Chapter 654: Flying Through the Turbulent Clouds Still Calm (Part I)
Who is Toyotaro Yuuki?! He is the president of the Industrial Bank of Japan and the head of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry! Wouldn't such a person be smart?! Listening to Hayashi Mijuro's words, Yuki smiled slightly.
"At the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I will do the communication. But after all, the prime minister has to give me a certain amount of authority, otherwise I won't be able to explain what the Chamber of Commerce and Industry has done, right?! ”
Lin Mi Shiro secretly scolded these damn greedy businessmen in his heart, they only know how to make profits! They don't know how to think about the empire at all, and if the empire is prosperous, won't it make them more money?! Rat's eyes!!
"Huh...... My colleagues in the military department have already told me about this. As long as it can support the empire's China strategy, then after acquiring these resources, the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry have priority to exploit them. And the factories and enterprises in China will be put in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry to manage them......"
Yuuki heard what Hayashi Milling Juro said, and then he said, "Ah! In that case, I will go and consult with all of you in the council. With the Prime Minister's assurance, I am sure that all of you in the Council are willing to do your best for the Empire......"
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Yuki said goodbye to each other.
February 20, 1937, inside the Presidential Palace in Nanjing.
Jiang Zhongzheng pinched the telegram in his hand, his face was terrifying! His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word, and Chen Cheng and the others around him didn't dare to come out, so they waited carefully.
"Niang Xipi!! What is he going to do in the three eastern provinces?! What does he Zhang Xueliang want to do?! This group of bastards who have no party and mislead the country! Do they know what they're doing?! ”
Jiang Zhongzheng suddenly jumped up from his chair and scolded angrily! scolded him like this, and Yang Yongtai and others at the scene were even more afraid to speak. Jiang Zhongzheng, who had a gloomy face, kept scolding all kinds of hometown slang, and the scolding was earth-shattering!
Even the guards outside the door had strange faces, and Jiang Zhongzheng rarely cursed. And it is even more rare to scold so directly. This time, it is estimated that he was really angry with Tu Qianjun!
It is true that he should be angry, and this telegram from the three eastern provinces says that the three eastern provinces have agreed with Zaixin, Yang Hucheng and Chi that Shaanxi is about to establish the Seventh Army of the National Defense Force. And the components of the corps. It is the Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red.
Yes, I specially called Nanjing to report the number. At the same time, the telegram also made it clear. Like other Wehrmacht units, this corps did not need to be provided with weapons and equipment by the Nanjing government, and was all raised by the Wehrmacht itself.
Meantime. In order to prepare for unified logistics supply, all the equipment of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army will be replaced. The Wehrmacht was ready to support them to Nanking.
"Niang Xipi!! He slaughtered the tiger when I was Nanjing?! Is it called Hanako?! Take some rags and send me away?! I don't want this! No!! ”
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart, he really couldn't help it! Although these things are said to be eliminated, everyone knows that they are good things! Speaking of which, that tiger can be regarded as giving face to the Nanjing government, otherwise if these were sold to Yan Xishan and Han Fuyu, these two people would definitely buy them without saying a word!
Now it's given to us for free, which is also considered a favor. However, the name that came out was a little ugly, saying that it was a change of clothes, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was eliminated.
Jiang Zhongzheng scolded for a while. After venting, Yang Yongtai said to Jiang Zhong: "Chairman, indeed! What the three eastern provinces have done this time has gone too far, but we cannot help but see the concessions they have made this time. ”
"Fifty guns, for example, that's pretty good! And those hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, these firepower are rare support. If it was sold to Yan Xishan and the others, they would definitely spend money to buy it. The three eastern provinces can be provided to the national government for free, which is also rare! ”
As he spoke, Yang Yongtai paused and continued: "Chairman! Now the three eastern provinces are full-fledged. It is very closely connected with the nations. If we forcibly let Shaanxi become an army, we will be helpless. You can't always ask for it, can you?! ”
Jiang Zhongzheng listened to Yang Yongtai's words, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching! This is kind of talking about his pain. You just can't ask for it to endure this bird spirit!
Otherwise, he, Jiang Zhongzheng, would have commanded the army to kill him a long time ago! The bright ones don't work, and the dark ones don't work! The three eastern provinces are now in charge of those dark work, and it is Wang Yajiao, who restrained Jiang Zhongzheng very deadly!
When he was fighting alone, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help Wang Yajiao for a long time. Now that Wang Yajiao has the three eastern provinces and the National Defense Army as backers, it is even more difficult to deal with all kinds of resources, manpower and material resources!
Coupled with the original power of the three eastern provinces, Jiang Zhongzheng basically can't play in the three eastern provinces in the dark. Dai Li's forces were also forced to stay outside Shanhaiguan, and although they developed several internal lines in the three eastern provinces, they were all peripheral and did not enter the core.
"The Japanese are ready to move now, but we have to guard against it!" But Yang Yongtai continued to Jiang Zhongzheng: "Continuous requisition, the chairman of the current financial situation of the state government also knows. Bulk purchases. Our situation doesn't allow it......"
Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, this is indeed the case. The brother-in-law Song Ziwen quarreled with him a lot because of this, but Jiang Zhongzheng always remembered the matter of Xi'an some time ago, and the brother-in-law went forward regardless of life and death, so he took a few steps back.
"Our firepower is still not a little worse than that of the Japanese army. If the war starts, it may be difficult to resist......" Yang Yongtai said. In the end, he concluded to Jiang Zhongzheng: "Yes, chairman!" Let's take advantage of this to form a few more main forces to deal with the coming days......"
Jiang Zhongzheng sat on the chair all of a sudden, his face cloudy! After being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice to everyone: "This matter, let the resignation leader hand it over to Jingzhi to do." Hikoji is responsible for helping me sort out the manuscript and release the ......"
Everyone nodded yes, and looked at Jiang Zhongzheng's ugly face, and they all knew each other and said no more to say goodbye and leave. After everyone left, Jiang Zhongzheng sighed and left the office.
He can't do anything anymore now, he just wants to rest. When she returned home, Song Meiling had already heard about the incident and brought her younger brother Song Ziwen to persuade her.
After Song Ziwen promised to purchase arms and planes from the United States, Jiang Zhongzheng's face looked better.
On 23 February, the Nanjing government sent He Yingqin and Chen Chengfuzhi to Shaanxi to carry out military training. In fact, it was just to receive the equipment vacated by the Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red Army.
At this time, about forty percent of the commanders of the Northeast Army, the 17th Route Army, and the red middle and high-level commanders had already gone to the Northeast National Defense University for further study. The equipment at the grassroots level has already been delivered, and the first batch of rifles, light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars have been equipped with more than 40 percent of the troops.
Naturally, their equipment was to be transferred to Nanjing on a priority basis, and the equipment of the rest of the troops was brought back with them after the return of some middle and high-ranking officers who had advanced their studies.
In view of the fact that there are too many junior officers, and for the sake of the stability of the troops, it is not good to go to the three eastern provinces to study military affairs. As a result, the National Defense Forces dispatched their own grassroots officers to Shaanxi to conduct military training and training for several parties.
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin went to visit such a lecture with a little interest, but their faces were not good-looking after listening! The first point of the Wehrmacht's lectures was to teach all soldiers literacy.
Then there is the open column of military affairs, and the number of people in each company, platoon, and even each squad, and the amount of military pay that officers, soldiers, and non-commissioned officers at all levels should receive are all clearly stipulated! There are even dishes for the daily meals, the treatment of retired soldiers, the death pension, and the disability pension...... And so on all announced.
The officers did not have a small stove and had to eat with the soldiers. At the same time, the Wehrmacht's version of the three disciplines and eight points of attention were also posted on the wall as a warning, and those grassroots Wehrmacht officers would teach the soldiers to read the meaning word by word.
The army does not have a gendarmerie, but there are pickets. Anyone can report the situation directly to the picketers, and the posted announcements can be understood by the soldiers under the leadership of literacy classes.
At the same time, there was also a system of meritorious service awards and military academy examinations. To put it simply, as long as you have made meritorious service on the battlefield and your education level is up to standard, you can apply for the military academy.
Chen Cheng and the others thought that if they did this in their own troops, it would definitely turn the world upside down! The people below who eat empty salaries and pour weapons will definitely make a fuss! The whole army will simply be a mess and become out of control.
But at the same time, they also admit that the cohesion and centripetal force of the troops will indeed be much more concentrated in this way! It's a pity that they also know that the troops on the Nanjing side must not do this.
"Yang Mou, ......" lived in Shao Zili's mansion, He Yingqin sighed at Chen Cheng: "We always say that the Wehrmacht and that tiger are playing some conspiracy, but people are actually not playing any conspiracy at all. It's all a conspiracy! ”
"It's on the bright side, it's in front of us! But can we learn it?! Can we learn?! Even if he made it clear to us, what could we do?! ”
Chen Cheng was speechless when he heard He Yingqin's words, this is indeed a conspiracy on the surface! People don't even bother to use any kind of tricks such as bribery, espionage and espionage, it's completely in front of you that you can't learn it!
If Tu Qianjun stood in front of them, he would tell these two. This is the core value, and the core value is the irreplaceable and inimitable part of you. Even if I put it in front of you, you still can't learn it, you can't learn it.
With this core value, individuals and systems will stand out. Although He Yingqin and Chen Cheng did not understand what core values were, they understood that the difference between their troops and the national defense force was more than just a grade.
On February 25, 1937, the Nanjing State Government, the National Defense Army, and the Northeast Army, the 17th Route Army, and the Red Army stationed in Shaanxi issued a joint announcement: The original Northeast Army, the 17th Route Army, and the Red Army were officially reorganized into the Seventh Army of the National Defense Army after evaluation!
