Gui Longhai didn't understand and couldn't help but open his eyes.
Zhai Zhenchuan sneered and continued: "To be honest, Section Chief Gui, last month, the military salary from the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command was not paid in full! Only two-thirds were paid! This month it was even less, and the superiors only paid half! Gui
Section Chief, the reliable information I have received is that this time the military pay is short of money, not because someone has embezzled it! It is indeed because of insufficient military funds! To be honest, my commander can understand the withholding of military pay this time, and so can I!"
Gui Longhai was a little surprised by this situation and looked at him motionless, waiting for him to continue.
There was anger hidden in Zhai Zhenchuan's eyes, but also helplessness.
He said softly: "Chief Gui, the general situation is this. In the past two years, military expenditures have been huge! Importing weapons from the Soviet Union! Reorganizing and expanding the army! Building fortifications on the front line in North China! A large amount of materials have been moved south or west! These are all needed
Funds! It’s a huge amount of money! Therefore, our military salaries have not been allocated in full! In normal times, I can completely understand! I believe that every soldier in the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command can also understand! I won’t say anything! But this time
The difference is that my Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters wants to fight! It’s in Shanghai! It’s fighting the Japanese!”
His last few words were not loud, but they were heavy and powerful. There was a lump in his chest, and it seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time, and he might finally let it out today! His eyes stared at Gui Longhai more firmly!
Hearing this, Gui Longhai couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Is there really going to be a war here in Shanghai?"
"Yes!" Zhai Zhenchuan stared at him sharply, his tone even more unquestionable, "There must be a war! This is a battle that cannot be avoided! It must be fought! Last night, the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command held its second combat meeting
Got it!"
"But! But! Director Zhai, you sold so many weapons!" Gui Longhai asked with his mouth wide open.
Zhai Zhenchuan slammed the table hard and glared at him, "Because I still owe the soldiers their military pay! They are about to go to the front line to fight! Go through life and death! Go bleed! Go die! But, I, the chief of the logistics department, owe
Their military pay! I wish I could smash my head into powder, turn it into military pay, and give it to my soldiers!"
At this time, there was no sound at all in the private seats. Gui Longhai and Zhai Zhenchuan stared at each other with surprise and shock in their eyes.
Gui Longhai saw it, and Zhai Zhenchuan was so angry that he couldn't control it. His eyes turned red at this moment, and he stared at him as if he wanted to eat someone!
He said: "Chief Gui, for the next battle, I must find a way to fill this gap! Let my soldiers go to the battlefield with peace of mind! Even if they sacrifice, they must get their military pay before they die! Chief Gui
, I only have so many spare guns! I want to use these guns to supplement military pay!"
Gui Longhai never expected that behind the arms business, there would be such a situation!
War suddenly flashed before his eyes! Those artillery fires, those rains of bullets, and those soldiers who were shot and fell! In a war, those soldiers are the first to die!
At this time, he suddenly thought that it was really important for the soldiers to get their military pay before they sacrificed their lives!
He asked softly: "Director Zhai, haven't you already reached an agreement with Mrs. Hong?"
Zhai Zhenchuan shook his head, "It's still not enough! My shortfall is 40,000 yuan! After completing the business with Mrs. Hong, I can only get 30,000 yuan! I still have a shortfall! Chief Gui, this is my problem!
"
"So, you hope that if you can reach a deal with Boss Zhang, you can fill this gap?"
"Yes! I hope Boss Zhang's price is forty yuan a gun!"
"Then, why are you looking for me? Doesn't Boss Zhang want to do this business? Why don't you discuss it with Boss Zhang? Isn't that more direct?"
After hearing this, Zhai Zhenchuan didn't speak for a while. He silently poured wine for Gui Longhai, raised it, touched it with him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the cup, he said softly: "Chief Gui, I heard that your road is quite rough! You have some friendship with Boss Zhang and Mrs. Hong. First, I hope Boss Zhang can make up for my shortcomings. However,
This may be difficult. Boss Zhang is also a businessman. I am not sure whether he can make up for my shortcomings. So, I need your help. Secondly, I am very sorry to Mrs. Hong this time, and I hope she will not hold a grudge against me.
From a emotional point of view, it would be very difficult for me if she didn't quit. I believe you understand what I mean. This also requires you to smooth things over. Chief Gui, this is the purpose of me looking for you! I hope you can help me! Say
Just a few words, I hope you can help my soldiers!"
When Gui Longhai heard this, his heart became heavy and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He didn't expect that the situation would be like this! This made him very embarrassed, very, very embarrassed!
First, although he has had some dealings with Boss Zhang, he is not sure whether he can persuade him to buy these arms at a high price. Boss Zhang must also make money in this business!
Second, even if he had the ability to hire Boss Du and persuade Boss Zhang to raise the price, he would not be able to drag Boss Zhang into the Longda Company owned by Director Luan Shigui’s father-in-law! If Boss Zhang notices that Longda
The company is suffering huge losses, which will not only anger him, but may even affect the arms trade!
Thirdly, if he helps Director Zhai, he will definitely offend Mrs. Hong, and Mrs. Hong is someone he cannot afford to offend!
He weighed these things over and over in his mind, and felt that Director Zhai's matters were the most important!
Those soldiers are going to the battlefield! They are going to fight the Japanese! It is almost certain that many soldiers will pay their lives! Let them get their military pay, let them get their military pay before they sacrifice, damn, it is more important than anything else
!
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said seriously: "Director Zhai, can you give me a few days and let me think of a way. After all, fighting those Japanese is a top priority! I will definitely find a way to deal with you.
thing!"
Zhai Zhenchuan was obviously very satisfied with this answer and nodded to him with a smile.
He said: "Chief Gui, there is another situation that I believe you can understand. The purpose of selling arms is to raise military pay. However, once this matter gets out and is published in the newspaper, brother, I will
Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to escape!”
Gui Longhai immediately nodded and said: "Director Zhai, please rest assured, I understand this."
At this time, Staff Officer Liang stood up gently and poured wine for both Gui Longhai and Zhai Zhenchuan.
He raised his glass and said: "Chief Gui, on behalf of the fellow soldiers, thank you! Do it!"
They drank wine together.
After Staff Liang put down his wine glass, he suddenly lifted up his shirt, took out two pistols from his waist, and placed them firmly on the table.
He said with a stern face: "Chief Gui, I ask you to understand what Chief Zhai just said! If this matter is leaked, I guarantee that anyone who knows will die! I will do what I say!"
Gui Longhai looked at him with a murderous look on his face, and of course he knew that he would definitely do what he said! He would never dare to leak it. But there were already many people who knew about this! He looked at Staff Liang's face, and still felt a little timid.
Shocking.
At this time, Zhai Zhenchuan shook his hand and said: "Jin Kai, don't be like this, I believe that Section Chief Gui will handle it properly! Am I right, Section Chief Gui?"
He spoke very gently, but his eyes were very stern, staring directly at Gui Longhai.
Gui Longhai understood that if this matter went wrong, he might not be the only one to die!
5-17
Just as Gui Longhai watched Liang Jinkai pick up the gun on the table and slowly insert it into his waist, Xiao Ancheng and Chen Zifeng discovered something unusual at Zhabei Railway Station, and they couldn't help but touch the gun in their waist.
.
They found a Japanese agent here!
Xiao Ancheng's day was full of ups and downs. As a result, his mood was turbulent, like a seesaw.
In the morning, as soon as he arrived here, he saw a brutal fight in the station square.
He unexpectedly saw Liao Ruolan here. She was trying her best to protect a Japanese. He had to rush to the rescue. However, when they pulled out their guns, Ruolan discovered her identity.
He painfully understood that it was impossible for him to explain to her. Her eyes full of reproach and sorrow also prevented him from coming forward to explain. He didn't know what to do in the future. Do you want Ruolan to misunderstand me forever?
At noon, he met Gui Longhai and a female doctor named Fu Xuelan here again.
This was another thing that made him feel strange. Gui Longhai accompanied Dr. Fu to pick up relatives, but did not pick up the relatives.
Xiao Ancheng had a strange feeling here. He unreasonably guessed whether the relative Dr. Fu picked up had something to do with the CCP leader he was looking for.
He could see from Dr. Fu's alert eyes that she knew who he and Yang Sanqiang were!
She even meant to say that she hadn’t received her relatives, maybe her relatives had already arrived!
Throughout the next afternoon, he was tired and helpless. He and Yang Sanqiang went to the station exit again and again to observe.
Now, he no longer cares where the car comes from. As long as someone leaves the station, they will stand at the exit and observe.
However, he didn't find anyone unusual.
Yang Sanqiang couldn't help but sigh and said: "We are just blind cats trying to kill mice! It's all in vain to see!"
Xiao Ancheng is even more anxious. If Chen Zifeng sends others to observe tomorrow, he doesn't know what the result will be.
He hopes that this comrade will show up today. Maybe he can protect him!
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the last train from Peiping was about to arrive at the station. He wondered whether this comrade would be on this train.
It happened that at this time, Chen Zifeng came. Xiao Ancheng was a little confused. Could it be that he was also here to wait for this train?
At this time, he suddenly thought of Ruolan, immediately grabbed Chen Zifeng's arm, and whispered in his ear: "Zifeng, I saw Ruolan! This morning!"
Chen Zifeng turned around and stared at him, as if he didn't recognize him anymore. There was tension, surprise, and uneasiness in his eyes.
But what he said was: "Can you explain two sentences clearly?"
