The commander didn't care, he looked at Zhou Wen's bitter face with a smile. Who just poked the old man's soft spot, are you feeling better now? The old man just wanted to let you taste the feeling of being hungry, and not make you feel uncomfortable.
The old man felt uncomfortable. You are such a little boy, but you still dare to fight with me. If I don't give you a taste, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has.
There was no rush at the moment, he squatted down on the teacup and took a sip of tea, then pointed to the teacup with a smile and motioned for Zhou Wen to refill the tea.
As soon as Zhou Wen saw the commander's posture, he knew that this old fox must have something to arrange for himself. This meant that he had to figure it out first before he could use it.
I had no choice but to grimace, pick up the teapot and refill the tea for the Marshal. I didn’t rush him when I was done, and just waited quietly for the Marshal’s instructions.
The commander felt comfortable enough, so he said: "In the newly established Taiyuan Appeasement Office this time, you will have the position of senior counselor in it. You will participate in the tactics against Japan and the various security systems you mentioned.
Plan and provide timely advice, after all, only you can truly know the meaning."
Zhou Wen was surprised. You must know that the senior councilor position of a provincial office during this period was not low, which meant that he was already a prominent figure in the provincial government. He could also participate in some major decisions of the province at any time. Generally, the provincial government
Some knowledgeable and respected social celebrities hold the position. This is not only an official position, but also a symbol of honor and social status.
It was not very suitable for a young man like me to serve as such a senior councilor. Moreover, my mind was not in this field, and I did not have so much time to spend in the office all day long. So I immediately thought of an excuse to turn down this position.
Zhou Wen hesitated and said: "My nephew is flattered by the commander's attention. However, as an official of the provincial party headquarters and sent from Nanjing, it is probably inappropriate for my nephew to serve as a consultant on local administration, let alone us.
Which person in Nanjing should I be taboo about..."
"What is taboo or not? If the old man appoints a talented young man from Shanxi as a senator, he can bite the old man's balls? Besides, the old man can rest assured that an official sent by him will participate in political affairs, so what else can he be worried about?
Humph! What happened to the officials of the Provincial Party Headquarters? The old man is still wishing that they would remove this bullshit security director of your Provincial Party Headquarters right now. That would be great, and the old man will immediately appoint you to a bigger official."
The commander-in-chief had a dark face and dismissed Zhou Wen's excuse in one sentence.
Whenever Zhou Wen mentioned someone in Nanjing, he would become sour and resentful, and now he would start swearing, so he had no choice but to shut up.
"One more thing. When you were the director of the Security Department of the Provincial Party Headquarters, another task of you as a senior counselor was to help the old man establish an intelligence warfare organization. Anyway, the police station is also under your jurisdiction.
The old man will not bother you about anything. You can think of the name of the organization. When the time comes, the old man will send some people to study with you. The initial funds will be allocated part of the benefits you made in the arsenal, and the rest of the old man will be free of charge.
debt."
Zhou Wen quits now. You old fox wants to let the horse run but is reluctant to let the horse eat grass. I will help you train your intelligence personnel, help you build an organization, and help you buy equipment. Just say this lightly.
Is debt forgiveness the end of it?
You need to know where the equipment related to the intelligence system is cheap, what recruitment and training personnel, what radio stations, radio monitoring equipment, deciphering equipment, telescopes, cameras, bugs, etc., as well as a large number of means of transportation, and the development of subordinate agencies.
All require a lot of money and expenses.
Do you want to build an intelligence system from scratch but don’t want to spend money? Don’t tell me that I just owe you one million yuan, and you are the old man who calculated this number yourself. I have to do a good calculation when I go back to see if it is worth it.
One million. But even one million, this amount of money is far from enough for intelligence work. One million US dollars is about the same.
He was not angry at the moment, and said with a smile: "Commander, there is no distinction between public and private matters. It was indeed wrong for my nephew to take things without telling me before. I will apologize to you here. But tomorrow at the latest, nephew
Then I can submit the account to you clearly, as much as it should be, and I will give it all to you tomorrow without any default, so there is no such thing as any debt.
As for the establishment of the intelligence agency, my nephew will definitely do his part. When he goes back, he will make a plan. What is needed and how to develop it will be clearly presented to you. As for the funds, we will think about it after my nephew's budget comes out.
There are not many ways to do it now.
Speaking of which, my nephew has another unkind request. Weren't you absent some time ago? For the future cause of anti-Japanese war, my nephew wanted to take advantage of peacetime to have more war reserves, so he imported several sets of production bullets and
The artillery shell equipment has been abandoned now. My nephew is thinking of setting up an ammunition branch factory in Lishi County, under the name of Taiyuan Arsenal. My nephew will raise the funds for the factory by himself. All he needs is your nod.
It’s just the production of ammunition, it won’t involve guns and artillery.”
This is actually about negotiating terms with the Marshal. Anyway, I am not your subordinate. To help you come up with ideas and remind you or something like that is to fulfill the obligations of a Shanxi people with lofty ideals and righteousness. I am here today.
Everything is earned through my own efforts, not as a reward from your commander-in-chief. It’s not impossible to do things for you, but it has to be beneficial to both parties, right?
The commander is also not happy. I put some burden on you because the old man thinks highly of you. If you dare to talk to me, I will make terms with you. But when it comes to business, just follow the business rules. Then the old man will have to do it.
Calculated and calculated.
Then he said with a tigerish face again: "This is okay, but I want half of the ammunition produced, and the bill will be based on the cost price. Since you keep saying that you are for the cause of resisting Japan, you can't make money from the old man."
"Is this really true? I can only give you 30%. Please consider our mercenary group. My nephew is still responsible for the military expenses of the guards and the Lishi Security Team under the Security Department.
, from its establishment to now, it has never asked for a penny from the provincial government.”
"Don't mess around with me, old man. That guard team, the security team, has become a subsidiary of your security department. If you want military expenses, you have to go to your provincial party headquarters. It's none of my business, old man. This matter is not negotiable. You want it?"
It’s okay to open an ammunition factory, but just take out 50% of the products, otherwise if the old man doesn’t nod, you can just let the machines rot in the warehouse.”
What Zhou Wen wants is this sentence. Well, you said that the guards and security teams are none of your business. From now on, they will become legitimate affiliated units of the mercenary group. Don't regret it then, you old fox.
