The leader is very addicted to smoking, and if he writes an article at night, he will get at least two packs at dawn.

After smoking two cigarettes, the leader finished reading the list, raised his head and said to Li Zetian: "If you have the opportunity to meet, thank him in person for me, and please say another word: make up for it!" ”

Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, and nodded heavily.

The leader's words were a bit heavy, and even he didn't react for a while.

In fact, he was more anxious than anyone else to see Fang Bu.

Li Zetian wanted to ask this Mr. 100, how did he learn about the special communication channel between the Southern Bureau and the Central Committee?

Do you even know the power-on code of the Southern Bureau?

It must not have been the Kuomintang spies who detected the telegraph channel and deciphered the telegraph code, otherwise the Southern Bureau would have been terminated long ago.

Nor could it be that Mr. Hundred knew about it from his father.

Since Fang Shiqi was engaged in underground work, he had never been exposed to any information about the organization's radio transmission and reception.

In addition, Li Zetian is also very curious about the origin of these materials.

Grain cloth is easy to manage, and Shanghai can buy it.

But where did the weapons of this aid come from?

Three times before and after, there were more than 4,000 spears alone, except for the few hundred Hanyang-made guns, the rest were all imported guns.

German-style ker98k, Soviet-style Mosin Nagant, British seven-seven style......

A new shipment, the gun oil on the gun is intact.

Except for the central government, even local warlords cannot get their hands on such a large number of imported guns at once.

How did Fang Buwei get it?

And those baibaodan and imported wound medicine?

Fang Buwei's uncle Xiao Zaiming is now Mr. Yu Erjun's assistant in China, mainly responsible for the production, operation and transportation of Yunnan Pharmaceutical Factory.

However, the premise is that the consent of Mr. Yu Erjun must be obtained from the actual controller of the pharmaceutical company.

What about imported weapons and imported wound medicine, are they also related to Yu Erjun?

For this matter, several leaders who learned the identity of Mr. Hundred also discussed it.

The leaders unanimously agreed that, first of all, the weapons and wound medicine must have been obtained by Mr. 100 through overseas channels.

Because he's abroad right now.

As for the source of funds, no one guessed that Fang Buwei paid for himself, and they all guessed whether Fang Buwei used some methods and means to get it from overseas Chinese organizations.

That's more than four million oceans, or more than a million dollars......

The reason why he was so suspicious was because of Fang Buwei's relationship with Yu Erjun.

In March last year, information came from Nanjing that the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association, the China Relief Bureau, and the Nanyang Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association, which was composed of overseas Chinese in the Americas, jointly sent a telegram to the Nanjing Government: The Nanjing Government promised not to use the funds raised for the civil war before the Relief Bureau would hand over the funds raised to the Nanjing Government.

It would be hellish that the Nanjing government could make such a guarantee.

Therefore, for the whole of last year, the central government did not receive donations from overseas Chinese in Nanyang and the Americas.

Yan'an speculated that the money for the purchase and sale of the materials that Fang Buwei had aided might come from this money.

The reasons are far-fetched, but they are not without roots.

They really couldn't find out who else would help Fang except Yu Erjun.

One of the purposes of Li Zetian's visit to Shanghai this time was to find a way to get in touch with Yu Erjun and the Nanyang Alliance through Fang Buwei.

Mainly because of Yu Erjun's influence, and secondly, the political tendencies shown by Yu Erjun also made Yan'an see this possibility.

Yu Erjun is not only the vice president of the Nanyang Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association, but also the director of the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Salvation Association of Wuzhou and the China Salary Raising Bureau, and the China Relief Bureau.

And the most coincidental thing is that last year, he called the Nationalist Government to inform him that the three overseas Chinese organizations that had suspended their aid, and Yu Erjun was appointed as a director......

Before the Xi'an Incident, overseas Chinese organizations in various places urged the Nationalist Government to stop the civil war, and in the joint statement of joint resistance against Japan, Yu Erjun's name was in the first row.

Yan'an believes that as long as it can get the support of Yu Erjun, it will be possible to get the support of the Nanyang and the Overseas Chinese Organization in the Americas, and the certainty of promoting the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will be greater.

Don't underestimate the influence of overseas Chinese in Nanyang and the Americas on the government of the Republic of China.

Before the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression, the annual donations of overseas Chinese in these two places accounted for 20% of the military expenditure of the Nationalist government.

Among them, Nanyang accounts for 10%, and the American Overseas Chinese Organization accounts for 10%.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, more and more overseas Chinese organizations took the initiative to donate, and the amount of donations became more and more huge, and the proportion reached its peak.

During the three-year period from '37 to '40, the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Alliance alone donated $500 million in military expenditure, accounting for more than 80 percent of the Nationalist Government's total military expenditure in the past three years.

In the past three years, the national government has not printed the fiat currency like waste paper, and the fiat currency is relatively strong.

By 40 years, 100 fiat currency can buy a cow, even if it is exchanged on the black market, it can almost be exchanged for nearly 20 US dollars, and in the future generations, it is not much different from the purchasing power of 10,000 yuan.

500 million US dollars is converted into legal tender, and there are at least more than 2 billion.

In 41, the Japanese army launched the Pacific War, and the last donation of the Nanyang Alliance was 100 million US dollars.

After that, all parts of Nanyang fell one after another, and the Nanyang Anti-Japanese Alliance tended to be paralyzed, and all activities almost came to a standstill, and it was no longer able to organize such a powerful force as it had been in the previous three years.

Since then, the overseas Chinese in the Americas have begun to relay again.

In the next five years, the total amount of donations from overseas Chinese in the Americas was more than 70 million US dollars, of which the Chinese Fund-raising Association presided over by Situ Meitang accounted for more than 20%, amounting to more than 14 million US dollars.

The above amount does not include the national salvation bonds issued by the National Government during the eight-year period.

In the past eight years, a total of 3 billion yuan of treasury bonds have been issued, and the amount subscribed by overseas Chinese has exceeded 1.2 billion......

Although this is only a tentative contact, Yan'an still hopes to get a good start.

A month ago, Li Zetian was ordered to send a telegram to Fang Buwei and ask for his opinion, but Fang Buwei only replied with four words: The time has not yet come.

It's not impossible, but now isn't the best time?

Lee Sawada was overjoyed.

As long as there is a chance.

……

Half a month later, Li Zetian returned to Xi'an.

The next day, he was ordered to take a plane to Shanghai by Zhang Chong, a member of the Kuomintang Central Committee.

February 20, the tenth day of the first month.

The Sihai General Hall opened in Sin Chau, and Yu Erjun officially stepped down as the mountain master of the Nanyang Sihai General Hall, and stepped down as the director of the China Relief Bureau, which was also replaced by Fang Buwei.

Hongmen and overseas Chinese organizations from all over Nanyang sent representatives to observe the ceremony.

Guangzhou, Fujian, Hong Kong and other places who have made good friends with Yu Erjun business and political celebrities also came uninvited and congratulated one after another.

By the time Song Ziwen heard the news, it was already after the Lantern Festival.
