Jiang Cheng pointed at the cannon and said, "You know that Germany is reorganizing its army and preparing for war. Many old weapons have been eliminated, so I bought them and shipped them over through my connections. There are a total of 7,000 rifles and 200 Mark core machine guns."
Well, there are three hundred Czech light machine guns, one hundred mortars, countless ammunition, and then there are these cannons. What you see is the Czech M1925 150mm howitzer, which weighs 3.8 tons and has a range of 11,800 meters. This gun is
The single-legged gun mount has a small firing range and is an outdated thing in Europe, but here it is still a treasure."
Jiang Jingguo nodded repeatedly and asked with stars in his eyes, "Brother Gu Quan, you are so awesome. How did you bring this in? Are these just the three gates?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course not. I have a total of 12 guns, but three guns is the limit if I want to avoid being noticed. The other artillery and weapons are on the ship and will come from the Burma Highway, but I need you."
I went to sign for it, but the traffic there is controlled, so I can't transport it over."
Jiang Jingguo immediately said, "This is easy to handle. I asked Wang Sheng to go and handle this matter. Gu Quan, you have finally come here. You must have a drink with me. Let me tell you, this is a bitter feeling in my heart. I feel sorry for you."
He refused my request over and over again..."
Jiang Cheng listened to Jiang Jingguo's story with a smile, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Jiang Jingguo didn't know, but he got the latest news. In Yangon, there will be someone waiting for Jiang Jingguo, but in this life, he doesn't know who will win.
burden.
At this time, Jiang Jingguo suddenly said, "Gu Quan, do you think I can believe you?"
Jiang Cheng's attention was drawn back and he smiled and said, "Of course, we are friends."
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Well, let me tell you something. The Red Party has contacted me and hopes that I will go to Yan'an secretly. They want me to understand the situation in Yan'an in order to maintain the anti-Japanese united front."
Jiang Cheng knew about this, and it was also part of the United Front work, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Jianfeng, you are not planning to go, your identity is quite sensitive."
Jiang Jingguo held Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "I know my identity is sensitive, but I really want to see. The Red Party can win over and over again against the Japanese army. There must be a reason for it. Brother Gu Quan, I
Let me tell you, in fact, I have always understood in my heart that in many places, our White Party is inferior to the Red Party, and I hope to learn from the advantages of the Red Party to improve our country and the White Party."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That will only happen when I ask you to take the seat. Then will you go or not?"
Jiang Jingguo said with some embarrassment, "If possible, I hope you can help me go and take a look first to understand the situation. I was caught by the Red Party and imprisoned for several years, and I am actually a little worried."
Jiang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart and said, "No problem, I'll leave later. I'm also very interested in the Red Party."
Jiang Jingguo seemed to be comforting Jiang Cheng and said, "Don't worry. Although there have been some misunderstandings between the red and white recently, they still won't mess around. If they want to arrest you or kill you, just say that you are my brother.
They should be a little more wary."
While Jiang Cheng was helpless at Jiang Jingguo's naivety, he said, "Well, you can rest assured. Soon, I will tell you everything about the situation in Yan'an. If you still don't want to go, then it's up to you."
——Washington
Roosevelt tapped his leg, looked at Hoover's report and said, "Is that all?"
Hoover nodded and said, "That's all that has been found for the time being. The Germans seem to be very wary of us, but it is certain that the Soviets will reach a certain degree of cooperation with the Germans in this military exercise."
Roosevelt was not worried and said, "Germany and the Soviet Union cannot cooperate forever, and couples with incompatible personalities cannot end well... This intelligence can confirm that Hitler will launch military operations again next year. Very good, thank you for your hard work, you can go on."
.”
Hoover returned to his office. At 45 years old, he was no longer young, but still energetic. Because Roosevelt secretly ordered him many times to investigate things that even the Department of Justice did not know, his power expanded rapidly.
Today, he has become an uncrowned king. He knows that information is power and secrets are power. Even Roosevelt did not know how much this crooked, often silent listener knew.
A middle-aged woman wearing stockings and high heels came over, handed Hoover a piece of information and said, "This has just been compiled. We still haven't found any traces of the disappearance or murder of scientists such as Einstein. This group of people
Extremely professional and premeditated. If they leave the United States, they must not have gone through regular customs, or there may be corrupt elements in our customs."
Hoover hummed, "Are we still lacking in corrupt elements? Gandhi, have you found out what the other party wants these people to do?"
Gandhi was Hoover's personal secretary. She had been with Hoover since she was 21 years old. At that time, Hoover was only 23 years old. Gandhi said, "Yes, we found that they have one thing in common, that is, their research is mostly focused on physics, and they
Most of the manuscripts have been destroyed by humans."
Hoover shook his head and said, "What is this? A mysterious organization's revenge on physics? Did he get a zero score in physics in school? Who could it be? Germany? Britain? Or the Soviet Union?"
Gandhi continued, "Our reports in Europe have learned that this is not just happening here. The entire world's top talents studying physics are disappearing, but there are not many of them."
Hoover sighed, "It's a headless case... Let's play it for a while and immediately monitor the phone calls and telegrams of all German and Soviet groups and societies. We must find out what these guys want to do."
Gandhi nodded and turned to leave. Hoover looked at Gandhi's back tenderly and sighed. He knew that he and Gandhi would never be able to make it together, and it had been impossible since the rejection of the proposal that day.
Hoover refocused his attention and began to look at the information on his desk. Suddenly, a piece of information attracted his attention. It said that Kong Xiangxi, the president of the Executive Yuan of China, had successfully annexed the West China Company. In the past, this West China Company
The company controls a large amount of bristle, and as a strategic material, the main producer of bristle is China. Hoover couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Now this hole is rich."
——Chongqing
"Dad, this huge piece of fat on the Burma Highway cannot just be occupied by Song Ziwen and Dai Li. They have made a lot of money by bringing in private goods, and they won't let us get any oil or water. How can this be done? I don't think so.
We can also set up a transportation company." The speaker was Kong Lingkan. This was not the first time he had mentioned this matter. He had been jealous when the Jiang agent appointed Song Ziliang as the director of the Southwest Transportation Department.
You know, since the fall of Guangzhou, although Hong Kong is still there and the waterway in Fuzhou is open, important arms and supplies cannot pass through these places at all. Countless Japanese warships are monitoring this place all the time. Only the Burma Highway through Yangon is the best way.
It is safe, and the one who controls the Burma Highway is the Southwest Transportation Department. The Southwest Transportation Department has more than a dozen departments such as the Business Department, the Secretariat, and the Security Department. The Security Department is particularly worth mentioning. Don’t look at the small number.
, the power is not small. It is a special agency directly controlled by the military and directly supervises the comprehensive work of Southwest Transportation Company.
When Kong Xiangxi heard what Kong Lingkan said, he felt itchy in his heart. He looked at Song Ziwen and Dai Li making a lot of money at the Southwest Transportation Department, but he could only sit on the bench like a substitute who couldn't play. It felt really good.
It was worse than digging his heart out with a knife.
Kong Lingyi, the eldest sister next to her, said, "We are relatives after all, and we shouldn't fight. Besides, our West China Company will have to digest it for a while."
Kong Lingyi is the eldest daughter of the Kong family. She doesn’t like fighting, but she is very particular about it. She has bird’s nest soup for breakfast every day, along with various high-end snacks specially flown from Hong Kong. For lunch, she has at least six dishes and two soups. For makeup.
Perfume, powder, and lipstick were all from France, clothes were changed every day, and even bath powder was from England. This kind of life did not change even during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War.
The so-called Huaxi Company was originally a comprehensive company founded by brothers Hu Zhongshi and Hu Shuqian in 1932. It was composed of investments from local warlords, bureaucrats, politicians, and the financial sector. It had a team with strong technical strength and was equipped with Huaxing machinery.
Factory, Hualian Steel Plant, Huatai Art Factory, Huayi Brick and Tile Factory, West China Automobile Repair Shop, West China Bristle Factory, West China Construction Engineering Department and a series of light and heavy factories, among which heavy industry is the highlight, most power stations in the southwest
, the dams were all built by him. Unfortunately, the Hu brothers’ backer was Liu Xiang, and at this time, Liu Xiang could only protect them in the sky.
Kong Xiangxi soon pretended to borrow money, and then took advantage of the West China Company's financial shortage to use threats and inducements. He even stated in a threatening tone in the official investment document approved by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Affairs that "steel, electricity, and mining are all heavy industries and are not related to the Anti-Japanese War."
"The founding of the People's Republic of China is closely related to the founding of the People's Republic of China" and "China Industrial Corporation must be formed by the three companies of West China, Hualian and China Electronics", and said that "the president of Shenzhen Netherlands approved of this move." Hu Zhongshi felt that hard fighting was not possible, so he had to compromise. After negotiation, Kong only reluctantly agreed
West China can be independent, and everything else can be merged. In order to cover up his own edge, Kong also asked Hu Zhongshi and others to submit the process of organizing ZTE to the Executive Yuan for approval in the name of the sponsors. It seems that the idea was not made by him but by Hu Zhongshi
As if proposed.
Today, Kong Xiangxi has been elected as the chairman of the West China Company. Among the eleven managing directors who were recommended by each other at the first board meeting, nine seats were occupied by bureaucratic capital and only two seats were held by commercial investors.
Kong Xiangxi did not stop doing anything, and immediately wrote to Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary, requesting the unification of the heavy steel industry enterprises in the rear area. In fact, at this time, the annual output of iron in the entire rear area was only 40,000 tons, and steel was less than 2,000 tons, but this
He also received a strong commendation from Chiang Kai-shek. You must know that in the 27th year of the Republic of China, the steel production was only 900 tons. Kong Xiangxi was able to double the steel production in one year, which is indeed worthy of his bragging (don’t die).
Face, the author can hardly stand what he writes)
Kong Lingwei was not happy when he heard what his eldest sister said. He jumped up on the stool and said, "As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in shopping malls, let alone relatives. I have an idea. Aren't we going to unify the heavy industry now? What's piling up in Yangon?"
Not only weapons and ammunition, but also a lot of mechanical equipment and steel materials bought from abroad. We can definitely say that in order to maximize the production capacity of our factory, we must have our own transportation team to transport the things that the factory urgently needs.
, let’s unite some more people, not to mention Song Ziwen and Dai Li, even if we add brothers Chen Guofu, I don’t think we are afraid.”
Kong Xiangxi couldn't help but cheered, "Okay! Ling Wei's idea this time is good. Is there any reward you want?"
Kong Lingkan said quickly, "Sister, please don't compete with me. I have long valued Southwest."
Kong Lingwei said disapprovingly, "There are wars everywhere in China. What's there to make money for? I want to go to the United States and join my brother. It will save money... I have to be supervised by you every day. I bought a plane last time and paid it back."
scold me."
Kong Xiangxi widened his eyes and said, "You also said, if I hadn't been covering for you, do you really think those pilots wouldn't have discovered there was something wrong with the plane? It's fine if you want to go to the United States, but you have to study in the United States.
Your mother has arranged a school for you, and if you don't get a diploma there, don't come back."
Kong Lingwei still wanted to speak, but suddenly he rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, isn't it just a diploma? Can it still stump me?"
Kong Lingkan didn't care about his sister, whom he couldn't control. He hurriedly said, "That's it, dad, I won't care about the Hong Kong Trust Bureau."
Kong Xiangxi shook his head when he heard this. This trust bureau was one of the most important financial institutions in the Republic of China, and it was located in the safe Hong Kong. Kong Xiangxi specifically asked Kong Lingkan to manage it, which was not a bad intention. However, Kong Lingkan first opened several newspapers and periodicals, and continued to
He sang praises for the Confucius family, and then, for convenience, he set up a private radio station to contact Chongqing. As a result, he was caught by the British. Japan even put pressure on Kong Lingkan and said that he was an intelligence spy. This made Kong Lingkan so embarrassed that he could only return to Chongqing sadly.
Kong Xiangxi also knew that Kong Lingkan could no longer manage the trust bureau, so he could only say, "Okay, then you can go to Yangon. Don't cause any more trouble there."
Kong Lingkan hummed nonchalantly and went out to make preparations happily. Kong Xiangxi couldn't help but dumbfounded. The agent Jiang hadn't agreed to let him get involved yet. What was Kong Lingkan so anxious about?
But it has to be said that Kong Lingkan did know Jiang Zhi and others. When Jiang Xiangxi heard Kong Xiangxi’s plan, he immediately agreed and asked Kong Xiangxi to establish the Southwest Transportation Company, which had nearly a thousand trucks under its jurisdiction and was directly under the Southwest Transportation Department. Kong Xiangxi also knew to take care of it.
In order to save Song Ziwen's face, he secretly promised to give Song Ziwen all the business along the southeast coast and give him some shares in the southwest. Song Ziwen and Dai Li stopped talking and acquiesced to this situation.
