Starfruit may receive subsidies and bonuses as high as thirty thousand rubles, although it is far less than her husband's one million bounty. Thirty thousand rubles is really a huge sum of money in her hands.
"Dear, let me emphasize again, your money is yours, I don't care how you want to use it."
"So, I will definitely get this money after dawn?"
"Maybe." He pinched his wife's nose and said, "I really can't tell that you are also a money addict?"
"Who isn't? Besides, it's my money. You worked a lot for the Soviet Union, and I did the same. Of course I want to get this money and do great things."
"Hey, what a great thing?" Yang Mingzhi became interested and asked softly: "How do you want to spend it? I don't really want you to spend all your money on clothes and jewelry. If you want to buy clothes, I will give them to you.
I’ve bought it all. When the baby is born, I’ll cover all the expenses.”
"That's of course, you are the mainstay. As for my money, I don't care about new clothes or gem necklaces. Compared with those things, we are happy to be alive. I...I want to use it to support China, this
Is the plan okay?"
"This is a great ideal."
She mentioned a problem that Yang Mingzhi had to face!
Yang Mingzhi was just a small person at the beginning. Under the influence of the torrent of history, he was no longer small and could even exert great power.
Should we support China? Of course, in line with our own hearts, this is a must.
Yang Mingzhi has always thought that after this protracted war, the Soviet Union will desperately recover from the war wounds, and China, which was once divided, will coalesce into a whole. A new China will vigorously develop its economy, but economic development requires financial support.
Now what Yang Mingzhi will get is the 198 version of the ruble. He remembers that the Soviet Union issued a new currency after the war to stabilize the domestic economy that was in chaos due to the serious over-issuance of currency. This matter actually does not require any foresight, thanks to the generalists of New China.
Thanks to education, Yang Mingzhi is indeed engaged in the military industry and has a certain understanding of economic theory.
The entire alliance has been over-issuing currency on a large scale, and the rewards for soldiers have been excessive, and the number of soldiers is as high as 20 million.
Today's one million rubles may shrink into one hundred thousand new rubles. Even so, according to the current global gold standard currency structure, one hundred thousand rubles is equivalent to genuine gold.
"If at that time, I donate all the winnings, I will become a hero in China." He thought for a moment and realized that this was inevitable.
Yang Tao's idea was very straightforward. Once he got 30,000 rubles, he would immediately save it. When the little Japanese surrendered, the money would be given to his comrades.
"elder brother."
"well."
"Before the war is won, I will work hard to save money. After the war is won, China's construction will need money. I will give all my money to our Chinese comrades. Only in this way can I live up to my conscience."
"Yes, I understand." Yang Mingzhi, stroking his wife's long hair, lowered his voice again, "If we want to live a happy life, we must not forget our Chinese fathers and fellow villagers. That's what you think."
"That's what I think. After sacrificing so many comrades, everyone hopes that life will get better. We are the only two people in the entire team who survived. Now that I have a huge sum of money, I must take it to China and ask the comrades at home to build China.
.As you said, China will be more prosperous and powerful than the Soviet Union in a few decades, and the people will be even happier."
"It was an unprecedented prosperous age. By that time, Chinese people had already had enough to eat, and many people had become fat because of eating too much meat, drinking too much oil, and even eating sugar every day. By then, China
The little devil who is now rampant after reviving to become the world's most powerful country will have no choice but to grovel at that time, haha."
"Well, I wonder if I can see that day? If I can, I will be an old woman."
"Yes. Of course I will."
"Let's do this, brother." Yang Tao came over and put it in front of her husband. "You have one million rubles, just save it all, and when the time comes, we will take it to China. A huge sum of money will definitely make a huge contribution, so
I can tell our fallen comrades that we have lived up to their hopes."
Yang Mingzhi was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "You are a little naive."
"What? You object?"
"I support it. I have told you a long time ago that everyone has his own destiny for his soul. I will not trust you and me just because we have become Soviet citizens. Even Stalin also feels that I support the Soviet Union.
As an internationalist fighter in the Great Patriotic War, my real motherland is still China. But he needs me, so he gives me many rewards. He only hopes that I can stay and continue to be used by him in the future."
With these words, Yang Tao suddenly heard something strange.
"Could it be that you...you still want to return to China?"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable! I think it is safest to stay here. As for the money, they are actually real gold. Giving it to China in the future is also my obligation as a descendant of the Yanhuang Dynasty. In this way, when future generations evaluate me, Yang Mingzhi, they will
Give me a good review."
"Then save all the money." Yang Tao said softly.
Her heart has been deeply moved. When it comes to feelings, she can't let go of her homeland. She can't let go of Belarus, where she has been fighting for more than a year.
"Okay! Try to save money as much as possible. This is what you should do. But necessary consumption is still necessary. I never wanted to be a miser. During the day, I had a great chat with Stalin, my dear..."
"Um."
"I will be prosperous in the future, and one million rubles is just the beginning. Maybe when the time comes, we may have millions of rubles on hand. If we donate this money, we will leave our name in history."
Yang Mingzhi strongly believed that Stalin's understanding of China was actually very superficial.
It is said that a once great nation will never sink. China stands tall in the world because of its "vast giants". China can fall into bloody internal strife and warlord rule. Now powerful enemies are targeting the entire China, a fragmented China.
The people were united in resisting the war.
A century of turmoil is coming to an end. China, united as one, has an unstoppable development trend that no country can suppress.
The reason is extremely simple. In the past hundred years, facing the sinking China, various characters on this land have used various methods to save this ancient country. The people must fight and change the destiny of the country. Only in this way can they be worthy of their ancestors.
Because 500 million people share a common ancestor, the people will eventually win the final victory, and only this kind of China is the real root in Yang Mingzhi's heart.
In less than ten years, everything has changed, and everything has just begun.
Yang Mingzhi has already thought that the million rubles he sent at that time was really a timely help.
A beautiful dream has already appeared in the minds of the Yang family and his wife. With happy smiles, they rested quietly in the huge Kremlin.
…
Moscow is still busy at night.
Today's urban air defense system is more complete. Stalin is in the city. The Soviet army has set up iron barrel formations around Moscow. Most of these garrison troops are also the strategic reserves of the Western Front.
Every day, either from the Ural region or further away in Siberia, newly formed troops get off the train in Vladimir and Moscow on military columns coming from the east. The new troops will receive supplies in Moscow.
Then replace the troops on the front line who suffered heavy casualties.
In order to agree to the war, both the Soviet Union and Germany were racing against time.
Yang Mingzhi left the swamp, and the guerrilla war in Belarus will only become more targeted - the German army's logistics line will be more fragile.
The Soviet army also needs to strengthen its defense, and it must strengthen its defense. Because Zhukov was transferred to command the tragic defense of Stalingrad, the current battle situation on the northern front is still crisscrossed. The Soviet army does not have any strategic counterattack plan, and small-scale fierce battles occur every day.
, it will never turn into a battle.
There is no other reason. The Soviet Union and Germany on the northern front currently do not have strong strategic mobile forces. In other words, both sides have thought of desperately increasing their troops to overwhelm the enemy. However, the main battlefield has changed. Now the Don River, Volga River and even the Caucasus
, the Soviet Union and Germany transferred almost all their elite troops there.
The Soviet Union was engaged in a strategic decisive battle with its enemies that would determine the fate of the country. All arsenals across the alliance were operating at full capacity. Trucks loaded with artillery shells were driving south one after another, and military columns passed by every ten minutes.
Moscow is the largest transportation hub in the Soviet Union. Yang Mingzhi and Yang Tao were tired all day long, and they were not awakened by the continuous train whistle at all.
The hundreds of thousands of citizens who stayed behind also accepted the new normal of constant trains, and completely obeyed the state's arrangements, working hard to produce huge amounts of ammunition. Basically, the new shells produced in the morning could be loaded on the military trains going south in the afternoon, which was inefficient.
said.
It's getting daylight, and most workers on the day shift have to rush to their respective workplaces before eight o'clock to take over the duties of their colleagues on the night shift.
In extraordinary times, factories that still insisted on production generally adopted a two-shift system. For the victory of the war, the workers resolutely sacrificed everything. In exchange, the factory provided meals for the workers.
People are very adaptable to harsh conditions. As long as we ensure that we will not starve to death or die of thirst, there will never be chaos in Moscow.
The factory will provide each worker with three free meals, although the amount is small. Wages are still paid, and unemployed family members can also receive rations. In line with the principle of eating as much as possible, quite a few workers get up at dawn, just for
Run to the factory cafeteria early, get free breakfast, and then devote yourself to cannonball processing.
Yang Mingzhi, who was sleeping, could not have imagined that Moscow would suddenly become lively after dawn.
Before the war, this city had a population of three to four million, and the population was increasing rapidly. After large-scale evacuation, there were still one million soldiers and civilians in the city.
There will be morning rush hour on the wide roads in the morning. For Moscow, the weather is already late autumn, and middle-aged people wearing Suba coats and marching hats are everywhere.
Another group of characters that can be seen everywhere are the aunts wearing headscarves. They are so anxious that they go out early in the morning with only one purpose, which is to go to the state-owned stores to see if the night train has brought some cheap goods. No matter what is brought, it is
I bought some embroidery needles when I found them.
After all, even the "Eternal Capital" is now experiencing a shortage of supplies. The Soviet Union only deliberately raised the prices of some materials related to the combat effectiveness of the army. Quite a few daily necessities are still at the same price, provided of course that they can be purchased.
As early as 6:30 in the morning, Captain Larin and his entourage arrived at the Kremlin in advance.
Today, Stalin will continue his daily work, and some important officials will gather in Building 2. The Soviet leader will summon the heroic sniper Natasha this morning. This has nothing to do with Yang Mingzhi, nor with Captain Larin.
It doesn't matter anymore.
During the night, the captain stayed in the lounge of the Lubyanka office building. At dawn, he received all of his tasks for the day.
The task is a bit complicated, and everything is so-called "allowing General Berekov to settle down in Moscow smoothly."
The arrogant captain arrived at the Grand Kremlin Palace and quickly approached the room where Yang Mingzhi was sleeping soundly.
He called the female staff on duty: "What did the general say at night?"
"No. Everything was quiet. I heard something vaguely in the first half of the night. It was in Chinese. Even I couldn't understand it."
"Ability still needs to be improved." The captain didn't have time to chat with the lower-level personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and continued to ask: "Is the general getting up?"
"No. And the door is locked from behind."
"Okay, take out the keys."
Several women understood the meaning immediately. Anna, the leader, said worriedly: "Isn't this rude?"
"The general won't mind. The leader has issued an order, and the general must execute it as quickly as possible. Today, I have to offend him."
The locked door was opened, and the captain saw that the Berekovs were still sleeping soundly on the large soft bed.
"It seems you are really too tired." After thinking about it, the captain couldn't help but yawn.
He was not in a hurry to wake up the general immediately. Although it was unjust to monitor a general, it was the decision of his superiors and the captain had no way to interfere. However, the general consciously carried out some anti-monitoring operations and only saw the most critical bug.
The receiving part is still weighed down by a lot of clothes.
That was definitely not an accidental act, it was something the general did intentionally.
The captain, who was already in the wrong, was very sensible and thought about it in his mind. If the general asked about this matter, he had already thought of a reason to stop him.
Captain Larin composed himself, knocked hard on the door a few times, and said, "Comrade General, it's already morning."
"Comrade General! It's already eight o'clock in the morning, we still have important things to do!"
He knocked three times in a row, and the sleepy Yang Mingzhi reluctantly twisted a few times, gently pushed his wife holding his arm, and then slowly sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"What's going on? Didn't I give an order? Abram, don't burst into the dormitory suddenly."
"Ah! I'm so sorry, Comrade General. But it's already..."
Before the captain finished speaking, Yang Mingzhi, who had regained his consciousness, suddenly realized that this was not a swamp, but the Kremlin, and the visitor was also Captain Larin.
"Oh, you don't have to say it. It's really embarrassing. I thought I was still in Gomel."
In the style of a soldier, Yang Mingzhi took off the blanket and dropped it to the ground. Then he shook his wife to wake up. Regardless of whether she liked it or not, she had to change her clothes in the shortest possible time.
While getting dressed, he asked, "Does your superior have any arrangements? By the way, please tell me your arrangements for today."
"As ordered, Comrade General..."
When Yang Mingzhi got dressed, he knew exactly what his schedule was for today.
In fact, there are three major things:
First, in the morning, I went to the guerrilla movement headquarters to report on my work and visit the commander-in-chief Ponomarenko.
Second, go to the savings bank to confirm the allowances and bonuses.
Third, receive housing.
All three are important tasks!
Yang Mingzhi only knew Ponomarenko's appearance from the two-inch black-and-white ID photo provided by Lyudbarev. They had not met each other for more than a year. He believed that he would hit it off with that person during the morning meeting.
This is a public matter, the rest is private matter.
A huge sum of money and a mansion, this was Stalin's reward. To settle down in the Soviet Union, a good and pleasing house was a must. However, because of the trouble at night, Yang Mingzhi had to doubt the new house. (To be continued)
