Su Rui stopped talking, Liang Zhi sighed and stopped talking. After all, the result was already obvious. If the Central Army was really capable of regaining Jiangxi, it would not wait until Su Rui took action before thinking about picking peaches.
Liang Zhi could already predict at this time that in the face of the counterattack of the two Japanese divisions, the fate of the two armies of the Central Army could have been foreseen, and Li Zongren would not sacrifice his life for Chiang Kai-shek once a fight broke out.
His two armies were definitely not willing to take advantage of the fire, so he knew on his knees what would happen to the two central armies.
Even though he thought so, Liang Zhi still sighed softly: "Sir, after all, those two armies are our own national defense forces. It would be wrong to let them lose too much."
Su Rui smiled: "Ziran, I didn't realize that you have a bodhisattva heart. Don't worry, any of the generals of the Central Army are fuel-efficient. They will not be so stupid and fight with the Japanese."
Yes, just watch, without our participation, they will definitely have to take it one step at a time, and they won't be able to suffer too much loss."
"That's good." Liang Zhi thought about it and laughed dumbly. He then thought that although the combat effectiveness of the Central Army was not as good as that of the Seventh Army, it would not be that easy for the Japanese to eat both of their armies in one go.
Su Rui patted Liang Zhi on the shoulder and said with relief: "Okay, since you are here, go back and have a rest, and come back to work tomorrow. I have been very busy these days."
Liang Zhi sighed and shook his head: "Sir, I just came back, you must give me a break!"
Although Liang Zhi looked a little reluctant, he was still very happy because Su Rui's words meant that he still valued him and that he was still an important part of the Seventh Army.
Su Rui waved his hand: "Why rest? The war situation is so tense now. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the headquarters. If you really want to relax, then quickly find a deputy chief of staff to come and divide it for you.
Share the burden, now hurry up and work for me!" After saying that, Su Rui took the lead and walked towards the command hall...
While Su Rui and Liang Zhi were busy paying attention to the battlefields in Jiangxi and Fujian, the angry Soviet Ambassador to China Bogmolov also returned to Chongqing by plane.
As soon as the plane landed, Bogmolov didn't care about anything else and drove directly to Zeng Jiayan's official residence where Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was staying.
He has long made up his mind to put pressure on the supreme leader of China and make that bold commander look good! To be continued)
