Chapter 31: Spend Your Money!
"Brother Luo Yun, what are you?"
The 119th Division Transport Brigade, which came to transport supplies, looked at Luo Yun, who had pulled himself into the corner, and asked with some surprise.
"Well, have your troops been short of money lately? For example, you need to buy a lot of supplies and so on."
Luo Yun organized his tone and asked in his heart.
"Ah, there is no shortage, there is no shortage, enough is enough, and now there is still a lot of silver dollars in the division headquarters that have not been spent"
Hearing Luo Yun's anxious tone, the chief of staff hurriedly waved his hand.
"If the Luo Yun brothers don't have enough funds, we have two million dollars of funds over there that can support you"
"If there are other difficulties, we will also fully support, we don't have anything else, people have"
Looking at Luo Yun's worried expression, the chief of staff thought that Luo Yun was in trouble, and hurriedly said that he could help, this is not a big deal, now with Luo Yun's financial support, the Eighth Route Army is all going well, and the funds supported by overseas Chinese are not spent, and they are all stored in the bank.
And the materials that Luo Yun supported the Eighth Route Army were worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and the big financiers had to help no matter how difficult they were.
"Well, there's a problem, but it's not what you think."
"I have a sum of money on my side that needs to be spent urgently"
Luo Yun was moved at first, and then organized the language.
"Huh?"
The chief of staff was stunned at first, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, Brother Luo Yun is polite, you have helped us so much, now our army can have this situation all thanks to your support, if there is difficulty, you are welcome, everyone is a son and daughter of China, and we should help each other"
"Moreover, now the supplies in the army are also sufficient, with our current ammunition reserves, we will have ammunition for next year."
He thought Luo Yun was embarrassed when he was in trouble.
The chief of staff is also telling the truth, the steel plant in the border area, almost all the weapons of the three main divisions, as well as the recent hundreds of millions of silver dollars, and the hundreds of thousands of tons of food, all of which were provided by Luo Yun.
During the time when they were in control of the road, the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army went all out to organize the transportation and reserve of materials, and invested more than 50,000 mules and 100,000 troops to participate in the transportation.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 10 million shells, hundreds of millions of bullets, tens of millions of grenades, and more than 100 warehouses filled with grain.
"I didn't lie to you, I still have billions of silver dollars over there"
Luo Yun spread his hands.
"Really?"
The chief of staff is still a little unconvinced, who would dislike too much money?
"Really"
Luo Yun sighed, to be honest, no one believed it.
Silver is indeed a good thing, a precious metal, and it is a currency in the current Republic of China, but compared with gold that is completely preserved, the world's demand for silver is extremely limited, according to Luo Yun's estimate, his 200,000 tons of silver will definitely depreciate by more than half of the world's silver. As a currency, the consumption of silver dollars in the Republic of China is also limited, as long as he invests all the silver dollars in his hand, the silver dollar will definitely depreciate.
As long as the devils and European and American countries collect the silver, then there will not be too much silver circulating in the market, and there will be no currency depreciation, and now the devils have not completely turned their faces with the United States, and the silver they get will be exchanged for imported steel and other strategic materials, although this will strengthen the strength of the devils, but it is also limited.
Compared with the Eighth Route Army, which provided ammunition and materials by itself, the growth rate of the devil's strength is far from enough, and besides, the vast majority of the funds will be swallowed up by the devil's navy, and there are very few that can be distributed to the army.
In the end, all the silver will go to the United States and other European and American countries, and Japan is estimated to store a little.
Hehe, when the price of silver has depreciated greatly, hum, there are these countries crying.
When the time comes, the silver will be thrown on the ground, and I am afraid that no one will pick it up.
Well, it's called crisis grafting.
Seeing that the chief of staff still doesn't believe it, Luo Yun goes directly to the example.
"Well, I shipped about 750 million silver dollars this time, and there are more silver dollars in the warehouse in the future, and the cumulative amount of silver is at least 500,000 tons."
Luo Yun snapped his fingers and said, the third batch of supplies is coming, including at least hundreds of thousands of tons of silver.
"Silver dollars can be saved and used later when needed, right? Why rush to use it? ”
The chief of staff still can't understand why the money has to be spent as soon as possible? Wouldn't it be nice to save it and take it out when you want to spend it later?
"Because in the future the value of the silver will depreciate"
"We have too much silver in stock, and if we sell it in large quantities, it will greatly affect the price of silver, resulting in the depreciation of silver, and foreign countries will take more than 50% of the silver profits, and this silver will hardly be profitable for us."
"Only the land of the Republic of China has enough space to digest this than silver"
Luo Yun explained.
"Controlling the depreciation of the silver dollar with the help of the Japanese?"
As a college student, the chief of staff's knowledge system was not bad at all, and he quickly understood what it meant.
The Eighth Route Army now has a total strength of more than 200,000 troops, and the consumption of so many people is extremely huge, food, quilts, clothing, medicines, animal power, these things need to spend a lot of money, although there are now a large number of staple foods provided by Luo Yun, but vegetables still need to be purchased, and the Eighth Route Army needs to continue to expand in the future, these are big spenders.
However, even so, there are still more than 100 million silver dollars in the warehouse of the Eighth Route Army, because Luo Yun gave too many silver dollars...
And now the Japanese control the vast majority of the rich areas in the land of China, and many of these silver dollars spent will eventually go to the Japanese, which is an extremely bad thing, but there is no way, but if a large amount of silver dollars are invested, then the devils will eventually collect too many silver dollars, and the international community will not be able to digest the silver dollars in the hands of the devils, so the silver dollars in their hands will inevitably depreciate in large quantities.
Although it seems that the devils have taken advantage of it, in the process, the Eighth Route Army, which has sufficient material supplies, has grown even more. As long as you accumulate enough strength, you can snatch a part of the rear base from the devils, and with the material assistance of the Luo Yun brothers, it will only take a few years to dare the devils out.
"Right"
Luo Yun snapped his fingers.
"Although the Japanese are now lying on our country's body to suck blood, it is also possible to take advantage of this to sell a large amount of silver, as long as the Japanese suck blood fast enough, then the silver dollar will not depreciate too quickly."
"Well, I'll go and call the other division commanders and chiefs of staff to discuss and discuss next time"
The chief of staff smirked.
