As soon as the discussion was completed here, Qian Dajun, the director of the chamberlain's room, came in and reported: "Commission, Minister Song has arrived." ”

"Oh, Ziwen has arrived?" Chairman Jiang nodded, and then ordered Qian Dajun to say, "Dajun, let Ziwen wait for me in the small conference room on the second floor first, and I'll come." ”

Qian Dajun answered yes and turned to leave.

Chairman Jiang said to Bai Chongxi and the others: "You are busy, I will go to see Ziwen first." ”

After speaking, Chairman Chiang left the battle hall and walked straight to the small conference room on the second floor.

As soon as the two met, Song Ziwen asked, "Chairman, are you going to borrow money again?" ”

"Let's not talk about borrowing money." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the tax police corps first." ”

"Tax Police Corps?" When Song Ziwen heard this, a trace of unhappiness immediately flashed across his face, and he said, "I have already handed over the personnel power of the general regiment to you, what else do you want?" ”

The Tax Police Corps was created by Song Ziwen, and was originally intended to become the Song family's private army, but after the outbreak of the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident, it was forcibly taken over by Chairman Jiang in the name of the Anti-Japanese War.

As soon as Chairman Jiang heard this, he knew that Song Ziwen had misunderstood.

At that moment, Chairman Jiang hurriedly smiled and said: "Ziwen, this is not the case, what I want to ask is, is there an officer named Zhong Yi in the Tax Police Corps, who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, but was later transferred to Jinshanwei as a security captain, is there such a thing?" ”

Song Ziwen said: "Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

Chairman Jiang said: "Just tell me, is there such a thing?" ”

"There's such a thing." Song Ziwen frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Chairman Jiang then asked: "Three years ago, you sent Zhong Yi to the United States West Point Military Academy for further study, presumably because you thought he was a manufacturable material, so three years later, when he returned from West Point, you should reuse him, but why did you send him to Jinshanwei as a security captain?" ”

Song Ziwen frowned, and said, "I said chairman, are you idle?" actually personally asked about a little Jinshan guard security captain? ”

Chairman Jiang was surprised and said, "You don't know? ”

Song Ziwen said angrily: "What do I know? ”

"Didn't you listen to the radio?" Chairman Chiang said, "The Central News Agency." ”

"Listen to the radio? I'm so busy with this, where do I have time to listen to any radio? Song Ziwen said impatiently, "I said you have anything important?" I can't go without me. ”

In the whole world, I am afraid that only Song Ziwen dares to talk to Chairman Jiang like this.

Of course, the reason why Song Ziwen dared to talk to Chairman Jiang like this was not because he was Chairman Jiang's wife and brother, but because he was Chairman Jiang's God of Wealth, and he was firmly holding Chairman Jiang's money bag in his hand! Without Song Ziwen's support, Chairman Jiang would have ended up in a matter of minutes!

Chairman Jiang coughed lightly and said, "Let me tell you this, this Zhong Yi, whom you sent out of the country three years ago, has just won a battle in Jinshanwei, and it is a big victory!" With half a battalion of troops, he defended Jinshan and Haiphong for two days and nights, and killed more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers! ”

"What do you say?" Song Ziwen's mouth is big enough to swallow goose eggs!

Chairman Jiang was very satisfied with Song Ziwen's reaction, and said with a smile: "So, Ziwen, I have to thank you, thank you for cultivating a rare military wizard for the party-state!" Scold! ”

After a long time, Song Ziwen finally reacted, frowned and said, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to lie to you." Chairman Jiang paused when he said this, and then continued, "It seems that the coverage of the Central News Agency is still too small, and I have to ask Jingzhi to increase its propaganda efforts, and let the military and people of all China know about this great news in addition to international friends!" ”

Song Ziwen's brows tightened more and more, and he whispered, "It shouldn't be, how can it be?" ”

Chairman Jiang didn't hear Song Ziwen's self-talk, and the old words were brought up again: "Ziwen, now you can tell me the truth, why did you send Zhong Yi to Jinshanwei?" ”

Song Ziwen said coldly: "I don't like him, can't I?" ”

"Don't like him?" Chairman Chiang was stunned when he heard this.

Song Ziwen didn't mean to explain at all, and turned around to leave.

Chairman Jiang knew that Song Ziwen was not going to tell him the reason, but fortunately, there was no urgency in this matter, and he could still slowly figure out the hidden situation in the future.

At that moment, Chairman Jiang said to Song Ziwen again: "Ziwen, don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have a matter." ”

After a slight pause, Chairman Jiang said: "You see, the scale of the Sino-Japanese war is getting bigger and bigger, and now not only North China has become a pot of porridge, but the Songhu battlefield has used nearly one million troops, so many troops have gathered in the Songhu battlefield, and the daily consumption of money and food is an astronomical amount. ”

"Borrow money?" Song Ziwen stood up and said loudly, "The money is gone, the central bank has long been an empty shell, anyway, I can't get a penny, how much can you see how much my hundred or ten catties can be worth?" Let's sell it! It can be regarded as a person in my Song Dynasty who made a modest contribution to the great cause of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. ”

After finishing speaking, Song Ziwen turned around and walked away.

Seeing Song Ziwen's back go away, Chairman Jiang's brows slowly frowned.

Chairman Jiang is worried, of course, it will not be Zhong Yi, no matter how good Zhong Yi is in Jinshanwei, he is only a company-level officer after all, although Chairman Jiang has given birth to the idea of loving talents, but he has not taken Zhong Yi to heart for the time being, and now Chairman Jiang is most worried about the state finances!

In a word, the national government is on the verge of bankruptcy!

In peacetime, a government spends 3% of GDP on military spending, which is already very remarkable!

For example, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan spent more than 10% of its GDP on military spending, which is very rare in the world.

But what about the Republic of China?

Since the Beiyang period, military spending has never been less than 30% of GDP!

Most of the time, military spending is as high as 50% or even 70% of GDP!

By the time the Sino-Japanese war broke out in full force this year, the military expenditure of the Republic of China had reached 100% of GDP or even higher, which means that it was not enough for the people of the whole country to use all the wealth they created to fight the war without eating or drinking, but also to advance part of next year's income!

What else can you do if you are so poor? Can only be borrowed! Borrow from the Soviets!

At that moment, Chairman Jiang called Qian Dajun and instructed: "Call Yang Jie immediately, and say that we can accept the conditions put forward by the Soviets, including letting Outer Mongolia become independent, and we can acquiesce, but the amount of aid must be increased!" Plus 50 million rubles! ”

Qian Dajun's expression darkened, and he said respectfully: "Okay, let's arrange it." ”
