Chapter 134 Situation Analysis
"Okay, if you want it, I can give it all to you."
Geng Chaozhong had a relieved expression on his face.
"Oh?"
Suslov was a little surprised.
Yes, he is very greedy, but he is not as greedy as Geng Chaozhong thought, he made this unreasonable request, in fact, he still wanted to test Geng Chaozhong to see if the downline of Zhu Fatzi's development maintained a high level of loyalty to the Cheka.
However, he didn't expect that this person would put down so many industries so quickly.
"That's right," Geng Chaozhong explained to Suslov:
"Honorable sir, I think that my superior, Comrade Zhukov, has already mentioned to you that when he was leaving, I asked him to borrow 30,000 yuan for his activities. To be exact, this activity fund is all the assets I look at now.
I intend to use this money to run a legal identity in the island city, and by the way, can generate more profits.
But, you see, business has been pretty average lately.
In order to repay the money as soon as possible, I had to kidnap the Japanese merchants in the island city to extort money, all in order to pay off the funds owed to the organization.
Therefore, the 50,000 oceans I gave you include the 30,000 I borrowed from the organization.
In addition, the stores I run have been losing money, and you may need to pay a certain amount of money after you take over. For example, rent, utilities, labor and so on. ”
Suslov looked at Geng Chaozhong suspiciously - to be honest, where did Geng Chaozhong's money come from, he had a lot of doubts about it, but according to Geng Chaozhong's statement now, his money was taken from Zhu Fatzi. In this way, the 50,000 oceans that he got in his hands will be returned to the organization at a cost of 30,000 yuan.
"You mean, your watch shop and residence in the island city are rented?"
After a moment of hesitation, Suslov finally asked.
"Most of them are, but not in the White Mansion. Because the White Mansion was originally Comrade Zhukov's residence, I only borrowed it temporarily. You don't know, I regret starting this company now, since I started this bright watch shop, it looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the monthly expenditure has to be 3,000 oceans!
Not to mention, you have to make friends with the dignitaries and nobles in the island city, and the money is really like flowing water. Take the recent friendship I made with the former Qing Emperor Puyi, and I had to spend five hundred taels of silver every day! If you don't believe me, you can come to my store and look at the ledger.
If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't have done it a long time ago! Now it's hard to ride a tiger, and I can't make ends meet, so I have to make this decision and tie up the ticket to live. ”
Geng Chaozhong poured out bitter water, and Suslov was speechless.
Although he didn't fully believe it, Geng Chaozhong's attitude showed that he was not afraid of him taking over the industry.
At least, after taking over by himself, he will not be able to reap any benefits except for taking on a lot of debts.
Thinking of this, Suslov had to shake his head helplessly and said:
"Forget it, I'm new to the city, and I'm not familiar with many situations, so I took it rashly, I'm afraid the loss will be even greater, and the business of Bright Watch Store will be managed by you first!"
However, Geng Chaozhong also began to shake his head, he looked at the happiness of the organization, and said:
"No, no, Comrade Suslov, I think that since you are here, I have the backbone, and it is better for you to be in charge, by the way, do you have a suitable identity on your side? If not, I can be a manager in my watch shop, which I think would be a perfect cover-up. ”
"Oh?"
Suslov's eyes lit up.
That's right, Geng Chaozhong's proposal is quite constructive.
The cover identity of coming to the island city is a foreign businessman, and there are still many inconveniences in settling down, and it is indeed much more convenient if Geng Chaozhong takes care of him.
However, immediately after, Suslov realized that in this way, his every move would be under Geng Chaozhong's nose, as the saying goes: a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
Before we really figure out this Geng Chaozhong's thoughts, we should still be cautious.
Thinking of this, Suslov shook his head and rejected Geng Chaozhong's proposal.
"Thank you, Geng. I am touched by your kindness. However, I have other tasks in coming to Island City, and I have already prepared my identity in advance, so I won't trouble you. ”
"Can we agree on some contact codes?" Geng Chaozhong asked again.
"No, I'll contact your watch shop if there's something." Suslov's answer was watertight.
Geng Chaozhong understood that this Suslov was very cautious. It seems that for the time being, it is impossible to let this Suslov fall under his control.
However, as long as he is in the island city, he has a chance.
The two discussed the joint code and began to connect the mission, Geng Chaozhong made some reports to Suslov about his actions and plans to approach Pu Yi and the Japanese, and also leaked some secrets of the Party Investigation Section to Suslov. However, Geng Chaozhong did not say a word about our party.
"By the way, Geng, what do you think is the current situation in China? I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
After handing over the task clearly, the two chatted while eating, and added a few glasses of white wine to their stomachs, which made Suslov's vigilance against Geng Chaozhong relax a lot, and the conversation between the two was also a lot more casual.
"Oh, Comrade Suslov, at this stage, it is Yan Xishan who has the advantage, and Wang Zhaoming has also taken advantage of this opportunity to start challenging Chang Kaishen again politically. In general, it is now the time for all the opposition and losing power warlords to unite to challenge the Nanking government.
Their aim, preferably to reorganize the Nanking government, in order to gain greater power, is roughly the following from the demands they are now making:
Wang Zhaoming was appointed party chairman, Yan Xishan was appointed defense minister, and then the presidency was temporarily handed over to Chang Kaishen to achieve a temporary balance of power. But it is clear that Chang Kaishen will never agree - he himself feels that he lacks power, how can he continue to divide it to others? ”
Suslov nodded, what Geng Chaozhong said was also what the Soviet government understood, and this is a conclusion that any sober-minded politician or observer can reach.
"Geng, then, who do you think will be the winner?"
After a moment of silence, Suslov threw out a second question.
"Chang Kaishen."
Geng Chaozhong replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Oh? But just now you said that Yan Xishan has the advantage. ”
Suslov looked interested.
"Yes, but only temporarily. Although Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren were united, their alliance was unreliable and could not form a real joint force. Even if they have an advantage in troops, it will not last, and the current advantage is only temporary - after all, war, in the end, consumes money.
Chang Kaishen holds the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in China, and stands behind the Anglo-American chaebol, and his marriage to Soong Meiling strengthens this advantage.
I judge that the more time passes, the greater Chang Kaishen's advantage will be, and it is only a matter of time before he wins. ”
Suslov listened to Geng Chaozhong's analysis, and his eyes became brighter and brighter - this guy is a rare talent!
This kind of ability to clear the fog of war and point to the essence behind it is rare in this era!
"So, what do you think of Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast?"
After a moment of silence, Suslov asked a third question.
Zhang wanted to emulate the old affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and wait for Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty to lose. didn't know that Chang Kaishen was not Chongzhen, and Yan Xishan couldn't be Li Zicheng. And he himself is very far from Nurhachi's eloquence. He is now sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which seems wise, but in fact, it is not pleasing to both sides. No matter which side wins in the end, there will be a grudge against him.
In my opinion, it's better to stand in line as soon as possible! ”
Suslov's eyes brightened even more.
This analysis completely transcends the so-called conventional thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the fisherman profits, but the analysis made from the comparison of the strength of all parties is really powerful!
Comrade Zhukov, I found a talent for the Cheka!
However, the accuracy of his analysis remains to be verified. However, I can report these words to the above, and I can also show my talent.
Thinking of this, Suslov had a great impression of Geng Chaozhong.
At least for now, this guy is still useful.
Geng Chaozhong also sighed silently - he didn't want to fall out with the Cheka for the time being, and he didn't have the capital. As for this Suslov, it is better to slowly look for an opportunity and let him die silently.
At the same time, from Suslov's words, Geng Chaozhong also vaguely guessed that the Soviet government had begun to bet on all forces in the Central Plains War.
