Chapter 1290 You can still make a lot of money by being a little devil
Not to mention that the brigade commander took the lead and drank all the wine. Just because Liu Tuanzuo sent money to everyone, he still had to drink.
It is true that the Eighteenth Army is too poor now.
The 18th Group Army is now under the unified establishment of the national government and naturally has military pay. It can receive 630,000 legal currency every month, including 300,000 in living expenses, 200,000 in war expenses, 50,000 in subsidies, 10,000 in medical subsidies, and 70,000 in rice subsidies.
, it looks like a lot. But this money is not only the salary of the more than 40,000 people in the army, not to mention the loss of weapons and ammunition and the fodder for mules and horses, not to mention the casualty allowances for soldiers and subsidies to their families.
Liu Lang once heard an old man say that in the early days of the war, soldiers received one yuan a month, company and platoon leaders received two yuan, battalion commanders received three yuan, regiment commanders received four yuan, and brigade commanders and division commanders, including the commander-in-chief of the group army, all received five yuan.
In other words, the future general, a dignified major general and brigade commander, will not be able to earn as much as a top soldier in other national troops, even if they still deduct military pay.
As for after 1941, after the two parties had a fight in southern Anhui, they basically broke up. Because the threat of the Japanese army did not require a large-scale deployment of troops and generals, it was considered a good thing to fight first, and the military pay was even more difficult.
Forget it.
It was hard for Liu Lang to imagine how the Red Party Central Committee was able to unite hundreds of thousands of troops under its own banner in that era when there was no military pay. But the fact is that not only did they do it, but they did it brilliantly.
The strategy of besieging the city established the Red Republic.
However, everyone has emotions and desires, and ideals alone cannot be eaten. Everyone is an ordinary person, and they have a family to support behind them.
Having money is naturally much better than having no money.
From the red generals to the red soldiers who finish a bowl of wine excitedly, you can know that they also have a desire for money. Of course, it is not because money can bring them a superior material life, but because it can help their families or the army.
It is also what they desire most.
"However, first of all, let me state that this money was not given by me, Liu Lang, who participated in the battle on the front line. My independent regiment has 4,000 people, your 129th Division has 13,000 people, and the 17th Division also has more than 10,000 people. The total is nearly 30,000.
"Human. Even if my family is relatively wealthy, I, Liu Lang, can't raise so much money. Even if I take off my pants and sell them, I won't be able to do it." Liu Lang said loudly after the audience finished drinking and gradually became quiet.
"Haha, Captain Liu, you are now the leader of the nationally famous anti-Japanese heroes. You are young, promising and handsome. If you put your underwear up for auction, maybe many ladies from all over the world will rush to buy it!" "Li Yunlong" grinned.
A big mouth was giggling and making noises on the side.
Amidst the roar of laughter in the audience, the "crazy warrior" who was obviously a little drunk and in a mood had no idea that the brigade commander next to him had been winking at him desperately.
The beautiful reporter over there was obviously cold at this moment, and she was swiping notes on the paper.
Judging from that appearance, I guess Deputy Commander Wang must have been on reporter Liu Da’s blacklist. It’s really a case of not mentioning anything!
Even if Lang Pang is not a womanizer, a good man who can attract her Liu Xueyuan's attention will naturally attract others.
Every woman has fanciful expectations for her future husband, expecting him to be a world-class hero. But when she falls in love with him, she hopes that he will be more ordinary and only stay in her own world.
This is a contradictory woman.
Obviously, the words of the "crazy warrior" touched on a point that the beautiful reporter has always been worried about. If her face looks good, she is a ghost.
However, what the beautiful reporter wrote back and forth in the notebook was: Captain Liu told the truth after drinking, claiming that in order to raise military funds, his underwear could even be auctioned off, and the target could be a young lady in the waiting room. Anyone who is interested can do so.
Contact the independent group.
Moreover, reporter Liu Da actually reported this passage. Major newspapers and magazines would not be able to deal with such "side news" as Liu Tuanzuo, who once shined in the Battle of the Great Wall and participated in the Great Victory of Shanxi Province.
Let it go easily? It must be on the front page.
Lang Tuan Zao's face remained dark for the next two days.
He has been completely on the blacklist of every major family. It is not impossible to molest women from good families. You can also do it in private. There may be many ladies in the world who want to be molested in private by you, the anti-Japanese hero, but a soldier like you is in the military.
CUHK's nonsense was even heard by Reporter Liu and published in the newspaper, so...
Is that family shameless?
Almost every big family has issued a death order to their daughters. Whenever Liu Tuan is everywhere, he must stay hundreds of miles away. Whoever clings to him will risk the family's reputation.
Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Ji trusts Lang Pang very much. It’s not that he trusts Liu Lang not to be moved by beauty, but why Liu Lang is short of money? Lieutenant Colonel Ji, who knows Liu Lang’s details well, knows that if it weren’t for fear,
The Huashang Group was suppressed by high-level government officials and suspected by the U.S. government. Liu Lang did not withdraw a large amount of U.S. dollars from the United States. Otherwise, his current domestic assets would even be comparable to those of the four major families in the government.
Even so, the funds Liu Lang could mobilize would make ordinary generals stunned.
"Haha, this money and that! But you guys got it yourself." Liu Lang said with a smile.
In the somewhat astonished eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment, including the future general, Liu Lang told the source of what he called the "war participation fee."
"This time, we recaptured the cities of Jingxing and Shimen. Not only did we seize the Japanese army's baggage warehouses, and found 8,000 taels of gold and hundreds of thousands in cash, we also suppressed a group of weaklings who surrendered to the Japanese army. Normally, in their fish and meat villages,
They oppressed the people, and when the country was in crisis, those bastards not only hoarded goods and drove up prices, but also acted as lackeys for the Japanese. For such people, as long as they are Chinese, they should be despised." Liu Lang suddenly smiled,
He said: "Perhaps they finally repented after being spurned by us, so they dispersed their wealth to provide military supplies for our frontline troops to fight against Japan. Then I had no choice but to accept it for everyone."
Amidst another burst of laughter, Deputy Commander Wang asked curiously: "Commander Liu, I don't know how much money our entire army has seized from these profiteers and Japanese invaders this time? Excluding those from the north who stayed to join the army.
How much more can we divide among the officers and soldiers?"
Liu Lang smiled slightly. He knew that in the morning he announced a compensation of 10 yuan and 40 French currency for each of the 15,000 prisoners of war who were willing to stay and join the army. After all, it still made the other officers and soldiers who participated in the war feel a little uncomfortable.
That's human nature. They risked their lives to fight the Japanese and won a great victory. As a result, a group of prisoners of war just chose to pick up their guns again and fight the Japanese. Each of them would get 50 oceans, but they got nothing.
This is a huge injustice to them.
Although "Li Yunlong" may look like a rough man, he is very thoughtful at heart. His questions seemed to be asking the questions in the minds of the officers and soldiers, but on the other hand, he was quietly reminding Liu Lang to give everyone money.
No problem, but it should not be less than the number of northern officers and soldiers newly joining the army, otherwise, everyone will have some objections.
This is the principle of "worry not about scarcity but about inequality".
However, "Li Yunlong" was a little worried. Liu Lang dared to announce to the northern officers and soldiers in the early morning that each person would be given a settlement allowance of 50 oceans, so he was confident.
Liu Lang was about to speak when he saw a short, fat figure in the distance hurriedly walking towards here surrounded by a group of people.
He couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "In this case, I won't tell you how to divide them. I will ask the God of Wealth to come and report the numbers to everyone first, so that everyone can feel at ease first."
"Captain Liu, Han is late, please forgive me." It was late autumn weather, and Han Tianhao, who had changed into a suit and looked like a general manager, was running all the way with sweat on his face.
Under the leadership of Yao Shisan, he ran to Liu Lang who jumped off the big rock and said in fear.
"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late, it's just the right time. You can tell everyone how much money you brought this time. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. Your figure has become much rounder. You need to lose weight." Liu Lang
He laughed, reached out and patted Han Tianhao on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we must reduce it, we must reduce it." Han Tianhao was as confused as if he was pounding garlic.
The future general on the side was a little curious and asked Yao Shisan in a low voice: "Who is this God of Wealth that your family members are talking about! Why does it look like a ball? However, he looks like a rich man."
Although Yao Shisan looked a little embarrassed, he also knew that this person was very close to his group. He looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Langtuan and the fat man. He quietly introduced: "This is from the Huashang Group.
General Manager Han of Shaanxi and Shanxi Headquarters.”
"My day..." The future general couldn't help but utter a curse word that Lang Tuanzao often used on his lips.
As a former underground worker in the Red Army, he knew something about the behemoth Huashang Group. The speed of making money was comparable to that of a money printing machine. The general manager of this province was definitely a glittering tycoon. However, such a figure
In front of Liu Lang, he is just like a follower. In the future, the general will be even more curious about how much influence Liu Shang, who Liu Lang once used as a pseudonym, will have in the Huashang Group.
Is it possible that he can still be the general manager of Huashang Group?
The future general already felt that he was bold enough, but in fact, he was still wrong. His brother Liu actually controlled more than ten times the shares of the general manager.
"Here, tell everyone how much money you brought this time." Liu Lang pointed to the officers and soldiers in front of him who were watching eagerly.
"Yes!" Han Tianhao nodded.
He didn't rush to speak, but waved to the other side, and a dozen people placed the large cash boxes in front of him one after another.
"Brothers of the National Army, this time I was entrusted by Commander Liu to bring some cash that can be exchanged for gold. There are legal tenders and foreign currency. What is here is part of it. I don't know if the amount is enough. If
If it’s not enough, just give me two more days and I will definitely satisfy everyone.”
In front of Liu Lang, he is his younger brother, but in recent years, General Manager Han, who has seen a bigger world, is no longer just a rich man five years ago, and he is not in vain in front of the eagerly watching officers and soldiers.
"How much?" Deputy Commander Wang couldn't help but licked his dry lips.
A dozen big boxes seem like a lot!
Fatty Han waved his hand, and a dozen followers opened the cash box one by one. A pile of barrel-shaped oceans and neatly arranged French currency appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Not much. There are about 50,000 cash and 300,000 French currency here, which is about one-tenth of the total I brought this time."
350,000 is only one tenth, so the total is...
3.5 million?
The huge astronomical figures directly made everyone present feel dizzy with happiness. Everyone is going to make a fortune this time!
I didn't expect that I could make so much money by beating up a kid.
This is Liu Lang's confidence.
In Jingxing County, more than 100,000 yuan was confiscated from the homes of several wealthy families who surrendered to the Japanese. This was only a small part of the money seized during the great victory in Shanxi Province. Including Shimen, eight or nine wealthy families were suppressed and plundered all their money.
The family property is less than 300,000 silver dollars, and the total is only about 400,000 silver dollars. It is not enough to pay more than 10,000 northern officers and soldiers, so why should the 30,000 soldiers who participated in the war be rewarded?
The Japanese army's baggage warehouse found 8,000 taels of gold that they had stolen along the way, but after conversion, it was only more than 300,000 taels in cash. In fact, the largest portion of the money seized this time did not come from the Japanese army's warehouse, but also from the Japanese army's warehouse.
It did not come from the wealthy families who had taken refuge with the Japanese. Even Liu Lang did not expect at first that the bulk of the seizures this time actually came from Japanese officers and soldiers.
Every Japanese soldier who was killed and crippled had more or less gold jewelry and gold jewelry on his body. Especially the lieutenants and sergeants carried far more gold jewelry than ordinary soldiers and generals.
Obviously, they were all stolen from North China in the past three months.
Liu Lang only found out after asking Koizumi, a low-level non-commissioned officer, that the Chinese were poor, and the Japanese were not much better, especially these low-level officers and soldiers. The purpose of coming to China to fight was not to respond to the expansion plan mentioned by the emperor.
The empire's territory makes the empire's military fortune prosperous, and the more important thing is to come to China to make a fortune.
In the past few years, many Japanese soldiers stationed in Northeast China sent the stolen money back to Japan, allowing almost all the families of soldiers in the country to "eliminate poverty and become rich." When they came to North China, they naturally tried their best to make a fortune.
As long as part of the stolen gold and Chinese money is handed over to the chief, the rest can be kept by oneself.
The reason why many people carry it with them is because it is not safe to store it in the military camp. If they die in battle, they will probably be raped by the superior officers. If they carry it with them, they may have fellow villagers and friends to help collect it and send it back to the country. Gold is small in size.
And it’s easy to understand that it’s valuable to carry with you. As for why they also carry Chinese silver that can’t be used in Japan, it’s based on the mentality that mosquitoes are still meat when they are small, just in case they can be exchanged for gold one day!
Because I have been carrying out combat missions for three months, one reason is that I have no time to send the gold home, and the other reason is that I want to grab more and save more, so I still carry it with me.
I'm afraid they didn't expect that in this battle of Jindong, not one or two people died in the battle, but that everyone from the division commander to the small soldiers was basically taken care of. The gold and money they had worked hard to rob for three months were not cheap to the so-called Shangguan.
, but it gave the Chinese army an advantage.
Because of the pre-war regulations, all the seizures found from the corpses of every Japanese soldier must be handed over and then distributed uniformly. Especially those from the 129th Division, which were handed over completely and not a single cent was retained. However, they were based on this
The regiments were handed over to the Independent Regiment Logistics Department in units. Due to the urgent military situation, all division, brigade and regiment commanders did not check the specific figures together. When discussing the distribution of materials, the focus was on grabbing equipment and daily necessities. No one expected that a group of small
How much money could the Japanese devils have? Only Liu Lang knew the specific figures after strict accounting by the Logistics Department.
That number also shocked him.
Damn little Japan, it must have implemented the "Three Lights" policy in advance!
First of all, there is the ocean. A person may not have much, a few dollars less, or a dozen or twenty dollars, but the water forms a pool and the sand forms a tower. Good guy, all 29,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, whether they were killed or captured.
, a total of more than 160,000 foreign currency were found.
But this is not terrible, what is terrible is gold. Gold, gold rings, gold earrings, gold necklaces, gold pendants, all kinds of gold ornaments were put together and weighed, and it turned out to be as high as 47,000 taels. On average, each child
The Japanese took half of the gold and hid it with them.
The gold jewelry with bloodstains still on it proves that those who are ruthless are a bunch of bandits who are desperate to kill.
Not counting the rise in prices caused by the war, even if exchanged according to the pre-war ratio of gold to silver, the value of this batch of gold is as high as 2 million yuan of silver or legal tender used in a one-to-one ratio with the silver.
As the person in charge of Jingxing County of Huashang Group, Zhou Ming has lost the value of continuing to lurk here as the people of Jingxing County have evacuated. Because he contributed so much in this war, he has been transferred back to the headquarters of Huashang Group to serve as a more important person.
position, so he simply handed over all the money hidden in his big house in Jingxing County to Liu Lang. This can be regarded as a genius businessman, and his original intention was just to lurk here to wait for the mission, who
Zhizhi was just doing business by the way, but he made a lot of money. In addition to the 100,000 yuan principal given to him by the Huashang Group, he actually made 800,000 yuan in three years, all of which were converted into gold bars for storage.
With.
Now, adding 160,000 silver dollars, excluding the 750,000 given to the northern officers and soldiers, the money Liu Lang could mobilize would reach 3 million silver dollars.
Since knowing the specific amount of money seized yesterday, Liu Lang urgently called Han Tianhao, who succeeded Miss Gou as the general manager of Shanxi and Shaanxi of the Huashang Group, and was once the richest man in Rehe.
The richest man in the river.
That person has a unique vision. A few years ago, he caught up with Mr. Fan and invested all his wealth to join the Huashang Group. He also practiced overseas for two years and was transferred back to the headquarters of the Huashang Group the year before last. Because Gou
The eldest lady went to work as the assistant to the president of Huamei Company for the little foreign girl, and was recommended by Young Master Fan as the general manager of Huashang Group in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.
Facts have proved that he has also done an excellent job in this position. Not only is he a very successful businessman, but he also handles the things Liu Lang explains very well. At the level of branch general manager, he is naturally qualified to know that Liu Tuanzuo is there.
The existence of the Huashang Group is one of the reasons why a group of businessmen work wholeheartedly for the Huashang Group. Having the huge strength of the Sichuan Army behind them is what every businessman dreams of in this era. Sometimes, money does not come with guns.
It's important to come.
On the same day, he set off from Taiyuan with his troops, carrying legal currency that could be exchanged for 80,000 taels of gold and 500,000 silver coins. Forty minutes before Liu Lang came to the 772nd Group, Yao Shisan had already informed him that Han Tianhao had arrived ten miles away.
The first checkpoint set up by the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment.
In forty minutes, this man rode his horse for ten miles on the dark mountain road. It was obvious that he was still working very hard.
"These 350,000 yuan belong to the 772nd Regiment. In addition to the 300 yuan for each officer killed in battle and 150 yuan for each seriously injured officer, the rest is the combat allowance for each officer and soldier who participated in the war. The average for the entire regiment is 100 yuan per person." Liu Lang's voice continued.
Some silence echoes in the valley.
"How about it, do you feel good about fucking the little devil?"
"Cool......"
The roaring that shook the sky caused rocks to roll down the hillside.
Perhaps, there is nothing more exciting than this.
Killing little devils not only achieves military success, but also makes money.
Make big money.
"Should I drink this wine?"
"Should!"
"Then, can we collectively worship the God of Wealth with three bowls?"
"become!"
Money is intoxicating, but wine is even more intoxicating! Brothers, who will go out lying down?
The future general drank three bowls of wine vigorously, and the wine was no less than that of Deputy Commander Wang, who was laughing so hard that his teeth were boiling.
