In a building in New York, He Ankang was processing paperwork. Jiang Tian walked in. He Ankang saw Jiang Tian and stood up and asked why Apostle Jiang is here.
Five years have passed since Jiang Cheng started to establish overseas forces with the help of several tycoons in Shanghai. Various departments have also taken on several names. Due to the last financial attack on Japan, the intelligence departments of all countries around the world have
He began to pay more attention to Jiang Cheng's forces. At Jiang Tian's suggestion, Jiang Cheng's forces were re-divided and renamed. 23us.
Fastest update
In order to prevent other countries from discovering that this force is actually controlled by the Chinese, they still use the Western name of the Sage Society. The decision-makers are called the Twelve Apostles, including Jiang Tian, Jiang Yu, Situ Meitang, Zhang Ye
Chen Nan and others are all at this level. Originally, it was difficult for Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu to convince the public as newcomers, but Jiang Tian easily led Hoover and other U.S. intelligence agencies' pursuers astray. Jiang Yu's success in the U.S. stock market
After using one million U.S. dollars to earn 10 million U.S. dollars in just ten days, no one dared to object anymore.
According to their functions, each department is divided into the security department: the Brotherhood, the scientific research department: the Wizards Association, the economic department: the Zodiac, the intelligence department: the dark department, and the dark department is composed of Seraphs and Fallen Angels. There is also an assassination branch directly under
The department is called Seven Deadly Sins.
Jiang Tian said to He Ankang that he had just received some important news. The US intelligence agency seemed to be brewing some conspiracy. I think it should be reported to the boss.
He Ankang asked if it was aimed at us.
Jiang Tian shook his head and said no, but I think this matter must be very important, and I am going to activate several high-level angels to investigate this matter.
He Ankang nodded and said okay, this is a sensitive period, so be careful.
Yan'an
Gibraltar fell. Jiang Cheng curiously asked how the H fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar fell. What happened to it?
Jiang Cheng, who had just delivered another batch of supplies, received news that was both unexpected and reasonable as soon as he returned home.
Gibraltar has been under siege for a month. It has been bombarded by so many aircraft and artillery. Especially a week ago, the two Dora cannons were finally installed. The first salvo almost penetrated the top of the Gibraltar Fortress.
, the British troops in the fortress were so frightened that they almost peed.
Due to the removal of anti-aircraft guns and other anti-aircraft firepower, Fleet H had replenished some aircraft, but it was no match for the Axis aircraft group. After a whole day of continuous fighting, Gibraltar returned to a state of complete loss of air superiority. Then the British defenders understood that
We can no longer defend this place.
The British army immediately sent a message to London requesting permission to withdraw under extreme circumstances. After Churchill received the news, he immediately held a meeting to analyze. In the end, he felt that Germany was now placing its main force in the Soviet Union, and Britain was more than able to protect itself. The importance of Gibraltar had begun to decrease. On the contrary, if it were to be withdrawn,
The losses outweigh the gains if the h fleet is defeated. The most important point is that the defenders cannot hold on and cannot be rescued. What else can they do except retreat and retain some vitality to wait for another fight? Anyway, the British army is used to losing by now.
In the end, the British army defended the warships, and the H fleet all turned to the Mediterranean, where they fought a battle with the Italian army. The British army in Egypt also came to the rescue. In the end, the main ships of the H fleet arrived in Egypt safely. Because of this incident,
Hitler almost cursed Italy to death. Li Qian handed the information to Jiang Cheng and said.
Li Qian also unknowingly understood the world situation.
Well, Hitler was actually quite tired... I think his initial idea was to encircle and destroy Fleet H. But at least they occupied Gibraltar, and half of Britain's Mediterranean encirclement had been broken. As for Fleet H, they arrived in Egypt.
In the end, it is completely possible to bypass Africa and return to the Atlantic Ocean. What is this? Jiang Cheng shook his head. Originally, half of the results of the East Atlantic Naval Battle were lost, but now Britain has no way to directly connect the British mainland and Asia through the Mediterranean.
Well, Hitler should feel better if he thought about it this way.
Yu Yishan came in at this time and saw Jiang Cheng, and said happily, Brother Cheng, you are back. By the way, the chairman sent someone yesterday to tell you that you would go find him when you came back. It sounds like you are in a hurry, come on.
Xiao Wang, who reported the news, was a little excited.
Jiang Cheng nodded, grabbed Li Qian without delay, and went to the chairman's residence.
When the chairman saw Jiang Cheng coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Here is the good news. I can't wait to tell you first."
Jiang Cheng asked curiously what good news
It can be seen that the chairman is indeed very excited, and his hands are still shaking. He said, do you know that on May 29, 1942, just yesterday, we finally produced our first airplane. This is the first one.
It hasn't been through many test flights yet, but I... we finally did it
As he spoke, the chairman's eyes turned red. People who have not experienced this period will not understand how much China has suffered in this era because it does not have its own strong industry. It cannot produce tanks, cannons, and aircraft. The enemy is coming.
We can only use our teeth and fists to fight. Up to now, we still rely on the old foundation left over from the Beiyang period of the Qing Dynasty. But now, everything is changing. When the Chairman thinks that the Chinese have their own aircraft, their own tanks and even their own
When he sent his warship to protect his country and nation, his excitement made his whole body tremble.
In fact, it is not impossible to make your own aircraft during the Republic of China. During the Zhang Zuolin period in Northeast China, there was an aircraft manufacturing factory. The Chiang Kai-shek intermediary government even had several aircraft manufacturing factories. For example, there was an aircraft manufacturing factory in Shanghai with up to 100 people, which could produce training aircraft. The one in Guangzhou
Aircraft repair shops can even produce light bombers. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many aircraft manufacturers moved inland and actively learned to imitate Western aircraft. However, unfortunately, due to lack of industrial strength and materials, the annual output was less than 100 aircraft.
, most of which are reconnaissance and trainer aircraft that cannot be used in combat.
Now, although the engine and some parts are still provided by Jiang Cheng from later generations, most of the other materials and parts are produced by the three major border areas, and the aircraft produced are advanced aircraft like the MiG-3. No wonder the chairman is like this
Excited.
Chairman, this is really good news, but we can’t be too excited. Only when we can truly solve the engine problem can we be truly happy. Jiang Cheng can’t forget the decades of pain caused by engines in China’s military industry in later generations.
, even in the modern time and space where Jiang Cheng is, the engine has just been solved, but the road ahead is still long.
The chairman nodded and said that it is true, but it is a happy event after all. By the way, Jiang Jia is preparing to hold a conference in Xi'an and asked us to go too. Have you received it?
Jiang Cheng nodded and said that I did receive a telegram from Chiang Ching-kuo, but he didn't say that he wanted me to go. However, he also told me about this meeting. It is said that many things will be discussed at this meeting. I think it should be about the possibility of the Japanese army going south.
thing.
The chairman hummed and said, "I think so too. Vice Chairman Zhou has been given full authority to represent our party. In addition, Yan Xishan has sent Sun Chu to represent Shanxi. Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon."
Xi'an
At this time, Xi'an was called the rear of the front, and the front of the rear. It turned out that there were still Japanese attacks, but since Shanxi was recaptured by Yan'an, the Japanese have never invaded here again. But what is interesting is that under such circumstances
, Xi'an has accumulated more than 400,000 troops from four armies. In contrast, the guarding troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region are much weaker.
Zhou Guansheng and Sun Chu came to Xi'an by car together. Looking at the streets of Xi'an, Zhou Guansheng couldn't help but sigh.
Why did Duke Zhou sigh? Sun Chu asked. Due to Yan Xishan's persuasion, Sun Chu also accepted the new situation of being led by the Red Party. Sun Chu was originally Yan Xishan's die-hard loyalist. Since he was not Yan Xishan's confidant at the beginning, Yan Xishan became a loyal friend to him.
He was both useful and defensive. When there was a war, he was appointed commander-in-chief and entrusted with important responsibilities. Once the matter was over, he would handle government affairs and seize his military power. Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary had repeatedly tried to win over him, but he had never been tempted. This time, Yan Xishan sent
He went to Xi'an and specifically asked him to set off with Zhou Guansheng, firstly to show his sincerity to the Red Party, and secondly to protect Sun Chu. After this trip, Sun Chu would naturally be different in the hearts of the Red Party.
Zhou Guansheng said, "I just remembered the scene during the Xi'an Incident. Things have changed and people have changed... I don't know what happened to General Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng."
Sun Chu naturally understood this matter very well. He nodded and said that the chairman of the committee could not be said to have made no mistakes in this matter. After all, he had done something wrong back then, but in the end the two generals ended up not seeing the light of day.
.
Zhou Guansheng shook his hand and said no more, this is Xi'an after all.
At this time, Agent Jiang was sorting out his clothes under the service of the servant. Song Meiling finished dressing up and came over in a cheongsam. She looked at Agent Jiang and said, "You are in good spirits today."
Agent Jiang smiled and said that he had just received news that the British Fortress of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean had fallen. Can I be unhappy?
Song Meiling didn't know much about this aspect, but she knew how to make a man happy. She smiled curiously and asked, "Isn't the UK our potential ally? They lost, why should we be happy?"
Agent Jiang snorted, held Soong Meiling's hand and said: Once the Strait of Gibraltar is lost, Britain's control over Asia will be greatly reduced. The Japanese invaders have already coveted Southeast Asia. How can they still resist the Japanese army's march south? I think it will become more and more time.
It's getting close. I recently asked Dai Li to increase his intelligence on the Japanese army. I hope I can get some good news.
In addition, the United States may have felt the approach of the Japanese army moving south. News just came from Ziwen that the United States has promised to give us an additional special loan of US$500 million. With this, we can order a large number of American weapons.
Song Meiling suddenly realized and smiled and said: No wonder Darling is so happy, it is indeed gratifying. Ziwen did not embarrass Darling in the United States.
Chen Brai walked in at this time and told Jiang Jie that Chairman, the meeting will start in half an hour and we should get ready to go.
Agent Jiang nodded, took Soong Meiling's hand and walked out together.
On June 1, 1942, the Xi'an Conference began. The conference was divided into two sessions. The theme of the morning meeting was the food administration meeting, and the afternoon theme was the military and political meeting.
The level of Jiang's speech is quite good. After all, he has made it all the way to this day and always makes the whole situation look bright, making people feel that as long as they work hard, everything will be bright.
It just so happens that in the past few days, it has rained at the right time, and crops everywhere are thriving. This year's grain output will definitely increase, and the harvest will be bountiful. It can be predicted, and it can be said that we are blessed by God. Not only that, yesterday, we received a special allocation from the United States.
Our loan of 500 million US dollars can be said to be a help from people, but God's help and people's help are not enough. We have to help ourselves. Jiang Jing looked at the people below and said that this year is an extremely important year. Huge changes have taken place in the world pattern.
Changes have occurred. The Soviet Union and Germany have gone to war. Japan's economy has been severely damaged by the attack by the United States. It is also foreseeable that the war between the United States and Japan will occur in the near future, and we, China, will become the most important country in Asia to confront Japan.
As the ancients said, before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first. If any province is lagging behind, it must be severely punished.
After speaking, Agent Jiang glanced at everyone and continued to say that Minister Kong Xiangxi will arrange this year's tax work.
Kong Xiangxi stood up and said to colleagues, this year’s taxation work is now arranged. The actual collection quota for this year is 33.34 million city stones, and the purchase quota is 31.7 million city stones. The actual collection quotas of each province are distributed as follows: Sichuan Province, 15 million city stones;
Anhui Province, 2.3 million municipal stones; Guangdong Province, 1.8 million municipal stones; Henan Province, 4.2 million municipal stones....
Everyone below has a worried look on their faces. It is really not easy to meet these quotas.
Kong Xiangxi smiled and said, do you have any other opinions?
Li Peiji stood up timidly and said that Henan has encountered some famine recently. Can some relief be reduced as appropriate?
It can be said that it is common to reduce or reduce taxes when encountering a famine, so other people do not think it is wrong, but are happy to see someone stand out.
Kong Xiangxi glanced at Agent Jiang and said... is this a serious famine?
Li Peiji didn't know whether to say it was serious or not serious. When did it become serious? It was not that he was derelict in his duty and he said it was not serious. Failure to complete the grain collection was also a fatal matter. In the end, he said that there was a flood last year.
There is a drought this year, which is quite serious.
When Agent Jiang saw Li Peiji hesitating, he glared and said that he had no shame at all and no personality at all. He was just spreading rumors. I know that the entire province of Henan has a very good harvest, but you just said that there is a drought.
This sentence frightened Li Peiji to the point where he sat down and did not dare to speak again.
Agent Jiang knew the nature of his people. If he gave them a loophole, he might not be able to collect a penny. In the end, he would still go to the people to ask for the figures according to the figures just reported, and end up lining his own pockets. This is what happened back then.
He has seen a lot.
Agent Chiang hummed that our government is extremely benevolent to the people. It would be too unhelpful to object even to this point of grain requisition.
Not only can the government not tolerate such people, but society as a whole should also attack them and be ashamed to be associated with them.
Everyone looked at Li Peiji, who had his head lowered.
Chiang Kai-shek continued to tell government officials from various places that it had been five years since the War of Resistance, and the government still did not abolish market transactions for the people's surplus grain. It still allowed them to buy and sell freely within the legal scope, and it was still very open-minded about the methods of expropriation and requisition.
The local government asked for opinions. Among the six continents in the modern world, no country in wartime could find such a tolerant government. After speaking, Jiang Jie took a deep breath and felt extremely good. At this time,
The four characters "Benevolent and Righteous Lord" flashed through his mind. To be continued...
