Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Of course this matter must go through the Executive Yuan. Dean Kong, what do you think?"
Kong Xiangxi smiled and said, "Is this also for the overall interests of the Anti-Japanese War? The Executive Yuan also supports it."
Fu Zuoyi looked at Zhu Daizhen in embarrassment. Zhu Daizhen tightened his fists and shook his head to express that he had nothing to do.
At this time, Li Zongren suddenly said, "I don't think General Fu is suitable to be the chairman. Why not let General Fu concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth War Zone? After all, the Eighth War Zone is too far away from Chongqing. This time we will go all out to counterattack, and we will definitely not be able to do it in terms of command."
Something went wrong.”
The eyes of Fu Zuoyi and Zhu Daizhen couldn't help but light up. Zhu Daizhen raised his hand and said, "The Second War Zone agrees with General Li's proposal. In the Eighth War Zone, in terms of military merit, General Fu is definitely the first. He is absolutely responsible for the recovery of Suiyuan."
He is qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth War Zone. As for the chairman of Suiyuan Province, I think it is better to elect him democratically and let the people choose."
Wei Lihuang was already close to the Red Party and cooperated a lot with the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi Campaign. Moreover, he felt that Chiang Kai-shek had gone too far in this matter, so he said, "I think it's okay. General Fu is brave and good at fighting. This time Sui
In the Battle of Yuan, the number of troops in the Eighth Theater was not much. General Fu could be the commander-in-chief, and General Ma could assist him in sending troops to harass the Japanese army. Moreover, Suiyuan has been in decline for a long time, so we can gather the people's hearts as quickly as possible by holding an election.
"
Jiang Jie closed his eyes and said nothing. Gu Zhutong pushed Wei Lihuang, but Wei Lihuang just pretended not to know. He had no love for power. He had secretly made up his mind to disband and return home once the anti-Japanese war was over.
Ignoring the turmoil in this world, Agent Jiang also knew that Wei Lihuang did not really join the Red Party, but just for the sake of justice in his heart.
But Li Zongren only wanted to win over the Red Party and Fu Zuoyi. I am afraid that in Li Zongren's heart, uniting with the Red Party to deal with him has become a must-choose answer.
Agent Jiang opened his eyes and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Our meeting today will mainly focus on discussing the war. Yi Sheng, please come to my place later and let's have a good talk. So, do you still think about the deployment of this campaign?"
Do you have any opinions?"
Zhu Daizhen nodded to Fu Zuoyi, and everyone stopped talking. Kong Xiangxi stood up and said, "The Ministry of Finance will allocate 10 million as a special fund for this campaign. Each theater does not need to worry about supply issues."
Agent Jiang finally said, "That's it for today, let's break up the meeting!!"
Everyone stood up and left. Zhu Daizhen came to Fu Zuoyi and said, "General, be careful and just go."
While Fu Zuoyi was grateful to the Red Party for trusting him, he also knew that the matter of Suiyuan would probably be decided in this conversation.
——
Fu Zuoyi walked into Agent Jiang's office, carefully stood in front of Agent Jiang and said, "Appointment."
Agent Jiang smiled and said, "Sit down, you must have had a hard time fighting the Japanese army."
Fu Zuoyi sat down and said, "It's not hard, this is what a humble job should do."
Agent Jiang hummed and asked, "Have you joined the Red Party?"
Fu Zuoyi shook his head and said, "No, they didn't mention it either."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "What is the bottom line of the Red Party? I hope you will tell me honestly. I know it will be very difficult for you to be roasted on the fire this time."
Fu Zuoyi Tu said, "There is no bottom line. I just want justice. In fact, if the committee allows other highly respected people to be the chairman of Suiyuan Province, we have no objection, but the current King De and others are really embarrassing."
I feel dissatisfied."
Agent Jiang was silent for a while and asked, "If I let Dai Jitao serve as Chairman of Suiyuan, will you be willing to help?"
Fu Zuoyi struggled in his heart and said, "Of course I am willing to accept the appointment, but to be honest, the key is not to be above, but to be below."
Agent Jiang's hands shook, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay, Yisheng, you are making rapid progress. Yes, the key is not to be above, but to be below... This is why Zhu Daizhen wants democratic elections."
Bar."
Agent Jiang waved his hand and said, "Go down, I understand."
Fu Zuoyi didn't understand what Jiang Jie understood and didn't dare to ask. He just saluted with a military salute and left.
Dai Jitao walked out from behind, sat aside and looked at Agent Jiang and asked, "Appointment? How about it?"
Agent Jiang looked at the ceiling and said, "Fu Zuoyi can't come back... I've always been curious about what's so good about the Red Party and why so many people never come back after going there... Chen Geng, Lin Sanhu,
Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen, Ye Jianying, these are all people from Huangpu... One by one, they are willing to go into the ravines to become bandits, and now Fu Zuoyi is like this..."
Dai Jitao didn't understand either, and he didn't want to understand. He looked at the Li Shimin he chose. He just wanted to be Xu Maogong. Now that Dou Jiande has appeared, he would just defeat him.
Agent Jiang suddenly seemed to have let go of something and said, "I have decided to let Fu Zuoyi be the chairman of Suiyuan Province, Dewang be the mayor of Houhehot City, Tao Ketao be the mayor of Baotou City, and Wu Heling be the mayor of Shaanba City. This way
, the Red Party has nothing to say. But it is legal to not allow anyone who has not been appointed by the Executive Yuan to be the chief executive of a region."
Dai Jitao heard the implication and asked, "What does the committee member seem to have on his mind?"
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "I have seen through the Japanese people's thoughts, and I remembered what a little guy said. Do you know? In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, a young man came to my house and predicted this war.
The direction of the war has been the same as what he said so far, which makes me understand the Japanese's plan. They plan to wait for the war in Europe to send troops south."
Dai Jitao said in disbelief, "The Japanese can't even take us down, so they want to provoke Britain and France?"
Agent Jiang smiled and said, "There are also the United States and the Soviet Union. The Japanese are crazy, so they have been trying to sow discord between us and the Red Party, but it is not certain who is the cicada and who is the oriole... However, some
At that time, Japan still had very good swords.”
——Yan'an
Chairman Mao was smoking a cigarette and looking at the night sky. Behind him was a telegram from Chongqing, which contained several personnel orders.
Chairman Mao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I see, should we use this method? But what we Red Party members are least afraid of are difficulties and enemies."
——Baotou
"King De, what should we do? Do you think Chongqing is going to burn its bridges? We helped you stabilize the situation in Suiyuan, and now you are going to slowly deal with us?" Li Shouxin said worriedly.
Wu Heling, the former Speaker of the Puppet Senate, who pursued the Communist Party all his life, said, "I don't think so. The White Party doesn't have many people in Suiyuan. If they don't rely on us, they won't be afraid of the Red Party going all out."
Master Suiyuan?"
King De smiled slightly and said, "Okay, don't worry, everyone. Mr. Dai has given me a long letter in advance, which explains very clearly. Chairman Chiang hopes that we can take good control of these three places, as well as Wuhai and Ningmalian."
It has become a tightrope that binds the Red Party, so everyone knows what to do, right?"
Li Shouxin had really fought against the Red Party, so he naturally knew how big the gap between his men and the Red Party's armed forces was. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult. We are not at the same level in terms of force."
King De said with a smile, "Why use force? Did we start by using force? Since we are a tightrope, it is just a restriction. Isn't it possible to do this? This is Mongolia, not a place for the Han people."
The eyes of Li Shouxin and others lit up. Wu Heling looked at everyone and said, "It is said that the Red Party named Ulanfu is looking for tribal leaders and village squires to hold a congress. As far as I know, these Red Party members actually put their own
The quota is limited to less than 33%, which means that we can definitely find a way to control the parliament!"
King De nodded and said, "As long as we can control the parliament, we can replace Fu Zuoyi. At that time, Suiyuan will still be our Suiyuan."
A group of people from the former Puppet-Mongolian government immediately talked and laughed, as if they had seen victory. They talked for a while and then dispersed. Only one of them raised the corners of his mouth slightly and muttered, "You guys can't see the situation clearly."
...I will not seek death with you!"
With the arrival of November, the land of China once again fell into calm. The plague in the Taihang Mountains was slowly controlled. The battlefields behind enemy lines in Shandong and Jiangsu continued to suck the blood of the Japanese army. The Japanese army in Manchuria began to mobilize again. Zhukov watched
Ma Tu was thinking about his eastern defense line. The police officer in Ganzhou looked at the letter in his hand and looked north. His heart was full of contradictions. The telegrams that continued to spread in the air indicated that the winter of 1939 was not peaceful.
--Japan
In the night, a bank was taking inventory. Qianben, the head of the bank's accounting department, was an old employee. It was the time to make reports at the end of the month these days. The more he looked at the reports, the more he felt something was wrong. He walked out of his office and asked outside.
!What’s going on recently? Why has so much foreign exchange been exchanged?”
Several employees looked at each other, and an older employee said, "This... was exchanged according to a proportion. We have to exchange it, but the amount is indeed a bit too much, but the money is real Japanese yen."
, we have all tested it.”
Someone else said, "President, don't be nervous. We are operating in full accordance with the regulations, and this is not the first day that foreign exchange has been reduced."
Qianben thought for a while, nodded and said, "But if someone comes to exchange foreign currency frequently in the future, you should inform the police. Be careful and you won't make a big mistake."
After Qianben finished speaking, he looked at the time and said, "Don't be too late, everyone, go back and rest early. My child is going to join the army in a few days, so I will go back early today, please."
The other employees quickly bowed in return. Qianben packed up, walked out of the bank, and went straight to a rice and grain store.
"Boss, please bring five kilograms of white rice and some kombu." Qianbon said as he prepared to take money from his bag.
"I'm so sorry. We have kombu, but the white rice is gone." The boss stepped forward with an apologetic look.
"No more? Forget it, I'll go check out other stores." Qianben said and was about to leave.
"Sir, I advise you not to go. You probably haven't read the newspaper. You have two days to buy rice and noodles, and you don't have to buy them now." The boss sighed and said.
Qianben was stunned for a moment. He looked at the door number and said, "You are a rice and grain store. If you don't sell rice, what do you sell?"
The boss took out a newspaper and said, "This is today's evening paper. The cabinet government has issued an order. From now on, our rice and flour will be supplied by vote. Although the war in China is going smoothly, the Chinese people's counterattack is also very powerful. From now on.
Our daily ration of staple food rice and white flour per person is 450 grams, and rice and flour coupons will be issued starting next week. All the rice we have in stock has been collected by the store, saying that it will not be sold until the government orders it."
Qianben said pleadingly, "But my child is about to join the army and serve the emperor. I want to cook a meal with rice to say goodbye to him. Can you think of a way?"
The boss looked at Qianben, rubbed his face and said, "But His Majesty the Emperor's order is absolute... Okay, so, if I give you a pound of rice, you don't have to pay me, just think of it as my blessing for your child."
.”
Qianben bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you so much."
In a tavern in Osaka, a Japanese pushed an open suitcase to the opposite side and said, "The price is 20% higher than the market price. This is also a good thing for your company. Of course, how much you quote is up to you."
Okay. In addition, this 50,000 yen is our special thank you gift, I believe this is enough to express our sincerity."
A middle-aged man opposite saw the box, his eyes kept shining. He drank water nervously and said, "You have to know, this is a big risk."
The Japanese clapped his hands, and the person behind him opened another box and said, "You should know that there are many factories like yours, and you are not the only person in your factory who can do this, and such a generous person can
We are a family. We are a long-term business, and this money is just a deposit. One hundred thousand, we will not add any more."
The middle-aged man's eyes almost popped out. You know, at this time, a worker in Japan only had less than 100 yen a month. This 100,000 yen is the lifetime income of an ordinary worker. He was still hesitating, what about the Japanese?
After waving his hand, the person behind him was about to close the box. The middle-aged man rushed forward and said, "Okay, okay, I promise, I promise."
The Japanese smiled and said, "Then it's settled, what we want is just some scraps. It's nothing, but I still hope that our transaction volume can be larger."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "No problem. From now on, all the waste products from our factory will be handed over to your Jingmao Company. There are still a lot of waste products from our factory."
The Japanese nodded and shook hands with the middle-aged man, and then asked someone to send the middle-aged man away. After the middle-aged man left, the Japanese sat down and took a breath and asked, "What number is this?"
