"You're going to give it all your money?"

"Yes!" Meng Xiang sighed, obviously the money invested in the base can be regarded as his own, and he has to say something else to show his support for the charity industry.

"I just donated all my personal money this year!" He added. As a general, he was paid according to the vanguard army, which amounted to 5,000 oceans a month.

"No!" Pharmacist Tang shook his head beside him.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiang was surprised.

"Up and down. If you donate your salary, others will have to follow suit. Those who have extra money can still rely on their families to eat, but those who eat salaries are in trouble. It's not appropriate to donate all with such fanfare! Pharmacist Tang shook his head again and again.

Meng Xiang also suddenly thought of the routine administrative donations of later generations. It was precisely because he was disgusted with such a way that he adopted the method of issuing bonds. At this time, it was the Red Cross who came to collect donations. He thought that non-governmental charity should also be developed, so he made this move.

Meng Xiang nodded, what Pharmacist Tang said was reasonable, and when the time came, it would be enough to call for donations one by one.

"It's a pity that these charitable organizations were all initiated from abroad. Even the common people think that foreigners love charity! Meng Xiang remembered some rumors in later generations and couldn't help but sigh.

"Foreigner charity? There are many cases of them being deceived and deceived. The common people are afraid of these foreigners. Old Tang didn't understand where Meng Xiang's exclamation came from, so he couldn't help but sneer. In these years, foreigners are still in the primitive accumulation, and the exploitation from those colonies is more vicious than that of vampires, where can there be the gentlemanly demeanor of future generations who are pampered.

"This charity is not all done by foreigners' institutions, many Chinese people are private charities, and there are not many institutions. The point is that once this institution is formed, who will be the home? How will the money be spent? Where is there intrigue and there is still the style of charity, it is better to say that you do a good deed. Pharmacist Tang shook his fan and sighed.

"Individual philanthropy is not as effective as institutional professionalism. As long as the management system and supervision system are in place, this institution is still more suitable for future development. Meng Xiang thought of how many individuals' philanthropic activities were finally stopped or limited to a small range for various reasons, and only large-scale institutions would become more professional and cover a wider area.

"The marshal can set up a charity on his own. With the help of the promotion of the vanguard army, it may not be as good as the red target. "Old Tang has a rare sense of humor.

The rejuvenation of China is from all aspects, and the rise of its own unique culture is to absorb the advantages of others in the soil of traditional culture and then form its own characteristics. At this time, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies were not very strong, but they had begun to move beyond their borders, one rooted in European and American culture, and the other Arab civilization that had risen in the Middle East.

The philanthropic culture in China, like traditional Chinese medicine, can only stay in the hall and wait for time to pass.

"Everyone can do good deeds, even the little girl has opened a good family hall to help one or two around." Pharmacist Tang was a little complacent.

"Oh?"

Meng Xiang couldn't help but be taken aback after investigating Tang Mingyue's good hall. That Ciyun Hall, Old Tang didn't interfere. It has been seven years since Tang Mingyue supported the poor people with free clinics, from Yangzhou to Nanjing to Qidu. After Tang Mingyue became Meng Xiang's nurse, the salary of 100 oceans, which was equivalent to the second lieutenant's salary, was also filled in. Meng Xiangdu didn't expect such a cold-looking girl to be called a living bodhisattva by many people outside. Is there a bodhisattva with such a straight face?

"How can you alone help the poor people of the world? One person doing good deeds can save several people, and encouraging everyone to do good deeds together is a great good deed. Find more people, expand the scale of your good church, and regularize it a little, so that you can help more people for a long time. Here's a draft that you can try out if you think it's appropriate. If you agree, this fund can be used as a fund for the expansion of your Church of Kindness. Meng Xiang listed some of the practices he learned from later generations, and combined with some good experiences of various charities at this time, he made a draft. He was not in a hurry to launch it, and first took advantage of Tang Mingyue's Ciyun Hall to conduct a small experiment. If it does, it's never too late to roll it out on a large scale. And his general's salary became the money for the experiment.

"Yes!" Tang Mingyue cherished words like gold and agreed to this plan. According to the regulations, she can concentrate on vigorously developing the charity industry, which is much better than staying by Meng Xiang's side.

"This sign is good. Very eye-catching! Meng Xiang looked at the schematic diagram of the painting with two slender tea leaves hanging on an acupuncture needle on the Ciyun Hall, and from a distance, the abstract painting looked more like a trademark symbol.

Tang Mingyue just nodded, but did not say anything.

Meng Xiang didn't care, and after waving his hand to let Tang Mingyue leave, his attention quickly focused on some major events that had happened last month.

"Seems to have forgotten something?" Meng Xiang felt that something seemed to have happened in the past November, but it didn't happen.

"Changsha! Changsha fire! After Meng Xiang counted it carefully, he finally remembered that in the original history, there was an incident in November when one of the three major tragedies of the Anti-Japanese War occurred. The specific date has long been forgotten, but it was after the fall of Wuhan.

When the devil approached, Lao Jiang proposed to implement a scorched earth strategy. Zhang Zhizhong, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Political Axe, arranged an arson team, and was specifically responsible for the Changsha garrison commander Xu Kun, the head of the Second Garrison Regiment, and Wen Chongfu, the head of the Changsha City Public Security Bureau. But on the 13th, there was a fire in the hospital for wounded soldiers, and the arson team thought it was a signal and began to set fire to the whole city. As a result, this terrifying and merciless fire lasted for two days and two nights, directly destroying the cultural accumulation of Changsha City for more than 2,500 years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and almost all the cultural relics on the ground were destroyed. More than 80 per cent of the city's houses were burned down, and the once bustling streets were reduced to ruins, destroying schools, banks, factories and shops. The economic losses caused by the fires are about 1 billion yuan.

At that time, when the city was set on fire, the devils were far away, and they did not arrange for the people to evacuate, and there was an accident, and as a result, more than 3,000 people were burned to death after the fact, including many injured and missing.

Meng Xiang remembered the fire that destroyed the city in Changsha for a while, and his heart was also relieved. Finally, it was not in vain, and the three major tragedies during the Anti-Japanese War have all been changed.

The flooding of the Yellow River was stopped by the vanguard. Although Zhengzhou fell into the hands of devils, at least tens of millions of people in the land of Lianghuai no longer suffered from waterlogging. Thousands of miles of fertile land is no longer a yellow flood area full of yellow sand.

This time the Changsha fire, because of the containment of the vanguard army, Wuhan has been in the hands of the Central Army, and Changsha is also safe and sound.

Although the devil's bombing of Chongqing began in February this year, it was blocked twice by the planes of the vanguard army, and more than 30 bombers were lost. Coupled with the Pioneer Army's support for the interception of aircraft traded to the Central Army, and the Pioneer Army's defense system to support and trade hundreds of anti-aircraft guns near Wuhan in Yucheng, the number of bombings by the devils became less and less. Moreover, every time the vanguard army received information from the radar station in advance, it would always notify Yucheng and Wuhan and other places in time. Even the devil's bombardment of Changsha was reminded by the vanguard military first.

So far, there has been no such tragedy of suffocating more than 2,000 people. However, the tragedy in Meng Xiang's memory happened in the forties, and I don't know if it will happen in the future. But with the expansion of the range of defense of the Vanguard aircraft. There are fewer and fewer opportunities for the devils to bomb unscrupulously. In the future, I am afraid that I am worried about my own air defense.

It's been a few days since December, and the theater has been running according to the improved way of the SAR, and the devils have never been able to attack. But Meng Xiang knew in his heart that he would not give up, and there must be a violent storm waiting for him soon.

In order to pay attention to the movements of the devils, all kinds of information collected from the mainland, North Korea, Northeast China, Taiwan, Central China, Guangzhou and other places were constantly collected on Meng Xiang's desk.

"I said that I have reorganized!" Fan Chong frowned, constantly pondering the variables.

At this time, it seems a little inappropriate for me to hang the signboard of the North China Dispatch Army. In order to deal with the vanguard army, and also to pave the way for the next step of Wang Jingwei's regime, and to unify the command in China, he said that he showed the banner of the Huaxia Dispatch Army in advance, and the headquarters was located in Nanjing. Sugiyama got his wish and became the commander-in-chief.

The First Army was responsible for the Shanxi region, with its headquarters in Taiyuan; The newly formed 12th Army was responsible for the defense of Henan, northern Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and its headquarters was in Hefei; The 11th Army was responsible for the battles against Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places, and its headquarters was in Anqing; The 21st Army was still responsible for the defense of the Guangdong region.

"The specific establishment is not yet clear, but the army has been greatly adjusted." Fan Chong looked at the distribution of the Yue army on the map, and rubbed the one-eyed Dao that was a little swollen.

"No matter how they change, we will respond to all changes with the same! Come and hit as many as you want! Meng Xiang said with confidence. Every day, people keep coming to vote, and I see that the army of 500,000 is about to be formed.

"Intelligence shows that the number of the Reading Power Mixed Brigade in the country has reached 14. After the newly formed 30th division, the regiment is almost full. He said that he had to send more than a dozen divisions at a time. Fan Chong shook his head slightly, and said with a slight heaviness.

"Isn't this going to add hundreds of thousands of people to the level that I can afford to raise?" Meng Xiang is now particularly sensitive to the cost of raising soldiers, even if the devil omits it, the military expenditure of one million people will definitely give them a headache.

"They rely on robbery, fighting to feed the war, how can they survive." Fan said in a deep voice.

The two were speechless for a moment.

"They have unified their command, but they are afraid that the next big move will be made. Under unified command of so many armies, the spearhead can only be us and the Central Army. According to the arrangement of the army at this time, it is likely that it is aimed at us. Fan Chong walked to the hanging large map and pointed, "At this time, there are heavy troops around our war zone.

The most powerful army is the Kwantung Army outside the Shanhai Pass, and the defense of the Shanhai Pass can only be guarded for a while, and the pressure will be great in the face of their army. There was a pull in our 180 and 18 divisions; The remnants of the enemy in Zhangjiakou pushed out of the pass, just to wait for a better opportunity to attack. Reinforcements from the Kwantung Army, which had rushed to join them, were joining them. They may also attack us from Zhangjiakou. This is the road to the north, and our 38th Division is on the defensive; The northwest region may have attacked the Mongolian corps in Datong and Suiyuan, and the 38th Division took care of the defense and had insufficient troops; Shanxi's army would attack together from Taiyuan and Jiaozuo, while Pang Bingxun's 39th and 106th divisions were underdefended; In addition, Zhang Lingfu's 74th Division may be able to resist, but if the Yue army in Zhengzhou, south of the Yellow River, attacks north at the same time, the 74th Division can only defend itself; The evacuated troops from Tianjin were concentrated in the Lianghuai area, and if they launched an attack together, it would be difficult to rely on the 41st Division in the Xuzhou area and the 22nd Division in the Lianyungang area; If the army attacked from the sea, there would only be Sun Tongxuan's 20th and 81st divisions along the coast of Cangzhou, Tianjin. With the help of sea and air forces, it may be able to block it, but there are only 50 divisions defending in the Jiaodong area, and I am afraid that there will be a big omission. ”

"If they attack together, it will be very troublesome!" Meng Xiang nodded solemnly.

"Now that they have unified their command, they are definitely going to attack together. And they will come from all directions, and they will take advantage of our lack of troops. And we are not only short of troops, but also a large number of new recruits. There are still quite a few new recruits in the various units, and the 111th and 112th Divisions, which have a large number of new recruits, are being reorganized collectively. Even the 100,000 soldiers trained on the southern front have never experienced a vicious battle and are still considered recruits. We have less than 200,000 men to fight. And the next attack of the army will be at least 300,000 or more, or even more.

And this time, they will definitely not let go of the sky and the sea. We may have some advantage in the sky, but if we concentrate hundreds of planes to attack together, our planes may not be able to block it. Small numbers are always our disadvantage. The disadvantage of the navy is even more obvious, and the navy is known as the third in the world. It's not something that our ships can withstand. I heard that I am working on a new giant cannon that can attack far away. Even with the addition of shore artillery, it may not be able to block their attack together. Fan Chong worried.

The vanguard army's air force and navy were numerically inferior, and they were at a disadvantage in the face of the overall offensive of the army. If the air superiority of the vanguard army is lost, I am afraid that the defense on the ground will be even more difficult.

"If I attack us with all my might, the central army and other forces in various places can also take the opportunity to attack and disturb us." He said that he has always treated the Central Army as the biggest enemy, and it is not so easy to let go.

"When the time comes, it's good to stand by and watch, but I'm afraid that someone will attack us behind the back." Fan Chong rarely sighed with emotion, and people's hearts were sinister.

Meng Xiang was silent, quietly contemplating. Fan Chong's analysis is very thorough, and he is likely to deal with the vanguard army according to this line of thinking. It is not possible to count on others, and he has already heard some news that is unfavorable to the vanguard army within the Central Army. There will always be short-sighted people, and there will always be calculations to settle first and then outside. Some people even viciously spread rumors that the vanguard army was going to establish a reading power political axe in Beiping, which caused speculation among everyone.

Although Meng Xiang has once again declared his support for the central political axe, a Huaxia, refuses to recognize the puppet regime. But none of this can stop some people from fearing the huge vanguard army of Yueyi.

The power in their hands will not be taken away by themselves, even if they take refuge in themselves, they still need them to govern China, but if the vanguard army rises, the new leader will nullify their power. Their honor will be dimmed without flowers and flashing lights, and their family will be devoid of privilege. The simple relationship of self-interest makes them point the finger at their side.

To be honest, in the face of his own attack, although the vanguard army will be very difficult, it also has a certain ability to protect itself. The implementation of the subsistence allowance policy has allowed the vanguard army to gain a foothold on its turf. If the Vanguard raises its arms, more young people will join the Vanguard to protect the hope and future of their own families. On the sea, the vanguard army may be invincible, but on land and in the sky, Meng Xiang is still very confident. The base gave him the greatest self-confidence.

If he attacks with all his might, strategic contempt is okay, but he still needs to pay great attention to tactics.

Since that day, the vanguard army has begun to train more rigorously. At this time, it was the slack season for the peasants, and even the reservists stepped up their training without delaying the farm work, taking care of food and money, and the propaganda of defending their property and homeland that was constantly lingering in their ears. Although most of them can only keep their guns empty, the size of the expanded reserve of 500,000 people cannot be ignored.

"No matter what, we still need to rely on ourselves." The containment of the Central Army and Lao Maozi and others is unreliable, and only by relying on their own strength can they resist the attack of the devils. The Russians, Meng Xiang also sent someone to contact him. But it seems that the Russians are suddenly not interested. Britain and the United States could not count on it, and it seemed that domestic and foreign aid was cut off all at once.

"Keep expanding!" Meng Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

He raised the upper limit of the number of the vanguard army by another 200,000 at once.

"The base is in full production, accumulating ammunition and weapons!" Meng Xiang also understands that his logistics support is insufficient, and the supply of the base also has production time limitations. There is no choice but to accumulate with all your strength and prepare in advance.

On the other hand, he himself is also preparing for a duel with the vanguard army with all his might.
