"We're still lacking a lot! It takes a little bit to build. It takes time, not just money. Meng Xiang sighed.

Runs on his own banks have occurred in various parts of China. And the initiators were Meng Xiang, but although they had a plan, they lacked the manpower to complete it. Although the power of the vanguard army has been controlled to every township in the Seventh War Zone, the infiltration ability of large areas outside cannot be compared with that of the Central Party and the Red Party, and in many places even the control of some local associations and gangs is not as good as the control.

It is still possible to obtain a lot of information by spending money on the establishment of intelligence organizations in various localities, but in terms of employing personnel, it is not something that can be done by various intelligence points that have only been established for less than a year. And even if he could do it reluctantly, Meng Xiang didn't intend to expose those intelligence points in this matter. So this time, Meng Xiang once again threw money, the cost of one million oceans for the Central Party and the Red Party. The money was deposited in his own bank for three or five yuan, and when the time came, they organized people to go and withdraw the money together, and the money would be taken out and would belong to them. Coupled with the rumors of coaxing by the people around him, a run on the storm was immediately formed.

In addition, the news that he had suffered a big loss on the military ticket of the vanguard army came out, and everyone pushed the wall together, and the temporary run made many of his banks close one after another. Even those who didn't close their doors were drained of their funds by the crowd that came to redeem them.

This frustrated his attempt to secure a position in the Vanguard Army's ticket market the next day. The defeat was like a mountain. A large amount of money on the vanguard side began to exert its power, and it continued to be smashed, coupled with the reversal of the people, so that the points returned to the normal 10 points in one fell swoop, and even exceeded them. Then came the news that the vanguard army was attacking Guisui. The news of this news made his plan to borrow money from Britain and the United States a little delayed.

Seeing that the delivery was imminent, he never had a chance to lift it up. In the end, he had to lose more than 40 percent, dropped more than 50 million US dollars, and returned defeated.

Kobayashi Koji screamed three times in the sky and committed suicide by caesarean section.

Kenji Dohihara was severely reprimanded from above. But this plan was made by the base camp, so he did not lose his official position, and continued to be his spy leader.

This time, not counting the earnings of others, the vanguard army alone gained not only the 50 million US dollars, but also the peripheral domestic and foreign funds, and the harvest exceeded 200 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Many of the foreign banks in China enter at 7 or 8 o'clock after watching from the sidelines, and they are already 9 o'clock when they are thrown, and some of them are not even thrown out until 10 o'clock. It is also a large loss. As a result, some foreign firms were also pushed to the brink of bankruptcy and had to sell Huaxia's assets to survive. This allowed the vanguard to make a fortune from it.

The 10 points did not last too long, after all, the appreciation of the copper circle is the general trend, the vanguard army relied on the strength of the rebound to withstand a while, and slowly recovered, so that the exchange rate of the copper circle stabilized to about 9.6.

At this point, this copper round war is over.

Meng Xiang relied on arms deals, as well as the financial funds of the political axe, all kinds of money looted by the Han Dynasty, funds obtained from the auction of assets, war bonds and other funds, plus some loans borrowed in advance from the Czechs, Poland, the French, and the Germans, and gathered a billion dollars. Relying on the value of the military ticket itself and the support of the people, it was able to overcome this difficulty in one fell swoop.

Originally, Meng Xiang estimated that one billion was not enough, but he didn't expect that so much domestic capital in Huaxia would enter. If it hadn't been publicized later, it was said that he was making trouble, which made many people choose to stand by, quit, or even turn against him, and the vanguard army would not have won so easily. This can't help but Meng Xiang sighs again that there are many people and great power.

In a few days, the two sides invested more than $3 billion. The buyer lost more than 400 million US dollars this time, and many of the apartments and widows in Beijing and Tianjin were also sellers who began to bankrupt. Speculators in other places got the news late, and they rushed to observe it and started at about 7 o'clock, but they were hedged with a large amount of money, and they lost a lot of money. Even the activities of some gangs have been curtailed considerably. It is rumored that some bigwigs in the central government also jumped to scold their mothers and suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, Meng Xiang completely ignored these, and just took stock of the gains and losses of this operation and was full of emotion.

"I can understand why it's called a financial predator. It's unforgettable! He sighed, 200 million US dollars, selling two Yamato may not make any of this, but now it can be earned in a few days.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the U.S. stock market in 29 years!" Thinking that in less than a month in 29 years, 26 billion US dollars in assets were wiped out, and Meng Xiang was still greedy. But in his mind, he is more vigilant about financial warfare. Only by experiencing it can you feel its tragedy. In the future, the opponent will not only be a careless one, but if it is Britain and the United States and other countries, the scale of the attack will not be limited to these, so it is necessary to improve the system so that the opponent has no opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is the game of capital, and one of the measures of capital is how much to compare. Therefore, strength is the most important thing, without strength, everything is empty talk.

"At this time, the vanguard army must have received strong support from the copycat company. I didn't expect them to be able to gather so much money so quickly, that copycat company is so rich that it should not be underestimated. Fumiro Konoe sighed. At this time, the loss of 50 million US dollars is also quite significant, which is real money and silver liquidity. With this reserve, 500 million yuan can be issued without affecting the domestic economy, but at this time, it has been lost. The misjudgment of the relationship between the vanguard army and the copycat company is one of the reasons.

"They also spared no effort in supporting the vanguard army. We need to re-understand the strength of the vanguard army. In this way, with the full support of the cottage company, we will no longer face a force without a foundation. I'm afraid that the future empire will be more difficult. Konoe Fumiro said a little depressed.

In the face of the defeat of the vanguard army in several wars, this series of losses needs someone to bear this responsibility, and Konoe Fumiro, the emperor's favorite retainer and one of the court nobles of the Five Regents, was squeezed out by the army and saddled with this black cauldron.

"And our offense?" Kiichiro Hiranuma hesitated. Fumiro Konoe, who was advancing with retreat, recommended Kiichiro Hiranuma as the new prime minister, and switched positions with him to become the new Privy Councillor, whose power was still maintained, and became an important weight under the balance of the royal family.

"Ready to fly, I have to send it!" Fumiro Konoe sighed softly. The people need a counterattack to maintain confidence, otherwise, according to the economic situation at home, once they lose confidence in the war and lose the transfer of external contradictions, they are afraid that all kinds of contradictions will immediately erupt internally, and the political axe will immediately collapse.

"Continue to press forward until Baotou is finished." In the command headquarters, after receiving the news that the 38th Army of the vanguard army had occupied the Guisui abandoned by the devils, Meng Xiang ordered again.

"Keep attacking!" Zhang Zizhong, who had been rushing with the team, waved his hand.

The Pingsui line has been extended to Baotou, and even if the devil destroys it, the hurried one is not very serious. This also brought convenience to the advance of the vanguard army. In a remote mountainous area near Guisui, a tank factory and logistics command center have been set up, and weapons, ammunition, and supplies are immediately loaded with newly produced trucks and transported. The Pingsuiyuan Railway behind it was even more loaded with all kinds of supplies that had been transported. One is to disguise the source of weapons and ammunition, and the other is to transport some civilian materials to maintain social stability in the occupied areas.

"The vanguard is catching up again!" Major General Shi Benyinsan, chief of staff of the Mongolian Corps, said bitterly. The vanguard was too fast, and a brigade in the rear that was blocking the sweep was overtaken by the vanguard of the vanguard. The firepower of the two Kirov airships reduced them to single digits in the field.

The commander of the garrison corps, Lieutenant General Liannuma, was silent, and he withdrew according to the instructions of the base camp, attracting the offensive forces of the vanguard army to the west. But the rapid attack of the vanguard army followed them directly to their heels. As soon as they arrived in Baotou on the front foot, the rear foot of the vanguard army's airship followed.

The high-altitude stationary bombing caused heavy losses to the search team of the 26th Division, which was in charge of air defense, and their anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition were insufficient.

It stopped in just three minutes, and there were not many targets for the large group on the ground.

A large number of bombs were used in the last carpet bombardment, but the supply of ammunition was still relatively short as the army was about to counterattack, after all, the output per unit time of the base was also limited. It is impossible to use such a large amount of money for a long time. Three minutes of rain is enough to deter the devil troops below.

The rest of the time is the show time of the plane.

After refueling the airstrip at Guisui, the escort planes began to attack with the airship again. Accompanied by the scream of Stuka D, Raiden was the first to fire, attacking the scattered devils on the ground with a machine gun. Those devils who scattered in the airship bombing are not worth the bombs Stuka throws.

"We can't win this battle without restraining the power of the air. Their infantry still has less than fifty kilometers left. Shi Ben Yinsan reminded.

He said that he paid more and more attention to the strength of the vanguard air force. Having lost the cover of their aircraft, their infantry and navy became pitiful targets in front of the vanguard. Not only did those old planes not work, but they also lost a lot of pilots. So far, the loss of more than 200 pilots has made Yue himself feel painful.

So, having made up his mind, he began to vigorously develop air power. The Zero aircraft was not only born early, but also became a model used both at sea and on land after being replaced with engines. Mitsubishi, Nakajima, Kawasaki, Tachikawa and other major aircraft factories produced together, and the production scale was expanded to six aircraft a day.

But so far there have been no more than 100 planes, let alone support the troops stationed in Mongolia.

"Keep evacuating!" After being silent for a while, Lian Nuanfan, commander of the Mongolian Corps, suddenly spoke, "We crossed the Yellow River overnight and went to Shaanxi. "At this time, the army stationed in Mongolia included part of the engineer wing, light and heavy wing, and artillery wing of the 26th Division, and there were less than 7,000 people left. Facing the 38th Division of the Vanguard Army, they had no chance of victory at all.

And to the west is Fu Zuoyi's army, even if it rushes all the way, but the vanguard army behind it follows all the way, if it does not get support, in the end the entire army stationed in Mongolia will become history. There were no reinforcements to the west and north, and they couldn't get through to the east, so they had to choose to go south. If you travel all the way to the south, you can get in touch with the devil team in the south of Shanxi and go to Shanxi. It can even continue to rush south into the Guanzhong Plain.

Some people plan to sacrifice the Mongolian troops, and some people want to save them. As long as there are military exploits, the shame of the Mongolian army will be washed away.

"To the south!" He looked at the winter dusk and the airship of the vanguard army in the sky wrapped in a golden layer of the light of the setting sun, and said in a deep voice.

"What? Did the devil cross the Yellow River overnight? In the middle of the night, Meng Xiang, who received the news, was also surprised, he originally wanted to slowly pack up the troops stationed in Mongolia, after all, there were not many of their fighters. But I didn't expect the devil to cross the Yellow River overnight. In February, the ice on the Yellow River is thick in many places, and people can cross the river by stepping on it. But the situation of the army crossing the river is different, so many people and materials, it is easy to cause collapse if you are not careful.

Because it was getting late, the planes had already returned to Guisui, and the airships that lacked aircraft escorts were worried about being attacked by the devil's planes, so they also returned to the vicinity of Guisui to replenish ammunition by the way.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Zizhong, who received the news, led the 38th Division to the Yellow River in Baotou in a hurry. Originally, they were slowly marching along the way to repair the Pingsui Railway, and the instructions they received from above were to fight steadily and steadily without haste. This is mainly the issue that Meng Xiang has been thinking about the relationship with the second war zone.

The vanguard army's battle this time, when he was in Zhangjiakou, it was good to say that Lu Zhonglin's cooperation had been negotiated, and he also fell to the side of the vanguard army. Therefore, the central political axe can't say anything.

However, this raid on Datong and the capture of Jining, although the lost land was recovered, neither the central political axe nor Yan Xishan agreed to cooperate.

Yan Xishan has been paying attention to the changes in the territory of the vanguard army for a long time, and he knows it clearly. He knew very well in his heart that if the vanguard army captured Shanxi, they would be able to spit out the meat in their mouths? Even if Yan Xishan has been in Shanxi for more than 20 years, he will be destroyed in the face of the low-security storm of the vanguard army.

He also has no good way to deal with them for the time being. This method can't say what's wrong with people, this is not the way of Soviet Russia, privatization still exists, and it is welcome from top to bottom, and there is no way to buckle the hat. I have the heart to be stronger than them, but I can't do it.

The issue of distributing the grain involved in the subsistence allowance is not too serious in normal times, and the only thing that needs to be worried about is the issue of distribution and the balance of interests involving the major forces. But at this time, a large amount of money still needs to be invested in military spending to protect itself, where can the people's livelihood be taken care of?

The only thing to hope for is that the vanguard army has limited financial resources and is confined to one place.

Who knows, they expanded rapidly, and soon expanded from Shandong to the Beijing-Tianjin region, and then recovered Hebei, Chahar and other places, and implemented the subsistence allowance policy together. This made Yan Xishan feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, the vanguard army quickly sent someone to contact the matter of cooperation. At that time, it was just some cooperation matters near Taihang Mountain, but Yan Xishan did not let go at all.

If you want to cooperate, how to cooperate? Unless it is said that the territory laid down is still managed by Lao Yan Xishan. Even then it is not safe, if the vanguard army comes there. After a long time, there will be a plebiscite of the whole people. Yan Xishan still has to step down. If it falls into the hands of himself, he will still have a chance to counterattack. But in the hands of the vanguard army, without the righteousness of the national war, there is no chance of regaining it.

The best thing to do at this point is to stay away until you think of a better way. Therefore, Yan Xishan has always been polite and polite to the personnel who went to negotiate with the vanguard army, but he has always been playing Tai Chi and going around in circles, but he has not made a clear statement.

Lao Chiang did not want the power of the vanguard army to expand, and at this time it was already a threat to the central power. Wouldn't it be impossible to expand any further, and half of the country would fall into their hands? As a result, Lao Jiang also put aside the request for the vanguard army's attack on the outside.

Meng Xiang had already known some things about Yan Xishan and Lao Jiang, and he was not surprised by this. directly played a trick to cut first and then play, and didn't care what Lao Yan's attitude was, and attacked directly. This is also one of the reasons why I was not prepared.

As soon as the vanguard army captured Datong, it immediately ignited a political storm.

Among the various bigwigs in the central political axe, almost all the spearheads began to point at the vanguard army. They break the unspoken rules.

Akari, everyone is accusing the vanguard army of not obeying military orders and transferring troops privately. But in fact, everyone was afraid of the expansion speed of the vanguard army. If he does not fight like this, his rapid expansion will one day burn to the heads of warlords of all stripes. At this time, it had not yet gone through the complete baptism of the Anti-Japanese War, and the strength of the warlords from all walks of life was still very strong.

At this time, the vanguard was guilty of public outrage. As a result, after the vanguard army captured Datong, it stopped its offensive and concentrated on adjusting internal problems.

But the debate about Datong continues, but how can Meng Xiang care about this? The Datong vanguard army is dead occupying and not letting go, this is taken from the hands of devils, and they have the ability to snatch it themselves. If you don't take the initiative to attack others, it doesn't mean that others will be bullied to the head, and you will be honestly and passively beaten. If anyone is not convinced and wants to come to train the troops, the vanguard army will definitely not be polite.

When the base is stabilized, it can be regarded as gaining a foothold in Datong. Meng Xiang began to continue to attack outward.

Suiyuan Province was Zhu Shaoliang's eighth theater of operations, and also governed Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia. As usual, Meng Xiang went to talk about cooperation first. But at this time, the vanguard army is on the cusp, how can Zhu Shaoliang talk to him about cooperation? Moreover, at this time, the troops stationed in Mongolia have been almost defeated, and the remaining more than 10,000 people can fight for a while as long as they work hard, and maybe they can be expelled and recovered.

In this regard, it is naturally a procrastination.

How could Meng Xiang not know his idea? Seeing the last step, it's time to make a wedding dress for someone else. Meng Xiang arranged a large game of chess, and he would not let others mix it up. He stopped circling and directly ordered the vanguard army to fight. In one day, he captured Gui Suiyuan, and rushed to Baotou overnight. These two places are bound for him. At this time, the army assembled by Zhu Shaoliang had not yet been accumulated. Gansu and Ningxia in the Eighth War Zone were full of warlords, large and small, and even Fu Zuoyi's troops near Wuyuan were separated from Yan Xishan's Jin army. None of these people will be easily at his disposal.

Fu Zuoyi had the intention of attacking the Mongolian army, but the more than 3,000 devils who stopped in Baotou were also a big threat, and he was also dragged to Shanxi to attend a meeting criticizing the vanguard army. When he came back to mobilize people, there was already news that the vanguard army had conquered Guisui.

For Yan Xishan and Zhu Shaoliang, Meng Xiang was not very polite, after all, they were all old warlords who had accumulated years. But Fu Zuoyi, as a bright star in the Anti-Japanese War, Meng Xiang still cares a lot. It's just that Fu Zuoyi was already the commander-in-chief of the former enemy on the northern route of the Second Theater at this time, and he commanded the 35th Army, the newly formed division, the 1st Cavalry Army and the 2nd Cavalry Army. He is already a hegemon, and it is difficult to gather the command of the vanguard army.

Even so, Meng Xiang didn't want to make a relationship with him too stiff. Baotou and Guisui are what Meng Xiang must get, but with a little bit of military exploits, he still doesn't mind giving them to Fu Zuoyi, who is negotiating cooperation with him. So those devils, Meng Xiang plans to slowly drive them out of Baotou and hand them over to Fu Zuoyi to clean up those small ones.

But he himself directly gave up the resistance and crossed the Yellow River directly and ran south.

"Set up a cannon and blast the river ice for me!" Zhang Zizhong waved his hand, he didn't expect that the devil had no intention of fighting, and directly continued to retreat.

"Boom, boom!" Although the heavy artillery of the accompanying army did not arrive, the 76-mm tank guns of the fast-following tanks fired to the vicinity of the Yellow River and bombarded first.

As the shells exploded on the ice, the ice of the Yellow River cracked. The hundreds of soldiers who were running to the ice to cross the river shouted in unison, and they scrambled towards the shore.

Makudo and Ji also ran wildly with the crowd, and the abandoned cart behind them didn't care, and it was a victory to be able to run to the other side.

"Boom!" A cannonball landed in front of him, and although the splashed pieces of broken ice did not hurt anyone, the ice in front of him had already shattered, and he watched as a long white mark snaked and cracked under his feet, and the clatter sound made him shudder.

"Don't come here!" He shouted in horror at the dozen or so devils rushing behind him, "The ice has cracked!" ”

As if in response to his words, the white mark immediately deepened, and with a crisp sound, hundreds of square meters of ice around it shattered into pieces with countless cracks.

"Ahh A dozen or so devils around screamed and fell into the turbid Yellow River water.
